Dual Monitor bug in windows 7 and more

I liked your game so much after playing it through my web browser. I decided to install the windows version.

Now here's my problem:
I have a dual monitor setup with my laptop and a small LCD TV. Normally i can drag any program to the top of the screen and it moves onto my TV. However, when I do that with this game. It fills the laptop screen, and won't allow me to move it off my laptop.

I'm running windows 7 home premium 64 bit
I checked my java version on java.com as well.
Verified Java Version
Congratulations!
You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 31).



After writing the above statement, I tried checking the Java Debug Console through the log button at the top.

Two things came up;
First, it stated it could not modify config/creeptd.cfg
To fix this is simply changed the user permissions and allowed a normal user to modify the file.

Second, i noticed this message
01:50:05,740 WARNING CommonClient:218 -
01:50:05,740 WARNING CommonClient:217 - http://www.javafx.com
01:50:05,740 WARNING CommonClient:216 -
01:50:05,740 WARNING CommonClient:215 - JAVAFX WILL BE REQUIRED IN FUTURE VERSIONS OF THE GAME...
01:50:05,740 WARNING CommonClient:214 - PLEASE CONSIDER UPGRADING YOUR JAVA ENVIROMENT TO SUPPORT JAVAFX.
01:50:05,740 WARNING CommonClient:213 - JAVAFX IS NOT AVAILABLE!
01:50:05,740 WARNING CommonClient:212 -


http://www.javafx.com isn't working at the moment, but i was able to find the software on oracle's website.
I installed it, but the warning is still in the log every time i start the game.

All of these issues are relatively minor, as the game still works perfectly otherwise.

I hope i was descriptive enough, any more info you need feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Re: Dual Monitor bug in windows 7 and more

The game currently does not support dragging the application window to another screen. However, it might work if you manage to let it start directly at the monitor you like to use.

JavaFX is not yet required (there is just the log output) but might be in the future.
Think it, design it, build it, run it. That's what I do.

Re: Dual Monitor bug in windows 7 and more

Thanks for your quick reply dcode. :-) After a bit more trial and error. i was able to get it to work. but not exactly how i wanted. I changed it so i move windows to the right instead of up and i'm able to transfer to the 2nd screen.

also i've noticed I don't have sound in the windows version, as apposed to the web browser version which has sounds when people join my game etc...

i get a short crackle when it first starts, but nothing afterwards. I've just started reading up on possible causes

Re: Dual Monitor bug in windows 7 and more

Oh sry i forgot that Strg is CTRL in english :D
There was (maybe in less case still is) a bug with the login button, there was a picture over the "login".
Normaly it should be fixxed, in many cases it helps to clear the cache and reload (CTRL+f5) and then it works.

If not please post your Browser (and Version)

Re: Dual Monitor bug in windows 7 and more

I've tested it on both Chrome and Firefox, on two computers. All Fully updated. One of which had never been to this site before. The link is still broken.

I found the section in the source
  Code:
<div id="login"><table><tr>
   <td><img id="countryicon" style="display: none" src="/images/flags/pp.gif" alt="" /> <strong id="namevalue">Not logged in</strong></td>
   <td style="display: none" id="pointscell"><span id="pointsvalue"></span> XP</td>
   <td style="display: none" id="skillcell"><span id="skillvalue"></span> Skill</td>

   <td id="loginlink"><a href="//myctd">Login</a></td>
</tr></table></div>
</div></div><!-- topbar -->


Removing one of the slashes should fix the issue
  Code:
<td id="loginlink"><a href="/myctd">Login</a></td>

Re: Dual Monitor bug in windows 7 and more

Wait i think I might be wrong, it may work that way, but it definitely will work this way

  Code:
<td id="loginlink"><a href="myctd/">Login</a></td>
