few visiual problems

[mor2]

i finally returned home and finally had the chance to try the 2.4, as with 2.3 video setting are trial by error   

the worst part is that i can only change setting in the menu but i need to be in battle to know if there is something wrong but there i cannot fix it and need to comeback to the menu and more annoying is that the game reloads after each video setting change, cant we add an accept button to commit all the changes together, instead of draging me through the loading screen dozen times or so.

the biggest problem is the text alignment here on 1680x1050 and as shown on the screenshoot: http://i53.tinypic.com/oqh8w2.jpg
as before there was also the drop ship and all the actors appear black and some other objects getting screwed (making it into a nice borg universe ) but i bet that scaling back on shaders or other setting will probably fix that, one last problem was a weird case when someones hand was was shown before my inventory, it was partially hiding the gun  but i couldn't reproduce the problem.

also here is the ufoconsole.log if needed (btw was it unreadable on the 2.3 version as well or only on the 2.4? notepad couldn't show anything intelligible)

the biggest problem is the text alignment here on 1680x1050 and as shown on the screenshoot

I think you dont use the last version from the repository. This is a know and fixed bug. Maybe you can update your binaries with http://ufoai.ninex.info/snapshots/ (but make a backup).

[mor2]

i seen those in the DL section, but i followed the other link to get the full binaries, which i assumed was the latest compilation.
maybe the download section and the above thread OP should be more clear about this, that in either case you should get both, he full binaries for all the resources and the latest nightly's which works as the latest "patch".

i'll try them and see if there anything new, btw UFOAI look better than ever on my PC and i love the default hud new feature in 2.4

[mor2]

well i just updated to the latest nightly you pointed me too, now the game just "doesnt work", it finishes the loading sequence but instead the menu i get a black screen, the cursor is still there and i hear clicking sound when click but that the extent of it, from here its only end process.

also in this version i think the SDL.dll bug from 2.3 has returned, after alt+tab or ctrl+esc the mouse get stuck in the corner and need to use the keyboard to end the task.

Hello,

also in this version i think the SDL.dll bug from 2.3 has returned, after alt+tab or ctrl+esc the mouse get stuck in the corner and need to use the keyboard to end the task.

Each version of UFO:AI brings its own SDL.dll, so you have to replace the 2.4 with the SDL.dll from the 7z I provided in the well-known thread. Mattn did not put the SDL.dll from the thread to master, I think.

Regards

[bayo]

From the download page:

The community provides binaries, though these binaries are often quickly outdated.

Hard to be more clear.

[mor2]

@mikeg, no problem i'll use the sdl.dll from the 2.3 thread then.

@bayo, not everyone who can test and submit bug reports can understand what binaries and nightly's are but most do understand the concept of full package download and patches.



btw, any ideas on the black screen i get after extracting the new binaries?

[bayo]

It is only binaries, its not a patch. That why, if you dont have the last resources from the master it can or can't work.
