sphyrth Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Everytime I select a player's view, every player's name gets displayed, with the one I selected on the topmost layer. It's not much of an issue unless you want to click the "Follow Player's Actions" Button, which you can't. The display only goes back to normal when I switch to Observer View. I can understand that this bug has gone unnoticed since it doesn't happen on Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Alpha 21? Resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Alpha 21 - 1024 x 768 Windowed Mode. I don't know how far back this bug existed, but it was already there when I was trying out Alpha 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 That follow player thing was added in alpha 20: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Alpha20_Timosthenes#ObserverReplaymode Ah yes, could reproduce it and forgot that bug exists for 1024 :-/ With Alpha 22 the objectives icon was added, now the checkbox is even not clickable anymore because of that. There is a plan to add the options to a new overlay (similar to the gamespeed option), at least the checkbox as the dropdown is very often used. Then we could add more options too like focusing on military events only and potentially focusing on military events of all players. If you have another idea on what to do (hiding the follow player checkbox altogether?), please enlighten me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just now, elexis said: If you have another idea on what to do (hiding the follow player checkbox altogether?), please enlighten me Quite satisfied tsnce it's being addressed. Thanks! But if you want a bit more 1024x768 UI display issues, then that would be the Tech Trees, and sometimes the end-game stats. I'll just throw them out there though I personally don't mind them.

elexis Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Not being addressed until I have an idea on what to do. Hiding the follow player option altogether would be an option, though subideal as it should be accesible on all resolutions. Likely won't get to the spectator overlay soon :-/ Perhaps @Imarok has some magic to apply 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Oh, my bad. I meant that I should be able to click on the Follow Player button. What happened was I selected a player's perspective (Sphyrth in the example). See that "Unassigned Player" text that seems to be a silhouette behind it? That's the bug. I don't think that "Unassigned Player" should be displayed as if it's just behind "Sphyrth". Try that on replays with even more players and all the other player names will be displayed like that as well. Not being able to click on the Follow Button is the another bug that came out of that.

elexis Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I dont think it says "Unassigned player" but it's the label "Follow Player". Agree that people should be able to click on it, but obviously the controls can't be in the same place. Still dunno how to do it exactly without sacrificing usability for the non-minimal resolutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
