Author Topic: missing 1  (Read 2473 times)

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

Hello, I´m new on the board so please forgive me if this topic was already discussed.

Since the release of Act 3 of Blue Planet and the changes on the cockpit I cannot see the number "1" anymore in my HUD. It´s simply missing like: 2115m => 2  5m. Because of this I´m unable to tell whether a target is 1500m or 500m away or if I have 12 or 2 missiles left.

Does anyone knows about this issue? It´s only in "WiH" not in "AoA", so I assume it has something to do with the new HUD. I also got the same bug in "Diaspora" where a new kind of HUD is in place.

Huh, this is weird.

Can you provide a screenshot? Just press the Print Screen button during gameplay, then go to the "screenshots" folder in the game directory, and convert it to png or something, then upload it here.

I've run into a similar issue myself when using custom fonts. Are you perhaps using a custom font you've created yourself?

I´m still trying to make a Sceenshot but I only get a "tba"-file which I´m unable to open. But I keep trying.
As I described it above: Numbers like 3110 become 3__0 or 1500 become _500.

I haven´t change anything in the game. I just installed it as described in the BP Act 3 installation post. But I thought about it. Could the problem somehow be resulted from the fact that I do not have the English but the German version of the game (Because german letters like "ä", "ö" or "ü" are also missing).

You should be getting a TGA file when you take a screenshot. It can be converted online to a jpg or png; just google "tga to jpg/png," and then upload the file here.

Or just use a program like irfanview or paint.net.

Ok I got it.

The Javelins / Hellfires are only shown as 6 / 60 but have to be 16 / 160. Meridians speed reads 5 instead of 15 and her range is 3114m.

O and I almoust forgot - the arrows are also missing so I can´t tell from the lower right box which guns and missiles are selected and whether they are in single or double firing mode.

Well, I can't replicate this...

Please search your fs2 folder for any files with the .vf file type, and delete them.

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

strangest of bugs...

Aren't these fonts the same as the standard ones in the rest of the hud? They seem the same. If so, you also have things like "100%" appearing. That would indicate the problem isn't with the font file.... however if the fonts are not the same, then that would be the clue.

It seems you're playing a German version of FS. That might be part of the problem here.

Ok, here it is. I hope you can get something out of it.

Strangely, when I run the mission with the Debug-Build I get several warnings which never occurred before.

You do not have the MVP Patches. Please follow the instructions in this thread.

I  download all MediaVP files again incuding the updates and put them into my "/FreeSpace2/mediavps_3612" folder. As described I add the update files to the already existing ones. I also added "MV_RadarIcons.vp", "MV_CB_ANI_1.pv" and  "MV_CB_ANI_2.pv". After this I controlled the features configuration (some of the "enable xxx" buttons have changed to "disable xxx" (after the last luncher update if I recall this right) so I let them in "OFF"-position) but didn´t change anything. 

Sadly all this doesn´t seem to have any effect. So here is the new debug file.

Have you tried to run it in english mode? Just to eliminate hypothesis, etc.

 
Didin´t now that this is possible. How did I do that?

I'm not sure he can if he doesn't have an English install of FS2 retail.

Might need to buy the English version on GoG.

I was able to change a value in my registry to deal with this problem (I'm also stuck with the German version of Freespace 2). Unfortunately I cannot look up the exact path of the registry value right now.

  
Found this post va Google.

It seems the my problem really has something to do with the german version.
