Buttons menu thingy

[Rage McCloud]

OK! you know the button in the top left hand corner with the two down arrows and you click it and it gives you all those buttons... i dont see it... what do i do to get it back as it seems simi vital to play the game to its full potential...

[zabeal]

Well, you can edit the file planeshift.cfg found in program files/planeshift, and find the following line:
PlaneShift.GUI.ControlWindow.Visible = false
change that to this:
PlaneShift.GUI.ControlWindow.Visible = true

[Rage McCloud]

sorry but that didnt help at all... its still not there...

[AryHann]

Do you see the other windows? Can you post a screenshot of your in game window?

It might be that your menu has been moved from its original position, to more on the left, making that icon disappearing. Problem is that now it is hidden :\\

[Rage McCloud]

ok now this is REALLY strange... look closely in the screenshot and you can tell im in the middle of Hydlaa... BUT as you can see... there is something wrong with the picture



ITS ALL DARK!!! whats wrong with this... it has sort of been this way... but not THIS dark before...

[AryHann]

Ok, from what I can see:
1) you don\'t have a problem with the interface, you have probably your \"toolbar\" hidden somewhere on the left or on top therefore you cannot see the little icon.

2) it is dark because you have met the famous darkness bug... for which there hasn\'t been yet found a solution.

Can you post maybe your planeshift.cfg so we can check that the content is like Zabeal was suggesting?

Hi,

I\'d also like to add that

1) the in-game darkness should disappear quite soon, just wait a bit.

2) In planeshift.cfg you can check in what coordinates your toolbar window is;

PlaneShift.GUI.ControlWindow.PosX = 0
PlaneShift.GUI.ControlWindow.PosY = 0

(Set them both to zero to return the toolbar to top left corner.)

3) From your cfg, it seems that the toolbar is set to very small size. Try setting the following lines to eg. these values:

PlaneShift.GUI.ControlWindow.Width = 499
PlaneShift.GUI.ControlWindow.Height = 36


Thanks,

THANK YOU!!! i did the hieght and width thing and also cahnged it to true instead of truefalse and then it gave me an error message and i looked at my cfg and the true is still true but it changed hight to 17 and width to 16 so then i cranked PS up again and it works great!

edit: and now its like 210 and 191... i\'ll reinput the h and w you posted...

edit2: ok it works great

[Rage McCloud]

OK so there is a darkness bug right? well is there anything about a greeness bug or a blueness bug?

[Rage McCloud]

sorry for double post but i want you to be able to see that i have something else to say... anywho...

every time i restart PS i have to redo the height and width thing... why is that?

[dragonfire999]

I would be happy!
Mr Kran now has night vision?

[Rage McCloud]

and btw now he is a Klyros... i did some changing of chars after i found that Kran is asexual LOL!

Hi.

For the toolbar problem:

 After you\'ve the toolbar visible in-game, try left clicking the double arrow (top left) to see if the window hides/shows correctly.

 When the toolbar is visible try right clicking the same double arrow a few times to test if it changes style correctly. You can select any style you prefer. In some styles you can adjust the toolbar size by mouse dragging the small box in the lower right corner.

 When you quit, the toolbar style and size are saved, so you shouldn\'t need to edit the planeshift.cfg manually again.


For the colour problem:

There was similar problems introduced in this thread http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=18485&boardid=13. I\'ve never experienced such myself, so it may be related to certain hardware component or operating system. You could try the relight option from the setup program. Run PlaneShift updater too, to check if there are any new fixes available. Also be sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. That\'s all I can think of.

Thanks,

[Rage McCloud]

Dude... how many times do i have to say... there is NO arrow... I know it SHOULDNT reset the size but it does that just the problem... i was thinking about how small it was and i looked really closely and saw a tiny little gold dot in the top left corner... it took me a few tries to click it but when i did it came up with a tiny version of the menu... i think i have a screeny of it... and please... dont talk like i dont know anything... i know it should save it but it resets every time to 16x14... and i make it as 400x380 and play then i rejoin and it is reset... so i made a bak file and now it works... so yea problem solved...
