Title: briefing scrolling problem
Post by: Klaustrophobia on October 03, 2011, 09:52:38 pm

In some of the command breifs and mission briefs, I'm having a problem where I'm unable to scroll all the way to the end.  The red 'more' will stay on the screen even when the scroll down button dings and won't go any further.  Sometimes it seems like the text is actually done but the 'more' just doesn't go away, but I know in at least two cases some of the text was cut off.  Probably more than that, but it's been so long since I last played that I simply cannot remember.  I don't know for sure that this is a BP specific problem, but so far I haven't detected it in the other mods I've played since my return (those being fs2 w/ mediavps, fsport, STR, and AoA).  Also, probably unrelated, the mission dialogue is ever so slightly cut off on the left side and top.  Trivial, just noting this in case there is a known solution for it.  I thought it was my widescreen resolution doing it, but changing back to a 4:3 didn't fix it. 

Using nightly 7776.  Would a log help?

Try increasing your resolution. This is a known issue (as far as I know), I've encountered it first in TBP (was still playing at low res at the time).
Command Briefings, IIRC, don't usually scroll.

Somebody once posted a couple of files that fixed this, but I don't recall where.

I'm having this issue too (at least up till Nightly 7786), and it isn't BP-specific (just that BP has long enough briefings to scroll). So I suggest this thread be moved to the SCP board, and someone Mantis it if that hasn't been done yet. Tech room scrolling does seem work properly, by the way.

I had this issue when I first converted the Franklin Gothic font for FotG.  The E asked if he could use that font for BP, and fixed the scrolling problem in the mission briefings.  I think Command briefings still had a bit of a problem though, especially on lower resolutions.

Command breifings still cut off text on maximum resolution with the default font >.>
Regular mission brieifings don't though.
