_[NAB] FoG(RB)v1.8.1 [GUI][Controls] Problem on Battlescreen

[Leonidas048]

Hello i dont know what ive done but i must have hit some sort of key function while using the chat box and now on the bottom left of my main battle screen i have a transparent black space where when i attack with my units it tells me what has happened in the attack and the percentage of losses etc. I want to know how do i clear this box? What keys do i press to remove it? Its never happened before. Hope something can be done i dont want to uninstall and reinstall all the games again thanks for any help.

Hello ive sorted it out you just press the T key to clear it knew i would workit out in the end

There's no such shortcut as T key you're mentioning in here.

What you've probably did was to toggle on the debug console, which is toggled on/off via pressing the ~ key.
Other probable causes:
- the gameplay console (LCTRL ~ keys)
- the detailed combat info panel (C key)

Can you check and see if that was the case, please?
Or maybe you have a screenshot with it activated to post, please?

Hello ive just tried it again and it does what i said. When you hit the U key button a dark rectangular screen comes up in the bottom left hand corner of the battle screen which describes the actions and percentage losses of the units. To remove that screen you just press the T key button like it says in the manual. I admit i didnt realise that at first until i properly read the list of the shortcut key buttons. Just try it and you can see what i mean thanks.

You're both right!
Leonidas is referring to the RB version, not the unity version.

[Leonidas048]

Hello you confused me there what does those two versions mean?

[cothyso]

It means you're using the FoG(RB) build which you've downloaded from the store. Is the old version of FoG, written in RealBasic. In the mean time FoG had a new upgraded version in work, written in C# and made with Unity 3D engine, named FoG(U).

This beta/bugs report forum is for the new FoG(U) version. You can access FoG(U) by downloading the latest beta from the v2.4.01.1030 (GM1d)(mod) release build]http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 97&t=39843 thread and using your FoG(RB) serials to activate it.

I haven't played in with the FoG(RB) version for more than a couple of years I think, so I completely forgot the shortcuts used in there

[Leonidas048]

Thanks so the other type is from the version 2 of the game but it hasnt been completely developed yet? Maybe thats why i havent got it yet because its still in beta i prefer getting the games when they are more or less finished is this worth having yet?

Hello ive downloaded the V.2 mod before i install it does it over ride the game ive already installed if so can i still run all the other expansions on my game and finally to play against anyone else do they have to have the same version as well? Thanks for your advice.

[cothyso]

FoG(U) is a different application than FoG(RB), and you can install it anywhere you want to (though best would be not on your OS drive). You can run both FoG(RB) and FoG(U) in parallel without any kind of problem.

[Leonidas048]

Thanks for your advice but can you install the expansions on the V.2 and if you play against another opponent do they have to have the same version? Thanks.

[Leonidas048]

Hello ive downloaded the game on a separate folder i created but when i start it up it comes up with an error message that the data folder should be next to the executable whatever that means? Can anyone explain whats gone wrong thanks.

[cothyso]

FoG(U) contains everything FoG(RB) had (ie all the addons) and then some more (including the new WFS and OOF addons - which are inactive until you'll get serials for them from the web store).

To play against a friend, both of you must have the same FoG(U) app (ie can't play with FoG(U) against a FoG(RB), or vice-versa).

When you unpack the FoG(U) archive, make sure you're unpacking everything from the archive in the same folder, and make sure you aren't renaming the executable (as it uses that name to locate the associated data folder which must be found in the same folder as the executable).

[Leonidas048]

Thanks ive manage to install it and it seems to be working fine now ive learnt how to install my expansions by saving the serial numbers. But when i went to get the WFS and the OoF expansions the purchasing site of Slitherine says they are still not available and you say they are? If so how do i get them and do i have to pay for them? Thanks for your help.

[cothyso]

The WFS and OOF addons will be available only for FoG(U), and they will be available for purchase as soon as the FoG(U) will be launched. Which should be any day (and it was like that for the last month or so).

Can't wait. I am hugely impressed with the new FOG and really feel like you've got rid of the crapshoot element of the old RB version. It looks like good generalship will be properly rewarded without removing a reasonable degree of chance.

Many many thanks for all your tireless effort to get us to this point Dan.

[Leonidas048]

Thanks when you say the latest version will be launched so this isnt the final version of the game yet? One final thing how do you update the game i cant find any update button yet? Overall it does look a very good game and very slick well done.

[Leonidas048]

Ive looked on the multiplayer tag and there doesnt seem to be anyone there so it looks like not many are aware of this game ive been passing it onto some of my opponents who seem interested.
