console (+ radio command) gfx bug
« on: April 19, 2009, 01:25:55 am »
I got my first gfx error in soldat since a VERY long time.



Error occured randomly when i used voice command and pressed F1 or F2 either just before or right after sending voice command (can't remember the order in which i pressed buttons).  That white space is where the console is supposed to be (when it gets pulled down when you press 'T' to type).
The error stayed until i exited soldat.  I could not read the console at all, I could read what I was typing as I was typing it, but it wouldn't show up above my player (nor anyone else).  Voice command dialog showed up but I could not hear the audio.  All other text (screen message, kill log, interface txt, respawn time) still worked.  The game was still playable.
Can't think of anything original to put here...

The white box is the IRC chat window. You'd probably know this if you tried searching for "white box". Press ` (the button next to 1, generally) to activate/deactivate it.

I THINK I read your post correctly.... :-\

Yup, you are right. It's in-game chat box. When you are typing things there you are sending them to lobby chat.

i Figured IT OUT!
pressing the button next to the non-numpad 1 does it (the one w/ the tilde as shift, otherwise the ` symbol, not to be confused with the regular single quotation mark, ' )
it toggles the console but the console doesn't show correctly, but rather only a white, semitransparent box

I have a spanish keyboard so the keys aren't in the exact same place than in the usual keyboard.

Just look for the tilda/weird-inverted-apostrophe-or-whatever-it's-called (`) key, Niko. It'll be that.
