I can't click any buttons (SOLVED)
Thursday, June 14, 2018 - 04:03
I tried to run a version of FLARE which I self-compiled but it doesn't work.
I pulled the code yesterday.
I can launch FLARE, but I can not click on any button.
When I hover with the mouse over button, I get tooltips, but clicking on buttons doesn't do anything.
This makes FLARE completely unusable.
I'm on GNU/Linux.
Can someone please look into this?
Why is FLARE broken for me? :(
I'm unable to reproduce this, but someone else also reported this happening. Can you post the contents of "~/.config/flare/flare_log.txt"?

What I did:
- Launched Flare
- Clicked once on every button on the main menu, but nothing happened
- Hit Esc to quit
- Grabbed the log file
Notes:
- Tooltips work
- Background music works
- Mouse cursor is visible
As you see, no games are installed yet, but that should not prevent me from clicking the main menu buttons, right? ;)
Package versions (I am using Parabola as my OS):
sdl2-2.0.8-8
sdl2_image-2.0.3-1
sdl2_mixer-2.0.2-2
libogg-1.3.3-2
libvorbis-1.3.6-1
hicolor-icon-theme-0.17-1
python-3.6.5-3
sdl2_ttf-2.0.14-1
(the number after the dash is for the Parabola package, the part before the dash is the true software version)
Try deleting "~/.config/flare/keybindings.txt" and launch Flare again. There was a time between 0.19 and 1.0 that we changed the syntax of this file in a way that affected mouse button mappings.
Other than that, I don't see anything wrong. The fact that tooltips show up mean that the mouse position is correct. And your package versions are the same as mine (I'm on Arch). If you still have problems and want to investigate more, you could try running Flare with "./flare --debug-event" to print the SDL events.
Yes, this did the trick. Thanks. :-)
That's not so obvious to figure out, hehe.
Yes, I have played Flare before, when it was unfinished.
