Revs 4635-4637: comms log appears on every communication.

[Capt. Murphy]

Morning,

The changes in these revisions seem to have had the effect of making the comms log appear every time a communication is received. Was this intentional? It's a bit intrusive.

??? What you see is standard behaviour since at least Oolite 1.65. Console messages go only to the console but all comms messages trigger the comms log as well. You can suppress this behaviour with a special key in the hud. Probably your normal hud had this key and you now tested a game with default hud settings?

CSOTB Capt. Murphy, the behaviour you saw before was a regression bug, one that went unnoticed for a while now.

It was affecting windows PCs (and possibly linux ones too) but not macs due to the different way uninitialised booleans are handled in the different platforms.

To get 'back' to the behaviour you're used to:

Code: Select all

comm_log_gui { automatic = no; }

Thanks gents,

After posting I gathered that it was probably supposed to do that having looked again at the code and the long-ago revision (3780?) where you added the Hud.plist keys.
