dialog boxes not adjusting to font sizes, crashing

[lee]

Hi,

the dialog boxes (when playing the tutorial) and boxes/windows on the screen don't adjust to the size of the font. It's nice that the font is large, though it won't hurt if it was a little smaller --- or better, it should be adjustable. How do I attach a screenshot?

The game is crashing too frequently to play. It leaves a crash log like:

Hi lee,

Are you using a non-standard mouse? Which mouse button do you push for it to crash?

Here's the comment from the function that's failing an assertion:

Code: [Select]

static MouseButton getMouseButton(int nativeButton) {
// Fail an assertion for debug builds so we can add the new mouse button codes, otherwise
// send MouseButton::UNKNOWN.

How do I attach a screenshot?

Simply upload it to a site like Imageshack (no account required) and post the forum BBCode here.

And the font size can be adjusted via the INI. The value RenderFontScaler will multiply the font size, so having 0.5 for the RenderFontScaler will half the font size, while 2.0 would double it, etc. This page here documents the INI, however, it is for the latest stable release, so the git-master version's new INI options aren't yet documented. We'll get to that later, closer to release.

Thanks for posting the bug report.
