VPA 3.62a Bug?

[Guest]

Hi,

it seems as if the message interface has an error in writing messages. In
detail there is following problem:

In a PHost game I have some allies. If I want to write a new message
within VPA 3.62a by pressing N the menu occurs to choose the addressee.
The only addressee able to be selected are my own race, my allies, the
game host, a universal message and a team message.

Choosing to write a universal message the editor window shows with my
race in the From:- field but only my allies in the To:-field. So acutally
I am not able to write a universal message nor to write anybody else than
allies.

In pconfig.src the item AllowPlayerMessage is set to YES.

Is it a bug or a feature? ;-)

Please, don't post problems at two places without reason. I already
answered that one at SourceForge.

Probably your problem is that you have
ScoringMethod = None
in pconfig.src and
DullMessages = No
in vpa.ini (this is the default). In this case VPA won't let you send
messages to races with zero score.

Change that into 'DullMessages=Yes'.

Sorry for that! I wrote it with my newsreader first but didn´t send it
away. Then I wrote in SourceForge. And today when I started my newsclient
it sent away all in the outbox. Sorry!

Yes, that is correct.

Thank you for this solution! It worked.
