Another complaint on v1.91

[Ruatha]

Why can't I mark and copy Messages sent to me anymore.
In 1.84 it was excellent to copy them and paste them into the return message and history notepad documents.
Now I can't mark the Messages I receive anymore.
Is it just me or is it general? And what is the reasoning behind?

still seems to be workin for me...

I have been keeping notes in a separate file anyway. That way if I'm inclined to keep track of player personalities, i.e. strategies, betrayals, etc, the notes survive after the game is over.

Works for me too.

Still works for me.

I just had a similar problem, highlighted message, copied it then it would not paste into my reply message. Then went back to original message - highlighted it, copied it but then made sure the message was not highlighted still. It would then paste http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Well, from all answers it must be something I've overlooked.
Will see next time I start 1.91 if I do something different from when I start 1.84 ?

I don't get it!!
In 1.84 everything works ok.
In v 1.91 I've sofar only reveived Messages from on eplayer but these don't work properly!
I can't mark them.
I can't scroll down in them so I can't see the entire message either!!!

I don't know what to do.
v 1.84 still works perfect as usual in thos egames I'm still playing.

Look at your 1.91 settings.txt file. The second line. What does it say?

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">Use Old Log Political Message Display := </pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It will be set to either True or False.

Does it match what you have in your 1.84 settings.txt file? If not change your 1.91 settings file to match.

Did "Use Old Log Political Message Display" in settings.txt get set to true somehow?

EDIT: Aww, Geo beat me.

Also, keep in mind if this is a mod you need to check the settings file in the mod/data folder.

Yes, it sounds like it's been set to TRUE. Maybe it defaults to true for a clean install? I don't really know for sure. But changing it to FALSE should fix your problem.

Edit: for spelling. Setting it to "FLASE" probably would not help at all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Bingo.

Thanks again Geo.

It's strange though, as I just copied the folder and applied the patch to that.
Still, that problem is history now.
