Title: missing text buffer
Post by: Mystic2 on October 11, 2016, 05:57:16 PM

After this last patch, I have lost my text buffer.  Any ideas?  I tried in the tower, and on the runway... no text.

change fov to 80 then move to center.  change it to whatever you want then move boxes back.

deleteing the file filter.cfg in you settings folder will fix your issue,but please post it here before you delete it so I can figure out why.

Lets play spot the bug.



void wnMoveWindowOnScreen(wnWINDOW * Wnd)
{
grRECT Rect;
grRECT ScreenRect;

   wnGetUsableDeskTopRect(&ScreenRect);
   wnGetWindowRect(Wnd, &Rect);
   grMoveCropRectBotomLeft(&Rect, &ScreenRect);
   wnMoveWindow(Wnd, Rect.Left, Rect.Right, grRECT_WIDTH(Rect), grRECT_HEIGHT(Rect), 1);
}

Don't know anything about coding, but something about spelling: Botom?

I wonder who will be at the top of the list to get this answer right.

Rect.left and rect.right seem like odd parameters for the wnMoveWindow function.  Guessing it should be:

wnMoveWindow(Wnd, Rect.Left, Rect.Top, grRECT_WIDTH(Rect), grRECT_HEIGHT(Rect), 1);

I found "the bug" he flies with JG11....... :devil


  Oh you meant a game bug...... same thing IMHO..... :rofl



     :salute


 Patch 3.5 seemed to default to DX11 when the game asks "would you like to run AH now" if you click yes it will load DX11 even if you started the game in DX9!

The patcher starts DX11 if the operating system is not Windows XP, no matter what is linked on the desktop.

We will change it to start DX9, and add the text to the question so you know it is going to start the DX9 version.
