mobear Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 The Play and Pause buttons are reversed. (I have the American version.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Hmm, srange, they work as intended on my end. They show the current state, ie. when the action phase is playing, it shows play, when the game is paused it shows pause. Or do you mean something else? How about a screenshot?

jeffsmith Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 I know what he means I noticed it too But its a perception thing (both his & mine) When its time to play the movie "Pause" is Flashing Red and you must select that to play the movie When you start the movie "Play" Flashes Green and must select that to pause the movie I think intuitively (or perhaps counter intuitively) we are expecting the Play button to be sitting there in a non-flashing "push me to play" Green state then during Movie Play we are expecting the Pause button to be visible/lit up Red for us to pause the movie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to get used to it with the demo so far. It just seems the wrong way around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobear Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 Originally posted by jeffsmith: I know what he means I noticed it too But its a perception thing It's not just an opinion/perception - it's the way it is always done with any program, such as Media Player, for example. Also, in CMBO it's the other way around (the correct way). When the movie plays, the button should say "Pause", because that's what you would want to do when you press it. When the movie is not playing, the button should say "Play", because that is what you would want to do when you press it. Now, getting technical, if it said "Paused" and "Playing", then it would currently be correct, but I don't think that's the intent. I think the intent, quite obviously, is to indicate what the buttons do, which is "Pause", when the movie's playing, and "Play" when the movie is paused. And I've just typed way too much to convey this simple idea... [ September 29, 2002, 10:23 PM: Message edited by: mobear ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsmith Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 MoBear, After Two people, including a member of the design team, state they dont see your point & then someone goes through the effort to back up your view (which results in someone else also agreeing with you) Its not the best course of action to imediately disagree with the person trying to help you Media Player ? Since when has Microsoft ever been held up as a standard to be followed for User Interface I was trying to help you [ September 29, 2002, 11:13 PM: Message edited by: jeffsmith ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeWary Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 From a Graphical User Interface perspective, it does make sense to change it back to the CMBO style. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Maybe BTS got a little over-ambitious with their tweaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Would this be easily mod-able? Could it be as simple as swapping the names on two files? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
