It often helps to say what happened exactly when you got the feeling it was not working. If Lua errors appear in the log post them.
Otherwise people will have no idea what you mean when you just say "no worky! wai?".

[Forboding Angel]

No errors. Just doesn't work in 94.1 Works fine for me in 91.

I'll see if I can find some sort of conflict.

Sorry, my fault. Easy metal is blocking it. I don't understand what would have changed with spGetMapDrawMode() between 91 and 94.1 to cause it to stop working. That's frustrating .

[knorke]

The change is you copypasted a wupget that toggles back ShowMetalMap as soon as metalview is activated.

[Forboding Angel]

I didn't copy paste anything. This is not my widget. I was pointing out that apparently spGetMapDrawMode() doesn't work the same way in 94.1 as it does in 91.

[knorke]

can you check if beside spGetMapDrawMode the F4 key was broken too?

[Forboding Angel]

No, it's working fine. Like I said, easymetal is somehow causing interference.

Both the widget and the gadget use that call. Ideally, they shouldn't conflict, and in 91 it was no problem, but for some reason, in 94.1, only easymetal shows.

what does look like when f4

[Forboding Angel]

Little yellow circles of easymetal, and nothing on geos.

[knorke]

where did green go

[Forboding Angel]

Easymetal replaces teh green with little yellow circles, and disallows placement of mexes anywhere but on a metal spot.

[knorke]

yes but the green where did go

Commenting out this line: https://code.google.com/p/evolutionrts/ ... al.lua#405

Causes the geos highlight to show, but the yellow circles flicker like crazy

Like I said, the two are compatible and never have been. There is no way they worked together in spring 91, which I tested. Either the gadget needs updating, or the widget does.

[Forboding Angel]

They worked for me though, I even have some video somewhere of it working, but whatever.

Are not compatible doesn't mean that they couldn't be made to be compatible though.

They are obviously capable of being displayed at the same time.

Edit: Oops, that's what you just said.

like i said its because the easy wupget toggles back ShowMetalMap as soon as metalview is activated. so when something else wants to read it is already toggled back. spGetMapDrawMode did not change between 91 and 94
