DrawText alpha issue + 72 chr limit

[DorkeyDear]

It seems that the alpha loops back over to 100% after it reaches 0% if it it starts lower than 100%.

Code: [Select]

DrawText(0,'TEXT TEST',280,$7FFFFFFF,0.2,8,300);
I also created a command that draws to a person's screen what you put in the command, and once I reached the 72nd character, error messages came popping up and was needed to control+alt+delete to close out Soldat.

The solution is simple, don't draw things that long.

That's the maximum amount of text a person can type in-game... probably some Soldat limitation.

Date Posted: June 11, 2007, 02:35:58 AMbtw... did this amount changed from 75 to 72 when changing from 2.5.x -> 2.6.0, or is this some misconception of mine?

[DorkeyDear]

I could have miscounted... It may still be 75.
How-a-bout the alpha thing enesce, is there going to be a fix in the next version?

The alpha thing might have nothing to do with the server, you know. I think that's hard coded in the game, and it doesn't cover the possibility that the text starts with some transparency.

Shall I post this under the Game Improvements / Suggestions catigory then?

No, the alpha thing is a client bug.
