Summary0000751: Misplaced button in the techdatabase
DescriptionGreetings,

During my work on the new Saga interface I ran into a very annoying bug. You see, tech database and affiliated screens (load mission, cutscenes, credits) are using the same button package.

Now, here is the problem: in the cutscene screen the very first button is positioned slightly different (12/5 vs 12/7). In FS2 it doesn't really matter because of the background, but with the Saga graphics the line between the first and second button is misaligned if you're highlighting the first button at the cutscenes screen (other techbase screens are ok with the same button-file).

Any ideas?

(I used original buttons as it is more obvious...)

Isn't this just a simple change in code\Cutscene\Cutscenes.cpp? Line 396, button 2_TDB_00. Change the 7 to a 6.

The nice thing is, this fix doesn't look bad in FS2 at all, in fact on close inspection it looks better, now matching all the other screens. Saga will have to edit 2_ViewFootage.tga, but I think that's because they didn't use masks.

7 to 5 you mean? It is wrong though, never noticed it. The 640 positions for TDB_00 and TDB_01 are also off for that same screen, the correct positions being 7x3 and 7x18 respectively.

I am glad that someone did find some time to look into it. It is a very minor thing, but annoying nevertheless :)

Is there any chance for fixing it? ;)

Thought Backslash was going to take care of this, but it's still broken and I got tired of waiting. :)

Fixered.
