TNM7 SE Help (?) System

BittersweetPosted on 07/22/03 at 05:36:19

I was just wondering if the final release of SE is going to have the help system restored & functional?  In the current version (Beta 16, and all prior betas) the help boxes are misaligned within the game.  When I click on something to give me a help pop-up, it gives me the information of something above/below/beside it, or the sentence in the help box is incomplete.

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue, and whether or not it will be fully working by the final release of the program.

I believe that Oliver has yet to create the appropriate help files due to the fact that there is yet to be a final version of TNM. So rather than create a lot of work of rewording/rewriting the help whenever changes occur, he just is going to include them in the final release. So what's going on isn't unusual; in fact, it's the norm.

Right said, Fred :-)

(I've been waiting for this chance for... ever *g*)

It wouldn't be such a good idea to continually change the help system to accomodate changes in the beta versions. I'd rather wait until everything is final and stable and then go to work on the helpfile.

Thanks!

Ugh, Oliver. I mean, really, I hope you have that out of your system now. :P

On an unrelated note, I sent a couple e-mails your way a few days ago; I was wondering if you received them or not, as that night my e-mail server decided to throw up and not send a few letters out correctly. If you have, sorry to waste your time.

Fred, unfortunately I didn't get e-mails from you recently.

Could you please resend?

Sure thing; I'll do that now.
