I always thought thats a cool feature (me too => raybondo too). Can we have that back?

I don't know. You'll have to ask incarnate because he asked me to remove that feature.

I figured out the white npc bug and blacklight's wrongly sized damage indicator.
I think I figured out the money not updating in HUD problem, too.

I'm indifferent about the login screen (though I think it would look better scaled), but credits/cargo/ship/location really needs to scale as well for usability. At 1600x1200 it's a really big, mostly empty, box with a few stings of illegable text in the upper left corner.

Also, the color picker needs to scale ont eh ship purchase screen.

Ah alright, gotcha ray. And thanks for clarifying

Also a part of the white NPCs issue... Red Group Members:

Also note, in this shot, his damage indicator is not lit; sometimes the damage indicator will be lit when they appear red on radar though, so the two bugs seem to be unrelated.

And yes, I really hate mouse-scrolling to see all of someone's charinfo when I target them - usually, when you're checking that, you want the information fast and in-a-glance.

And I don't know if this is a bug, or an oversight, but you do not see the faint echo of the mission computer when the main chat is in focus, or vice versa - this means that if you're watching your group's chat (or the main channel, your kills, or even your settings, such as F-A/AA on/off, etc...) you cannot see the status of your mission (are we done yet? which bots do I need to kill? did I get a bonus?) and when you're watching the mission computer, you cannot see anything that's going on of the former.

And we still don't have chat while jumping D=

The smoke from your ship (isn't it a bit thick, when you can't see where you're going? and why isn't it left behind when you accelerate?) disappears after you leave the sector you're in.

Also, the smoke causes MAJOR FPS issues with my graphics rendering... the more damaged I get, the more my framerate drops, and the harder it is to fight. If it drops low enough, my computer seems to lock up other tasks (such as maintaining an internet connection) while attempting to render, and bad things happen (lag, fall out of game, etc...)

There's some sort of sound clash with Windows mediaplayer in the background, but I sincerely doubt the problem is on the end of the VO client and not PoS mediaplayer... it causes the sound to cut out aside from a weird popping crackle for a few to several seconds while tracks switch, during which time the framerate also drops.

These errors in the chat screen keep appearing from time to time:

Andreas: Does your 1Ghz Powerbook have a 64MB GeForce Go 5200? Or what sort of video chipset? I tested our 64MB settings on our 1.8Ghz G5 w/64MB 5200, and it worked ok.. but if texture compression wasn't supported on the chipset, then it might not work so well. You were using the default "High" 64MB settings, right?

Dihelical: What kind of computer/videocard do you have? I've never seen smoke be an issue on any machine from.. well, this millennium. I checked your account info, but it seems you didn't fill out the area on your computer config (this being the reason why we ask for it).

Three issues with VO beta 5 for Mac.

TUNG CAPPY AGGRESSO!!!!

From within the cappy, my screen displayed my Aggresso docked inside the cappy.

(images were cropped from an in-window view on a larger display so sizes may differ).

STAR WARS DEATH STAR CAPPY!!!!!

Hollow cappy (under construction??) from various turrets:

SPACE SPOON!!!!!!!!!

I suppose this is something within a turret? I have no clue.

It's a windows lappy... and I have no idea what they put in it. I have 502 MB of available RAM, so I'm assuming whatever it is, it uses shared memory.

Incarnate: meh, I am stupid. I have 32MB VRAM. I used the default setting and I saw trashing. Reducing the background settings helped immediately. I don't think my chipset+driver support compression.

a combat level 1 character with the 25 PK badge is able to buy any battery (light through fast charge) in Sedina D-14 (i think anyway, it's the one with the ice 'roid). i didn't check to see if this held true for any other stations and/or factions.

PS: not sure if this is client related, or just due to some mechanic i am unaware of. nor did i check to see if this had been pointed out before.

Couple issues to address here.
1. I had an interesting issue when attempting to map my joystick buttons before logon where the Nav computer came up at the login screen. This was caused by attempting to remap the button after I messed up where I wanted it. This caused the client to freak out, generate an error that I couldn't copy, and I had to (sorry, Windows user here) Alt+F4 out of the client. I tried to take a screenshot with FRAPS, but that caused my computer to go into standby. No clue on what caused that but my monitor lost signal. It was interesting.

2. I use dual Saitek Cyborg evo joysticks and every time I log on (Production Client and Betas 2, 3, and 5) I have to remap one of the sticks. It's also random which one I have to remap since one will copy over to the other (left to right or vice versa). Running Windows, I can't find a way to get the OS to rename the sticks so I don't know if there's anything I can do on my end to remedy this.

I believe that's all for now. Sorry for the essays.

Prehaps we could have scalability as a toggle option? Personally the vendetta interface was fine without it, the scalability really just screwed up a bunch of what were previously, pretty screens. An example of this would be the character info screen which once had info nicely layed out, however in beta its all scrunched up into a small text box, and the once previously nice faction bars look like absolute junk when being scaled.

I'd have to call this a downgrade from beta4 in terms of looks, however it is more stable than its predecessor. The Text in Beta 5 is just to large and thined out, kinda like a slim bold effect.

Edit: yay! I made a signature... now only if the vendetta forums would allow them.

I get hurt for ramming those of the same nation...as I've said before on other reports. If you've responded to this on other threads I must of missed it. So is this a new feature or a bug?

fooz, it's a bug.
Do the others of the same nation show up green on your radar?

Having been on the receiving end of fooz's ramming antics, I must sat I see him green; I suspect he does as well.

mgl_mouser, could you just link to the grpahics instead of displaying them in the thread, please?

Sorry for Re-posting but I didn't get any answers, if players know how to do they can help me as well:

Got a "SetVideo Mode Failed Line 34" thing in my error log.

build 8G32
MacOS version 1044
This is a Power Macintosh with a processor that I am unaware of: 0x0000013c
Hardware: (18 100:PPC 970) PowerMac12,1 @ 1899 MHz, 1024 MB
[Sat Feb 11 12:18:02 2006] SetVideoMode failed, line 34
Fatal Error: Couldn't open window.

Is there a way that I could set it myself?

Its not the first time it happens...
I couldn't open client 1, 3 and 5
But 2 and 4 worked fine.

GRAIG, are you copying over your old config.ini and wgaf.cfg? Or just starting the client up alone? Just in case you aren't.. try re-downloading the zipfile, and unzip the entire thing (the internal vendetta_beta5 directory) onto your desktop. Then go into that vendetta_beta5 directory and run the game. If it doesn't successfully start up, and you can't get it to work (it says the same can't open window thing) then please post what kind of videocard you have (about this mac -> more info -> video, or some such).
