Button RESPAWN doesn't work with alive

[commy2]

From alive:

class RscDisplayMPInterrupt: RscStandardDisplay {
    class controls {
        delete ButtonAbort;
    };
};

They delete our RESPAWN-button...

Requesting label: 3rd Party Mod's fault.

Can someone confirm this fix? Not gonna install alive for that. Can only be tested in multiplayer while unconscious.

not fixed, when you hit respawn you will also hit alive abort mission..
Question, why there are the Abort and Respawn buttons in AGM anyway? For respawn module?

Question, why there are the Abort and Respawn buttons in AGM anyway?

Short answer, it's really needed for very important reasons.

Long answer, with some simplifications: when unconscious we need to open a fake invisible dialog to block mouse movements moving the player; so Esc closes the dialog instead of opening the menu. To allow the players to abort, respawn, etc we open the menu through a script command, but it doesn't work the same way as when it's opened through the real Esc key. So we reimplement what happens when you press the abort and respawn buttons. Alive messes with that menu too, changing the names/adding custom code to the existing buttons instead of adding new ones, so both things clash.

We may change the way we block mouse inputs in the future, hopefully removing this problem. Until then, we may not be able to completely solve this, IDK.

What about moving the respawn button directly below abort? That is not possilble?

[commy2]

Can anyone make a screenshot and explain what button I can actually use? I'm not gonna install alive with all those .dlls on my machine.

[lubomirblazekcz]

which dlls do you mean?

Some screenshots below:
alive menu only

unconscious in 0.94.1

unconscious in 0.95

now when I think about it.. what about move abort back down instead of respawn? When alive is used you can still abort, when not you can abort too.

I believe he means DLLs that come with ALiVE.

Why are they messing with those buttons in the first place...

[lubomirblazekcz]

I believe he means DLLs that come with ALiVE.

Well I have alive and I don't have any dlls with it

Thanks, the pictures helped.
I moved the RESPAWN button to the actual RESPAWN button in MP.
I hope alive doesn't change that one too.

Tested and it works without any problems now, thanks!
