let's have some fun and collect editor+mediatracker bugs
every single bug gets his own post.
Bug 001: Triangles Depth handling
-----------
Description:
Triangles can't handle any hierarchy/depth value at all.
Besides a triangle, you can insert 1 or 2 text tracks with depth value 0, so they are above the triangles (for what reason ever), but if you insert another text track and actually WRITE a text value in it, ALL text tracks will suddenly vanish behind the triangles...
very bad.... but good to know. Hope when i use those 2d triangles i dont have to do with this situation
Bug 002: More than 1 Triangle track will destroy values
-----------
Description:
If you insert more than 1 triangle track, the 2nd,3rd etc track might suddenly lose all color+transparency values. These values can't be restored and you won't be able to change any of these values. deleting the track is the only solution ^^
stop writing those things^^ they scare me off xD
Bug 003 : Turbo Bugs
With the new boosters there is a lil bug
When drifting on it, it reverses
(see other topic)
Bug 004 : Ghosts Dont work correctly
When working with replays, the replays wont move in the editor = damn nasty bug
Bug 005 :Changing screen sets of buttons
Very annoying. When I press ALT+TAB in the menu it exits...and I had mistral aseco...it always skipped or restarts.
Although there are bugs, I still like the game
Bug 006: Transition flaw at screen border
-----------
Description:
It's possible that a transition will not fill the whole screen, but leave some semi-transparent area (top to bottom) at the border of the screen. Preferably happens with dark color transitions.
Workaround:
Emulate a transition with a huge text letter + transparency .
(Note: Maybe related to the existence of a triangle track.)
Bug 007: Mediatracker view won't change on keyframe switch
-----------
Description:
When having 2 camera tracks directly next to each other, the mediatracker view will not change, if you switch from the <Start keyframe of the 2nd Camera track> to the <End keyframe of the 1st Camera track>.
Tested with a sequence of CustomCam/PathCam/CustomCam.
Workaround: shorten the track just a bit with your right mouse button, edit it and prolongen it again so both tracks fit tight again.
slowly it's getting bitter
Bug 008: Triange track causes surrounding track to fail
-----------
Description:
A text track might fail to work properly, if inserted along with a triangle track. The text might be overlayed by other effects, such as a transition track. As soon as the Triangle track is deleted, everything is ok again.
(Note: It's still unknown if the triangle track also effects other effects)
Bug 009: Can't change camera speed
-----------
Description:
When trying to free-handedly zoom and move the camera you may be unable to choose the speed unlike all the other games. I find this hard to work with. Please tell me if there is a solution, I can't seem to find a way.
Workaround:
Use the numbers located at the side of the screen to fine-tune the camera's position.
SOLVED
use the numpad +/- keys for changing cam speed
