48.6e - can't sell stuff to buildings (fixed 0.48.7)

Post by zaroba »

seems to bre a bug with 48.6e with sellign stuff.

no clue how many others have seen it or if they have it, but i know a few have.

when trying to sell stuff to a building no matter what your trying to sell, it will always select the top item in the list. even if you don't have any of that item. makes it impossible to sell stuff.

ah.. a side effect of me having to rewrite some of the list screens to cope with em poppin up, rather than down.. should be fixed in the 0.48.6f beta
I've checked most of em, but there may be a chance other screens at the bottom right have gone wonky in similar ways.. if any of ya can give it a good thorough testing itd be appreciated.

Mmk...All sorts of menu related things ahead: (Using latest 48.6f beta patch)
(Edit: I think zaroba is talking about the one here in bold)

If the first item isn't buyable (ala priced at 0s,not out of stock) then you cannot buy anything,even if there is an item buyable on the list.

While in your house if you press esc you'll get stuck in the menus untill you leave the planet. (unless you use the mouse to make yourself unstuck)

While returning to the world (if you left in your house) and that hunger and thirst/news/etc window pops up,you'll be forced into your inside your home menu and stuck. (unless you use your mouse!) A varient is that you get forced into inside your home menu but not stuck menus.

Using Rename has the old and new menu displayed (old one is blank inside at the topright of the screen) I noticed that if you got forced into your home and left it then rename,odditys insure that the old menu disapears unless you press esc,open the menu again then choose rename. (or maybe it was going to another building that triggered it?)

In the construction menu you can only select plant trees with the mouse,not with your keyboard.
Note to this: You can select it even though it isn't highlighted.

Nothing in help menu works.

Selecting read mail then anything else in the player menu causes the menu to close (but open what was clicked on)

While sending mail cancel doesnt work.

Player list no longer minimizes.

Build orinmental doesn't work (then again,I haven't seen a world actualy use this)

Under help menu clicking too many things quicky (or requesting too many things) causes the game to crash.


Urgh,I understand that some of the things I listed might actualy work but brake when you do an event.
It has to do if you use the keyboard or the mouse,did a certin event event or a series of combinations. Eventualy once you start going through menus things start to brake. (player list and the help menu are perfect examples of this)
Since I'm not a coder I dunno what would be the best things to do to fix it...I'd did my best.
(BTW I checked space menus for completeness,tis fine. For now using the mouse would be best to avoid menu freezeups with the keyboard...)

Thanks for the list kirb..
If the first item isn't buyable (ala priced at 0s,not out of stock) then you cannot buy anything,even if there is an item buyable on the list.
This i just tried and it worked fine - tried all combinations of things not selling, stocked, unstocked etc etc.. Any particular world or building this demonstratable on?
While in your house if you press esc you'll get stuck in the menus untill you leave
the planet. (unless you use the mouse to make yourself unstuck)
While returning to the world (if you left in your house) and that hunger and thirst/news/etc window pops up,you'll be forced into your inside your home menu and stuck. (unless you use your mouse!) A varient is that you get forced into inside your home menu but not stuck menus.
When u esc (or entering the world and passing thru welcome screens), its setting the focus to the player list (so page up/page dn would affect that instead, rather than the action list).. it isnt clear how ur supposed to get back from that (END), so i've added text to make that obvious in 0.48.7
Using Rename has the old and new menu displayed
Fixed 0.48.7
In the construction menu you can only select plant trees with the mouse,not with your keyboard.
Removed 0.48.7
Player list no longer minimizes.
u mean when u click the 'player list' button? mm.. works fine for me.. cant think why that would have changed..
Build orinmental doesn't work (then again,I haven't seen a world actualy use this)
The option works for me.. but it wouldnt do anything if you didnt have access to any ornamental buildings on the world ur on. I've made the option appear only for sysops in the 48.7 (and also taken all the other stuff off the construction menu, unless the settings specifically allow 'player landscaping'

rest of the stuff'll be done in a bit..
