new version available... v1.8f (release thread)

[PyrostasisTDK]

hey Rob, I saw the first line there, that I assume is for folks like me that play EQ2 and DAOC and such? Is that by command? or by window? Im installing EQ2 again to test this, if this has freed me from being forced to use innerspace I might just send you some hookers and beer

after looking through release the only part I see that talks about lock forground is the commands section... I thought that was simply how you executed different wow windows with maximizer, and as far as I know EQ2 and DAOC dont function with maximizer... I can actually set buttons up there that will force the windows to foreground?

I dont really understand that... what if Im pressing 1 to nuke on 6 toons, it will force them all to foreground? by that will it physically move it to foreground? or just speaking software wise, cause having 5 or 6 windows with out maximizer changing position... could get harry.

Nah, he's talking about 1-5 as the buttons set up to swap the windows. Normally you would have some other keys set to swap them around.
Either way, you decide the buttons in your settings, so you wouldnt have to worry about it swapping if you want want it to.

I dont think
"o add: added lockInForeground capability to commands, useful for some games (UNTESTED)" has anything to do with the boobs system... but I could be wrong

[Maxion]

Ah right, thought you were replying to his last post, my bad ^^;

Ok rob, installed EQ2.
Maximizer works great, only issue with that is EQ2's minimum res is 1024x768 so a lot of stuff is off screen if you run small res, but thats easily fixable by moving your UI around.

However, lock foreground doesnt seem to work, keyclone does not pass keys between two clients. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with this, this functionality is a HUGE desire for me.

**edit Always on top didnt seem to do it either.

sorry.. 2 topics there.

yes, the LockInForeground is an attempt to help the EQ/EQ2 multi-instance folks. looks like it missed the mark, though (i wasn't able to test it before shipping v1.8f)... i try to resolve the issue for the next release

and yes.. blondes and beer always welcome

[PyrostasisTDK]

appreciate the attempt, and Ill look forward to the new release. Once thats up and running Ill be able to start funneling DAOC and EQ2 people your way

I'm seeing a lot of ugly behavior with both my laptops, which are running two windows each. The mouse is jumping to the border of the window where it touches the other window, same as previous versions. I also now get the camera spinning that other's mention, and I can confirm it seems to happen if I click-and-drag to the edge of the window. It doesn't seem to affect single clicks, so I can loot, etc, but camera movement is problematic. Also, I'm noticing the mouse seems to be affected at random in this version, I get really fast cursor movement sometimes, and other times it's normal. However, I can't seem to track down a cause for it. I'll keep testing, always got 1.8e archived if I get too frustrated.

PiP button mash protection.... MONEY! I only recently started actually using BOOBS and PiP, and I always found that annoying. You'd hit the key, feel like it didnt do anything, and hit it again... only to find out that the original keypress worked and the screen jumps 2 times.

Good work as always Rob.
