| Summary | 0024129: Flickering tooltip in menu when hovering | ||||
| Description | I noticed when I was in the menu, starting a new game (fleet selection, options, etc.), that when you hover on something and the tooltip appears, it flickers often which is annoying. | ||||

Oof, this was super annoying indeed. It was only on dropdowns, from what I can tell. This was new in the version you reported it. Thanks! * The concept of "Update Cycles" in the ArcenUI framework has been removed. ** Instead we are basing things on ArcenTime, which was developed after the initial design of the ArcenUI. ** This in turn lets us have reactions which are framerate-independent, which is thus more consistent across machines. * Using the above shift, plus also an extension to allow dropdowns to properly handle tooltips even on their "off frames," we have fixed the flickering dropdown tooltips that were introduced in the last update of the game. * Various lobby dropdowns have been improved as follows: ** The tooltips for map type planet count entries still retain the header text of what you are doing. Also, colors for the selected vs potential items has been added. ** The tooltips for the planet naming types are a bit more clear in general, and it now shows the name in a line above the description for extra clarity. Also, colors for the selected vs potential items has been added. ** The tooltips for the map types explain themselves a bit better, include the name of the map type, and have the new colorization. ** Tooltips for the map linking flavor and planet layout and such now match the others in function and colorization, including showing the details of currently-selected item when you hover over the closed dropdown for the first time. *** Also discovered a special discrepancy in how these were being handled that was causing these to still flicker like crazy even after we fixed dropdowns in general. **** Also found and fixed this on all settings on the personal settings window, although all other windows seemed to be okay. * Put in a fix that will prevent dropdowns in general from using the code combination that leads to flicker: ** Essentially, HandleOverallMouseover() has been removed, and you should now use HandleMouseover() for that, and continue to use HandleItemMouseover() for items. ** We are able to control how this flows properly and remove the flicker, whereas before if someone used HandleMouseover() by mistake -- when they were supposed to use HandleOverallMouseover() -- then they would get a flicker. |
