However, clicking on the old message crashes the game. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

Currently, it's very hard to make any message title that is longer than maybe serveral words without having it scroll, and it doesn't look good if you need to scroll to read even short messages. Just my opinion. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

02 January 2005 10:10 (UK time) There's another problem with PDA's in the map editor.In my map you get a PDA in the begining and another one later on, but when i finish my map and retry it i can see the second PDA in the begining which i shouldn't be able to see.Is this something about not reseting the PDA's in the map editor?

The PDA messages should always appear because chances are you'd want to go back and read something you didn't pay much attention to when it first appeared....
