Message Windows

[madmaniacal1]

Well, the cursor works fine in the Computer version of FT v7
At least as far as running in Linux anyway. Can't speak for Windows or iOS

=-=-= Another bug with Message Windows =-=-=

If there is a "space" in the persons name.

/msg Cosair Hello

Cosair sees an envelope, opens it and sees:

Code: Select all

Swift Wolf: Hello

hits check and sees:

Code: Select all

/msg Swift Wolf

types in Hi back:

Code: Select all

/msg Swift Wolf Hi back

ENTER

Game thinks Corsair sent a /msg to "Swift"

Code: Select all

Wolf Hi back

OOPS!

Modify the return message to "/msg Swift+Wolf" to get the correct recipient. I'll ask comp to check this out, but in the meantime, this might help.

How do you guys know all of this stuff?

I remembered how player+names work from using commands back before i lost GM. Little things learned along the way can make a difference later, at least until my forgetter catches up to me. Lol

That's very true. I still remember about the = symbol to make the shoulder tab work correctly lol.

Well:

1. read about it in a post at one time
   • wrote it down in FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
2. saw a msg ingame
   • added it to FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
3. read it in mchat
   • added it to FT-tips-n-tricks.txt

NOW: if only I could remember where FT-tips-n-tricks.txt is

______________________________
It's a BIG lie, I have no FT-tips-n-tricks.txt file but I should have with my forgetter.

Lol I meant spoiler tab.

That is definitely on the odd side. Like why can't the cursor be in the "ready to type" position after the /msg Name part?

It is fixed now in new beta 7.5.1
