Welcome to Vendetta Online.

Some times, on Windoze, the crate glow remains after the crates are gone:

http://makchuga.itanialliance.com/images/glow.jpg

How are you all capturing the LUA error messages? I tried to select the text with my mouse and that didn't work, nor did F12 do a screen dump.

Screwball, check your "errors.log" file.

or (in windows) press 'Print Screen' and then paste into any decent image editor.
I should make a thing to capture that key and do a screendump.

Or just press ` to bring up the console, then type /wait 5 'dump filename.tga' then press enter, then close the console and wait 5 seconds.

In Gnome thou shalt press Print Screen also.

I just capture it by opening the errors log in my vendetta directory and looking for the lines in question.

Far far easier to use printscreen and then pasting from clipboard to MS Paint. I'm sure the hapless Mac users have a similar mini-app in their OS?

Command-Shift-3 captures the whole screen on a Mac and has done so since System 6. Used to make a PICT file, but now it makes a PDF.
Command-Shift-4 lets you designate an area to capture just in case you don't want the whole screen. In OS X it makes a PDF as well, but you can edit this PDF with most paint/draw programs.

I have SnapzPro and it overrides some of that stuff, also giving me the option of making a movie of the error. SnapzPro = highly recommended.

when activating the map, the chat box is placed immediately in focus, so keystrokes (such as 'n' or 'l' to exit) go straight to chat rather than the interface.

I get the same glow remnant bug as jex

Gotten this error after i restarted the client after my hud just vanished after some troubles with a part of the stationinterface remaining outside of station. And while opening the sectorlist.

tried to add object (5:1361) type (superbus) with huge position:

I timed out, logged back into the station.
Then I tried to type "lol".
5 times.
With 10 second intervals.
And I always got this.
"You must wait 6.8e+003 seconds before sending this type of message."

I timed out in flight, after reconnecting, I recieved feedback of
"You must wait 8.8e+004 seconds before sending this type of message" every time I used channel chat, or msg.

I exited the client and reloaded it.

When I reopened it, it went to front, but wouldn't take window focus. I couldn't get the client UI to take any of my keystrokes to log in, and I couldn't get it out of the front, even by using alt+tab or control+alt+delete. The whole time, bits and pieces of other windows were flickering around through the game login screen. So I had to start mashing Alt+f4 until windows happened across the VO executable and terminated it. It killed EVERYTHING else before it got to it

1) If you play in windowed mode and another program is in front of vendetta while you jump between sectors (or systems), then the background starfield has black streaks and blobs in it. Linux, GeForce 2 (IIRC).

2) The messages "You are entering <system> <sector>" are missing. I'll never remember where I was without them!

The linux background issue is due to a bug in nvidia's opengl driver. There's nothing we can do about it at this time.

Yay, beta5 is out. *lock*
