Title: No tool tips when starting new game.
Post by: bpm860 on March 05, 2012, 09:20:09 PM
Hi all, I recently downloaded 111.2.1 and pak128 2.1.0 and found that when starting a new game, all tooltips are missing from the menus.  I have tried enabling the tooltips via the in-game settings menu under the "general" tab (show_tooltips is checked) but when a new game is started, the setting does not 'stick'.

I then tried enabling the show_tooltips setting by directly editing the simuconf.tab file for both the pakset and the main game file to '1', but to no avail.  Whenever I start a game I am still missing the tooltips for items in the menus.

Is this a problem with my copy of the game or is everyone else affected?

Thanks!

I could not reproduce it - and it does not sound like a pak-specific bug - although it reminds me of this mysterious problem: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=9424.0

Hmm... thanks for attempting!

I run Windows 7 x64, if that makes a difference.

Moving to the development bug report section. If found pakset-specific, please return it here.

I just did some testing and found that this issue seems to occur when I modify the cars/tree/ground/townhall/ info window settings found in the settings menu of the new map creation interface (highlighted below).  For reference, my default settings are:

pedes_and_cars = 0
trees = 1
ground = 0
townhall = 0
only_single = 0

I have the same problem in the 111.2.1 and pak128 2.1.0. The only difference is, that all kind of select buttons doesn't work. If I start the Settings to change  something and start a new game ALL settings with a select
button are off in the game it self.

The only way to change a setting is in the file it self and to restart simutrans.

You could also use a nightly version, create a new game, and load it with the released version. Imho this bug is already fixed in the nightlies (all the select buttons in the settings dialog do not work properly).
