Priest Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Screenshots? Using a custom interface mod? And btw it does not seem that way on my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Not quite. When you are playing, the button's action is pause, hence the pause label. When you are paused, the button's action is play, hence the play label. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are paused, the button's action is play, hence the play label. Well, I don't know what game you're playing, but it's not CMBB because in fact the opposite is true. This minor, yet somewhat irritating issue has already been discussed previously in another topic. When the movie is paused, the button should say "Play", because that is what you would want to do when you press it. And when the movie is playing the button should say "Pause", because that is what you would want to do when you press it. That is the way it works in this world. That is the way every playback program I have ever seen works. That is the way every VCR, DVD, CD and tape player works. And if all that is not enough, that is the way CMBO works too. Don't take my word for it, look at it. [ November 06, 2002, 11:16 PM: Message edited by: mobear ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellros Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 I see what he means. The options are reversed indeed on mine also. When the movie is playing, the button still says "Play", when paused, it says "Pause". Instead of the other way around as wwb described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Red Line Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Mobear, Swapping the BMPs would elegantly solve the problem, wouldn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soddball Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Well, I can't say I cared until this thread appeared. Now it does, this is the single most important point in my life. I will campaign night and day to get it implemented! This is far more important than inaccurate data or graphical/game glitches!! This is a disaster!!! I can't believe BFC could even think of releasing a game without properly checking these buttons!!!! I blame the beta testers!!!!! There was obviously no playtesting done anywhere, ever, by anyone!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSulo Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Just a simple swapping of the BMP's doesn't help. 2010.bmp - all four buttons, "Play" being shown as active 2016.bmp, 2017.bmp - Two versions of Play 2018.bmp, 2019.bmp - Two versions of Pause I started modding it, but saw that it's not really anything wrong at all. When the movie is playing, it shows a flashing green "Play" symbol, just like your VCR, DVD, whatever. While paused, it shows a flashing red "Pause" symbol, again, like your VCR, DVD, whatever. One could change the label that goes with the symbol, something like: 1. Movie plays: Flashing green play symbol ">", but the label says "Pause". 2. Movie paused: Flashing red pause symbol "||", but the label says "Play". But I don't know if that would be any better... It can be confusing wether to see the label/symbol as the button's label/symbol OR as the present "play mode". Hmm I'll whip up a mod and see what I like best. EDIT: That came out pretty well, I'll use it If anyone wants to try it... http://w1.211.telia.com/~u21117402/ss_play.zip [ November 07, 2002, 06:51 PM: Message edited by: SuperSulo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
