Issues with menus in 5.4 online version
Asyranok
09 Mar 2013, 22:50I am running into issues with menus in the online version. Double clicking on an option causes this error to appear
This breaks the menu. The user must initiate the menu again, but sometimes, the functionality is entirely broken for good. For example, I tried to "Use Strong Metal Pole on..."
This was the result...
After a little investigation, I find that the menu didn't entirely fail. The scripted sequence meant to occur when I tried to use the metal pole on the bundle of wires DID occur, but nothing was displayed. The metal pole is in my inventory, but - as scripted - it was removed. So it has no functionality, and can't even be dropped, but it appears in my inventory.
Also, the door that becomes usable from this scripted event does indeed become usable, despite the error.
====================
And another weird bug/and/or/feature I noticed in the online version. If I clock on the "Objects and Places" tab to hide the list, and then click on it again to show the list, a new version of the game is opened in another browser window.
