Pop-up messages

Post by Milo Hiroya »

I think pop-up messages should only be closed by clicking "Close", not clicking outside the box. I missed several one-time event messages that way.

I agree with you. This has burnt me in the past.

Is it possible that this was the fate of Stuephants fifth Marble - I've still not found it, and I go back now and again and very systematically search the area. It's been several hours now, and I know I'm not that bad.

Trust me it's there search the house area and the field area. Do it like how a yard gets mowed. It is nerve racking and it's a pain but it's there

Err could if you are a quick tapper. But if he/she went back to see if they collected it that's different.
That's the only issue in the game I don't like. Why not have the pop ups stay open until you have to click a close dialogue button. You guys already have the ability to do so. And you can still have the option not to see stuff. The script is a easy fix to this and could easily work on the platform.

I think messages that only disappear if the player explicitly clicks close should be the ones that show you when they have found an L / E item.

I've said all through the linked thread that I search very thoroughly - I first do vertical walks going top to bottom from one side to the other, I skirt both ways around any obstructions, I then do exactly the same horizontally. I must by now have at least eight characters who have completed this quest, this character has spent more time than all the others put together and then some.

Is it possible that it's been discarded in the manner described in the first post of this thread?

No its there. Remember marbles are round and roll around. So that marble is there and yes it's a pain. But no it can not not be there.
