Summary

0000263: Some menu issues || Skulltag 98x versus GZDoom 323

Description

* The "Compatibility Options" menu has one error. The "compatmode" setting is displayed too far on the right in Skulltag 98x compared to GZDoom 323.

* Color sliders for custom colors in "Options -> Display Options -> Automap Options -> Set Custom Colors" don't react at all unless you select a color from the palette below. It's not like this in GZDoom 323.

* Toggling "teamplay" in "Gameplay Options" has no visible effect, but it does take effect. Opening the console once allows you to toggle it properly. It's not like this in GZDoom 323.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Skulltag.
2. Go to "Options -> Gameplay Options".
3. Toggling "teamplay" doesn't seem to work.
4. Exit the menu.
5. Open the console.
6. Go back to "Options -> Gameplay Options" and toggle "teamplay". It works properly now.

* If "GL_LightMode" is set to 2, i.e., "Doom", it'll always be saved as 3, i.e., "Dark". It's not like this in GZDoom 323. I also noticed that the menu behaves differently if the software renderer is in use. Sector light mode "Doom" disappears from the menu. And once it's at "Dark", the LEFT ARROW key has no effect when trying to cycle through the values (sound plays though).
Skulltag 98x and GZDoom 323 behave the same way in this regard.

Also reported here:'http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=21733 [^]'

* Missing menu sounds.

Missing "menu/change" sound when cycling/toggling some options, e.g., "Announcer", "Class", "Handicap" and "Skin" in "Options -> Player Setup". Missing "menu/choose" sound as well in some menus. It's not like this in GZDoom 323. The "menu/change" sound is also missing in the "Gameplay Options" and "Compatibility Options" menu, but it's also like this in GZDoom 323.

Also reported here:'http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=22074 [^]'

* Out-of-sync "Gameplay Options" menus. "Options -> Gameplay Options" versus "Multiplayer -> Offline Skirmish -> Gameplay Options".

Also reported here:'http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=18164 [^]'

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

I took some screenshots of the issues.

BTW, why are all the menus scaled differently in Skulltag compared to (G)ZDoom/ZDaemon?

Notes

> - Various sliders in the player setup, the text scaling and the offline skirmish menu didn't play "menu/change" when toggled. (Those sliders that don't make any sound in GZDoom 323 still don't make any sound in ST)

Seems to be working properly now. I see that (G)ZDoom has a different nameplate in the "Player Setup" menu. A sound is played when you select it.

> - The RGB sliders for custom colors in "Options -> Display Options -> Automap Options -> Set Custom Colors" didn't work.

Looks like they are working as intended now.

From what I can tell, the automap behaves differently in Skulltag compared to GZDoom 323. It doesn't draw the map in real-time when you walk/run around. Did I overlook a CVAR?

> This is because of a decision Carn made a long time ago. IIRC Skulltag is more accurate in preserving the aspect ratio Vanilla Doom used for the menus by taking into account that Vanilla Doom displayed 320x200 with an aspect ration of 4:3.

Ok, so I assume that it'll stay this way, unless you want it to be like (G)ZDoom.

> - The "Compatibility mode" value in the compatibility options menu was displayed too far on the right. The last fix was tricky, would be good if you check all the menus to see if it broke anything.

I couldn't find any issues from a quick test. Is there anything in particular that could have been broken by the fix?

Is it possible to freeze the "Compatibility Mode" setting if the game is played on a server? Right now, you can toggle it back and forth between the various settings. Skulltag doesn't save the CompatFlags to the selected "Compatibility Mode" like GZDoom 323 does. How about having it default to the "Default" mode whenever Skulltag starts instead?

Hmm, I tried to play online with this build. Skulltag created a new .ini file in the main folder when I quit Skulltag while still on the server. In other words, two identical .ini files are in the same folder. But one of the .ini files disappear when I refresh the folder. Oddly, it doesn't happen if I join my server manually through the console. I'm using IDE.

BTW, I found another issue. Perhaps not due to Skulltag though. When I "manually" connect to my own server, i.e., start Skulltag and then type "connect localhost" in the console, the player movement and mouse input is delayed by 2-3 seconds once connected. If I take a screenshot or reconnect, the delay goes away. This does not happen when I connect to my server through IDE.

Also, I noticed that if you through "Multiplayer -> Spectate" turn into a spectator while the credits map is playing, i.e., "credmap.wad", the console will print "(ST)Carnevil joined the spectators.". And the map will also end if you either open the console or go to the "Player Setup" menu.

EDIT:

Found some more issues.

* You cannot toggle any of the shader options in "Options -> Display Options -> OpenGL Options -> Shader Options" if the software renderer is in use.

* The slider in "Options -> Display Options -> Message Options -> Text Scaling" has the default values set to 32 x 32. The minimal value on the slider is 320 x 240 if the software mode renderer is in use, but 640 x 480 if the OpenGL one is in use.

* Fog mode "Radial" disappears from "Options -> Display Options -> OpenGL Options -> Preferences" if the software renderer is in use. And if fog mode "Standard" is selected, the RIGHT ARROW and ENTER key has no effect.
