Title: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: minä on July 09, 2007, 11:47:25 am I can enter the Super Melee screen and select ships normally. The bottom fleet is human control I can change that to any of the cyborgs if I want . The upper says also human control but i can't change the fleet's 'controller' ! it is stuck to Human Control! When I enter Melee the game runs fine, exept the upper fleet is on Awesome cyborg regardless the ship select screen saying human control. So I can't play against any of my friends :'( Please help me.

Please submit a full bug report including your configuration files. After that, deleting the configuration files may work around the problem. Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: meep-eep on July 09, 2007, 12:28:00 pm I think this was a problem in the 0.6.0 release, which would corrupt your melee config file. Just delete melee.cfg (see here (http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/The_Ur-Quan_Masters_Technical_FAQ#Where_are_my_settings_stored.3F)) and you should be fine.
If you want to keep your current fleet, save it before deleting the config file. Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: Novus on July 09, 2007, 12:53:54 pm Do you have a Bugzilla entry for this? I can't seem to find any mention of this there or in the ChangeLog.
Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: meep-eep on July 09, 2007, 02:21:10 pm It looks like the bug was not present in any released version. It was introduced and quickly fixed before 0.6.0.
The config file corruption should only occur if a pre-0.6.0 snapshot with Netmelee was used. If no such snapshot was used, and a similar problem showed up using a recent UQM version, then maybe there's another bug (although it's surprising it would go unnoticed for so long). The patch that fixed the bug is this one (http://sc2.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sc2/trunk/sc2/src/sc2code/melee.c?r1=2577&r2=2588). Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: Zarnium on July 10, 2007, 02:27:24 pm When this happened on my computer, there was a corrupted hidden file I had to delete using Terminal mode called "melee.cfg". I have a Mac, though, so I don't know how useful this is to you.

:-[ Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: Novus on July 17, 2007, 10:56:56 am ... I am so embarrased about this, i can't find the melee.cfg Welcome to the new, faster, Novus technical support system. Your response in the new standard format follows::-[ RTTFAQ Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: Amiga_Nut on July 17, 2007, 02:06:42 pm Mina: Well, if your using Windows XP, the melee.cfg file is in your Documents and Settings folder under the account where UQM was installed. It's in a normallly hidden folder called "Application Data". The path to the file should look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\(account)\Application Data\uqm Where (account) = your system administrator name or whatever name you normally log into when using Windows XP. Hope that helps. Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: minä on July 17, 2007, 02:49:25 pm Well, i found it at last... Thanks for the advice, it worked!
Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: Davey Yungblud on July 17, 2007, 06:19:34 pm What do you mean by "Hidden file" Zarnium?
Title: Re: Cannot change cyborg to human in Super Melee Post by: minä on July 20, 2007, 09:53:04 am I must say, i'm happy that the problem in now solved, deleting melee.cfg helped. But i have version 6.2 and i haven't played net melee until recently and the problem appeared earlier. ???
