Agret Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hey guys i've just downloaded your first RC and i've noticed some problems. 1) The game won't alt+tab. You have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL and get into task manager then right click it and choose minimize and if you don't do it fast enough it still takes over the screen on top of task manager. Try and fix this in the next release. 2) First time I used the server browser it loaded up the list of servers but didn't get the names or the playercount and every server said timeout. I clicked refresh and it got the names and I went on a server, after that I can't get it to load the names & playercount or connect to any servers again. Try and make the serverlist more responsive. 3) Map editor doesn't have correct controls, pressing A or D will actually turn the view instead of sidestepping it I'm suprised that bug didn't get found during your testing because I don't think the arrow keys will move the editor at all? Ah well, good work on this release and I can't wait for the deathmatch release. Link to comment

Its not a problem, it was added so people couldn't minimize the game, and avoid getting shot or sumat, i think they had something to keep the game running when u minimized it, but it caused problems 3) Map editor doesn't have correct controls, pressing A or D will actually turn the view instead of sidestepping it I'm suprised that bug didn't get found during your testing because I don't think the arrow keys will move the editor at all? I'm sure they know, and this is how its supposed to be Link to comment
orappa Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hey guys i've just downloaded your first RC and i've noticed some problems.1) The game won't alt+tab. You have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL and get into task manager then right click it and choose minimize and if you don't do it fast enough it still takes over the screen on top of task manager. Try and fix this in the next release. This was deliberate because unlike, MTA 0.5 which runs as a separate program, MTA:SA runs as a DLL injected in the game. When you minimise / alt+tab, the game pauses automatically, as does MTA:SA. This means that when you maximise again, you get hit with a lot of packets at once, which at the very best causes strange results and the worst causes a crash. 3) Map editor doesn't have correct controls, pressing A or D will actually turn the view instead of sidestepping it I'm suprised that bug didn't get found during your testing because I don't think the arrow keys will move the editor at all? Believe me, the QA team brought up every little thing possible. Some were postponed for a later release though. Link to comment
Agret Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Mm thats interesting that the game pauses when you alt+tab, could you incorperate the code for running the game windowed into your DLL please? As for the game pausing there is a memory address you can set that stops it from pausing when alt+tabbed, seeing as how you guys have direct hook on the engine it shouldn't be too hard to implement but hey you guys are the pro's and maybe im wrong.

darkdreamingdan Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The race mod controls are pretty mcuh as best as they can be. The whol 'no strafing' issue has been broguht up, but the team found it too much of a difficult task to implement strafing Link to comment
