Popup menus disappear

Post by Ruphies » 17 Dec 2014, 00:17

So after the update I noticed certain popups vanish that do not have the check block to not display again. I can do this by inspecting trees. If I inspect a tree I will get the first info popup but every tree after goes right to the system chat tab. Also once this happens I no longer get the confirmation to exit the game or any of the "yes, no" popups.

Thanks in advance for any help with this problem.


Specs

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB
Display NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti

I have been trying to figure out how to get rid of those annoying pop ups since I started playing.

My favourite one is the first ti,e you get hit by sometching in a fight and it locks you out of fighting for a few seconds while you deal with it.
It does not matter who is the strongest fighter, just the last one standing.

But you need the ones that say yes and no. Would you like to deconstruct? Would you like to exit?

Ok those message pop ups I can see as being a problem if they are not appearing then.

Just loaded the game for the first time today and like most people after 30 seconds disabled the popup msg for snapping branches and gathering plant fibers but now I have the same issue, I can't get out of the game without crashing it. The prompt comes up in the system chat window but I can't answer or affect it.

Open the command console and type debug in it. That will send a report into the Devs at least.

These messages that don't have a checkbox will dissapear if you press "ENTER". They will only be visible in system chat box. If you click ok with a mouse they will pop up again.

It would be great if we could set all those msg on or off right from the beggining.
I mainly drop them to the system chat box and i have it dragged away from other chat windows to see it always. So that's the solution I can give you that worked for me.

This is the bug. Once they are gone they are gone. I have to ctrl alt del my game to exit. there is nothing to click to get them back. I cannot exit the game nor deconstruct.

What other yes no options are there? I can test those too.

Had the exit menu disappear on me last night.

If you open the console you can exit the game.

Press ctrl+ ~ and type debug or quit. Either one sends a report in.

/edit. Posted a link to this thread on the mantis in a bug report.

Having same issue.. Exiting the game is not really a problem.. using the console or Task Manager to get out is a fix. The lack of Deconstruct is another issue.. that has no work around.

This is happening to me with the pop that warns me about alignment drop when looting knocked out / dead players. This is game breaking for me if I can't get that pop up back. Does anyone know a workaround? The message shows up in system chat. Anyway shortcut key to press that will confirm my decision to loot the corpse?

The deconstruct popup missing is something I just learned to live without. Now I just keep my task manager open on my other monitor to close the game when I want to exit.



Whatever its alpha. As long as they know about the problem.

If the confirm exit does not appear, just enter console mode and type debug or quit.

Debug and quit both send a report in, which is a good thing for us with the pop ups disappearing.

So basically until devs update I will never be able to loot a knocked out / dead player? If so, that is totally game breaking... That can't take that much code compared to some other non-game breaking things they're working on.

I would not worry about looting people at this point, and they have a lot on their plate ATM. With all of the other things they are working on besides pop up windows not popping up.

Seeing as it already worked its not like they are making a new feature. I'm sure they will fix this. It's a little silly to not fix things as you go. We already have Mortal Online for that.

Guys I figured it out!!!! In LIF game files there is a file called skip_messages. If you open it in Notepad and delete out all of the lines with numbers the messages will be reset! Gamesaving for me. Wish a dev could have told me but I can loot now!!

some of the ID's in skip_messages.xml

<message_list>
<id>688</id> Start screen/welcome message
<id>11</id> Overburdened
<id>42</id> Recieved item
<id>726</id> Skill changes
<id>32</id> Didnt find any signs of ore
<id>44</id> you failed to find anything
<id>20</id> Need proper tool
<id>29</id> Failed to find tracks - aggressive
</message_list>

Rest can be found in cm_messages.xml

Remove "<id>688</id>" in your file if quit/deconstruct dosen work.

!!!! research into the bug !!!!
When inspecting a tree, don't close message by clicking the X, this triggers the bug. Bug because nothing is altered in the xml file.

Game restart resets bug
For now we have to live with the inspect message window

!!!! more research !!!!
for some recent the inspect message can't be suppressed, still popup with no check box for suppress message to system window. Adding ID 22 to skipped messages dosen't effect it either.
