This black bar which appears when you hover your mouse to the top of the screen, sometimes stays up there.
REASON: If you let go of ALT while your mouse is in the hover-activation area then the black bar stays up.
FIX: Well I don't know how to code this personally but I can guess there is a workaround. Another solution is to remove this functionality from in-game completely (in ShootMania title) as this would be better off being hard-coded in the ESC menu where you don't need to do this silly hover mouse action.
I'd be much happier with this decision as:
- Black bar will no longer be an irritation during gameplay especially while in a tournament environment.
- Actions like changing the game volume, accessing in-game settings and mania browser would be easier in the ESC menus. Mouse action is time-consuming but pressing the ESC key is much quicker.
- This will be much easier for new players used to most games out there today, when I first played SM this system was a clunky experience and still is today.
- And one last thing if this is fixed that will be one less annoying issue in ShootMania as it covers up the gametime, map score and that its extremely irritating and distracting when popped up ingame.
Although this black bar feature is pretty useless ingame (better in the ESC menus), it is however very useful in ManiaPlanet menus, but like I said about being permanently in the stuck position in the ESC menus, it would be fine in the MP menus as well I guess.
Keep up the good work Nadeo and I am looking forward to our next big update!
