Jacob's1 Mod Problem

    Firstly, (for Jacob's1 Mod) the bars on the right and bottom look different, and I don’t really like it. Is there a way to revert to the old set up? Or download a previous version?

     

    Secondly, how do I check what version I'm playing now is?

     

    Thirdly, there seems to be a bug with the bottom bar (it use to be

    on the ‘J’ tab) where, when you try to click an element, you accidently click the element next to the element you actually clicked on (basically, the bar is too ‘click’ sensitive).

     

    And as a suggestion for Jacob1, could you please add an option to remove the bottom bar altogether?

    What don't you like about the bar on the bottom? Most people like it better. Eventually all the buttons will look like that. I'm not going to add an option to somehow revert to the old look, since I already rewrote all the buttons. But if there is something specific that annoys you like how they change color slightly on mouseover, I could maybe write an option to turn that off eventually ....

    Press f1 to check what version you are using. You can also use Lua: tpt.version.jacob1s_mod / tpt.version.jacob1s_mod_minor / tpt.version.jacob1s_mod_build / tpt.version.jacob1s_mod_save

    I can't reproduce that favorite's menu bug at all. In the latest version of the mod (32.2), the elements are selected on mousedown. In 32.0 they were selected on mouseup but people complained they were too hard to select so I changed it.

    Also what would the point of removing the bottom bar altogether be? You wouldn't be able to do a lot of things. Also there would be a large empty space.

    1) Ok, that’s fine, I think I can bear it.

     

    More specifically, though, I don’t like the fact that when you hover you’re mouse over an element tab, the whole tab opens across the black screen (where you place the elements) and seems a little intrusive, which is why I liked the old set-up where the tab opened at the bottom, and separated from the black screen.

     

    2) thank you for that

     

    3) That seems to explain it. I think the bug is where the elements are selected by BOTH mouseup and mousedown, making the selection extremely sensitive and almost impossible.

     

    Let me explain it in more detail:

     

    Say, on the bottom bar, there are three options (Fire, Nitro and Water, for example).

     

    If I click on "Nitro", the bar is so sensitive that it will instead select "Water" next to it.

     

    I have to click "Nitro" extremely quickly for it to select properly.

     

    Furthermore, if I try to click another button like the "More" button, it's so sensitive that it will also click the "Back" button in milliseconds afterwards.

     

    I also found another bug where the "STK2" element keeps copying itself over other elements when I try to select them (I've captured a pic of it here: http://postimg.org/image/c89swb2c7/ )

     

    I’m using 32.2 BTW

    1) It sounds like you might have accidentally pressed 'o'. Press it again to return everything to normal. It even says this in game every time you go into a menusection, *AND* when you initially activate it, i'm not sure how people miss this :|. Eventually i'll remove the key shortcut when there is a better way to activate it.

    3) No, elements are only selected by mousedown right now. What I said was that in 32.0 they were selected by a mousedown followed by a mouseup (has to be both), now they are instead selected only by mousedown (and immediately). This makes it easier to select them.

    Anyway, I pressed 'o' to get into the weird interface you are using and now I can reproduce it. It is definitely a bug, but pressing 'o' will both fix it and get you back to the interface you are used to.

    About STK2: The favorites menu is really buggy, sorry. I wrote it back in version 1.0, 4 years ago ... I just haven't had enough time to rewrite it to prevent duplicates.

    When 32.3 comes out i'll make sure it fixes the alternate interface and i'll also move the text that says "Press 'o' to return to the original menu" to right above the elements. After that, if you still miss all the text telling you to press o then I don't know what to do >_>
