Cannot choose life events
« on: May 30, 2012, 02:41:06 am »
Alright so after working around the last problem, I'm so close to finishing just making my character. Unfortunately when I came to the page where you choose your life events, I couldn't select any of them. I would highlight the one I want and tried clicking the arrows that allow me to choose it, but it wouldn't do anything. I tried selecting different events, clicking directly on the event with the mouse, and tried every button on the keyboard (literally just sliding my finger down a row of keys). The randomizing button works, but I can't delete the items so I can't use the backwards arrow either. So I tend to end up with events I don't want or a negative cp.

Appreciate the help =)

I guess if no one knows how to fix this I'll just choose some random events and not mention them in-game. Hopefully I'll be in-game by next week after finals are over :)

Such a possibly serious issue should not be reported in the forum only, developers don't read every post here immediately (I missed it the first time as well). But the bugtracker is a recommended place, because there its solution will be tracked. I will try to check your issue ... little patience, please.

I just tested it with the Windows 32-bit client version 0.5.9.1, and I could select life events, add them and remove them vice versa with the arrow buttons. Which client do you use, and which resolution for the game window (width×height)?

I had this exact same problem.  If it helps, I was running on Ubuntu on an HP laptop with intel graphics card.

I just kept rebuilding my character until I got a random life event I was happy with.

Eh, that awkward moment you forgot about the bugtracker.  :oops:

I use the Mac OSX 0.5.9.1 client, although pslaunch claims I am using client 0.5.9.2? Typo maybe? I keep the game window at 800x600.

PlaneShift has several different version numbering systems: a) the release package; b) the client executable; c) the data patches.

I wonder if the "hotspots" of the arrows are just too small to hit them reliably (it is not "the picture" you click, but a "sensitive rectangle" which should cover it, but might not exactly do so). But I guess you already tried clicking around and close to them.

It simply doesn't work with resolutions below 1024x768. (Not that is really matters with all those other bugs in the login screen...at least PS shows already in the first 20 seconds that it's still in alpha phase)

Edit: But hi Tinwei...even if you can't get PS to work you can at least say hi in IRC. ;)
