Server Tags / Wiki Transparency

innerlyte · #1 05-22-2009, 12:45 AM

I wanted to report a couple issues I've run across lately.

Server tags have not been saving across sessions, so each time I log in, I have to retag favorite servers. This isn't much of an issue now, since there aren't too many servers but could be a problem in the future. I'm running Windows XP.

In terms of the game wiki, image transparency handling doesn't seem to work in IE 6. I'm guessing it may be an issue with the CSS file. Firefox seems okay.

arg i hate bill sometimes. I added the magical IE5/6 hack to make pngs render properly... only for the altitude skin though... other skins are on their own o_O.

updated the file saving code for tagged servers. hopefully you wont have a problem anymore.

o_O perk pages were broken after ie6 PNG fixer:

{|
|-

|
This perk increases your plane's maximum energy.
|}

removing those {|} thingy majigs fixes it duno what that crap does so i deleted them.

The | dividers are part of the code for tables. Deleting them has nothing to do with the png problem.

Looks like most of the transparency issues have been resolved, except for a few pages around the navi banner and title tab (eg, the main page, TBD play strategies, FFA play strategies...).

The server tagging system still doesn't want to work for me though.

o_O try hitting ctrl+f5 in IE6. I tested on IE6 and it worked

this wont be fixed until next patch sorry didnt make that clear.

oh also the file is saved to C:\Program Files\Altitude\config\tagged_servers.xml maybe check and make sure it isnt read only or something o_O. The way it works right now is it saves in a separate thread so it still should save it just if you kill the game while it's saving it will be messed up.

Sorry, wasn't thinking about the update patch. My XML file looks okay though otherwise

Not sure if you guys were able to get this in the most recent patch, but I'm still not able to save server tags across sessions. Is anyone else having this problem?

Looks like we missed it; this should be fixed in the next patch.

Side note: I changed the format so everyone will lose their tagged servers next patch. Server counts are low enough that I figure this shouldn't be a big deal (yet), but just so you know...
