Text buffer / tilde key - max 3 lines
« on: March 19, 2008, 05:20:07 PM »
Starting with the last update, and continuing with today's, I am no longer able to expand the text buffer to 16 lines.  I checked key mapping, and it's okay.  Anybody else see this? :huh

Hey Panzerr I also have the same problem. I have had it for a while and can't figure it out. I chalked it up to a Laptop problem.  :(

When you say it's mapped, what AH item is mapped?  Have you tried mapping it to a different key and seeing if that works?

Hi Pyro -

The original AH mapping uses the tilde key to expand the text buffer.  I unmapped and remapped the tilde key, and tried mapping the expand function to a different key, then remapped to the original tilde key.  None of these variations expanded the text buffer.

Tell me the name of the function that you're mapping.

Pyro - To answer more accurately, "Message Window Size" is the AH function name which is supposed to be mapped to the tilde key.
Thanks - Panzerr

Try going into your Aces High II folder and rename your "settings" folder to "oldsettiings".  This will take you back to a default installation and that will tell us whether it's some inherent problem that's surfaced or just a configuration issue.

Okay - so I'll be a couple minutes late....
I renamed the folder and reloaded AH.  Same thing - no message window size expansion - still 3 lines max.  Now I really have to go!
Thanks again :aok
