POSTED this in the wrong thread


V-I something went really bad tonight, then i leaped into the handbasket and then went at post-warp speeds to h...


logged in and was attempting to change profile from DI to col. which is way up the list of profiles, clicked to scroll up arrow and message box closed. tried this several times couldn't scroll up or down and attempting to do so only closed the whole VT window box.


being totally peeved and in a rush brought up add/remove programs to remove the new stuff and only item listed was Vtank none of that new stuff. so i looked at the sub directories for a remove and didn't see one (wasn't there or i MISSSED it) for the stuff added by the beta test msi. so i nuc'ed the sub folders and nuc'ed all but v-t's registery keys.


started up ac tried to log in and kept failing, acclient was failing for some reason (post stress process maybe a reboot at that point may have helped). shut down decal and could get in. i then removed decal and every plugin, reinstalled going back to VT 3.0.23 and not the prerelease 3.0.25.


so back to vt 23 and all seems to be working again.


AND, when i registered on the website during the install there was some comment about xxx messages in yyy folders but the topic index listed nothing in the way of messages/threads/folders.


thus i had no clue as to where to dump the above info except here.


WHICH the here was the wrong thread, Vt .023


so is there an un-install in the new stuff? and what was that issue with the menu/scroll or was that just some glitch of the comptuer running last 2 days and needed a reboot clear a lot of junk out?

noticed an issue that it will not let me save new profile names.

Yes. It still has some issues, though...for one, everything is drawn at once. Ideally I want a way to turn off dungeon levels. Also, the assignment of dungeon templates to images for the map is manual, so I don't have every one set yet. Also, right now, objects (portals, etc) are all just thrown on top rather than having any idea of Z.





There is no proper uninstaller, however, you can uninstall by deleting the files from where you installed them (program files\virindiplugins or games\virindiplugins by default, depending on if you are running vista), then click each one in Decal and click remove.

The thing you are talking about is a known problem, the scrollbar in comboboxes is broken at the moment. BUT, you can scroll with the mouse wheel.





Updated VTank on the system to fix that last night, should work now. Let it update and give it a try.

Drop down is known issue? known where i didn't see it. and the forum page when i logged-in/resigstered to use the beta the page displayed message about something on the order of 46 posting but the index took/displayed 0 messages/postings.


and now i don't even recall where tht page was so i can't post there, so now i'm confused.

Known as in I know I have to fix it

The real point of calling this 'beta' is that if people have problems they should ask me, because I know I haven't worked everything out yet

i was, BUT i posted to the wrong thread and for a few days the posting went unnoticed.


the phrase KNOWN was misleading at first. I'd not heard of it and was questioning where i could find out about it or other known issues so i don't bring up/rehash known issues. As mentioned that forum for the beta that i saw ONCE during the registration, listed messages posted but the index option listed NOTHING posted.


SO i had nowhere to go check verify was a 'known' problem. Also i can't seem to find, get back to that forum. Was it reachable by/thru the beta software while IG or it is so hidden we get there once (registration) and never again?

Is there any way you can disable the map being turned on automatically once you sign into integrator or something, because when I sign into integrator and the map icon appears my FPS drops from 300ish to 60. That is without having the map window open. I love integrator but the map is killing my FPS, so it's pretty hard to log on more than one account with the map on.

I'll look at the map being a framerate hog tonight. If I can't make it a lot better I'll make it so you can turn it off.

Edit: For a quick fix I am going to make the map only draw when it is not minimized. That should help you until I can make it draw faster.

In the meantime, here's a look at what I've been working on today, coming soon in an update near you:

http://www.virindi.net/junk/pack1.png

-Closeable windows
-Resizeable windows (currently browser, map and conversation)
-Listing in the channel window of where your allies are (eg, "Eastham"
-"Bar" moved down a bit so the Decal bar doesn't cover it up by default





Send me a PM if you have issues


Edit: Update posted.

OK, what i didn't wnat was to 'bother you' if there were/was a place i could see yokelxyz had reported issue 2. i wouldn't have to send you the 15th email on issue 2.


but i love that 'you've got mail' feeling hoping one of these days it will be from meg ryan (just joking, I will never have anything to do with America OFF Line).

New addition to the bundle tonight: the ability to change the color and displayed window for chatbox text, for both normal AC messages and messages from selected plugins. This feature is handled by a new plugin in the bundle called VCS5. If you already are running the bundle, simply rerun the installer to get it.

Currently VI2 and AC messages are handled by VCS5, but an update to the bundle version of VTank to make it play nicely will be coming shortly.
