I can't issue any commands under the black market box

August 1, 2013 11:35:04 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

For some odd reason, I can't seem to issue any commands in the area directly under the black market box. The "dead space" is about the same size as the BM box. This includes stuff like move commands, general clicking, etc. Any suggestions or comments to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.

That's a strange issue to just crop up suddenly...sometimes you can fix strange issues like that by clearing everything in My Documents/My Games/Ironclad Games...there's also always the clean reinstall option....but I assume you are trying to avoid those solutions since they are a pain....

Does disabling BM on your HUD do anything to help the issue?  Does changing screen resolution do anything?

I know you cannot use mini BM if you have chat window open.

I have noticed this issue since at least 3-4 months ago. Disabling the BM box does eliminate the "dead space" issue, but I would prefer another solution because having the bm box accessible is pretty critical...

Are you just showing the metal/crystal and not the 'Most Wanted" section?

Assuming you're using updated Rebellion
http://reference-files.soase.x90x.net/Reference_Files_Reb_v1.52/Window/QuickMarket.window 

topRightRefArea [-240, 0, 300, 220]
highResTopRightRefArea [-240, -40, 300, 220]

300, 220 is the size of that window regardless if you are showing bounty or not but the bounty inside that window, under metal/crystal is only 100 pixels high

as myfist0 is hinting at, do you have pirates enabled or disabled? if pirates are disabled , but blackmarket is enabled then this effect happens, either enable pirates or disable black market are the only options that I can see to not see the issue.

I have pirates disabled. Is there any other way to fix this without using the above solutions? Preferably one that allows me to play in multiplayer?

I know some mods allow you to multi-player, they change sounds and textures, I don't see a problem with changing that QuickMarket.window 

EDIT: Making a mod, don't alter game files

Make special keybinds to hide/show market window and buy/sell metal/crystal
