Starmade | scrolling through ship hotbar is jumpy
Closed, FinishedPublic

Description

Scrolling through the 10 slots while in ship mode doesn't work well for me. It if scroll upwards "fast" (so to the right of the hotbar), it seems to not update instantly and lag behind or jump back to the left of the hotbar. It's an annoying issue during combat since I have to scroll slowly to make sure I don't select the wrong weapon.

I don't have this in build or astronaut mode however.

I'm using a logitech G500 mouse. driver: 8.45.35.0

I have seen this as well. Can be a real pain in combat.

-Confirmed-

Hop in core and scroll up or down fast makes it act jittery. Doing so slow, it works proper.

This is a fairly simple fix for a small, but annoying issue. That said, this fix will need some testing in odd situations.

Before the fix, the mouse scroll would update on the network for each slot that was passed over as the player scrolls... now the slot is only sent to the server if there hasn't been any mouse scrolling for 100ms. Testers will need to try to break this somehow, such as on a high latency server.

it appears fine for long ping and asked a person with 200 ping to check it too.

Only thing he saw was that it appeared to skip slots at super fast speeds but not sure if that's a real issue..

This issue or a similar one affects me in flight mode only. It acts like inertial scrolling is on or something. I can scroll fairly comfortably on my Macbook's trackpad, but trying to use a clicky mouse wheel causes erratic behavior. This happens only in flight mode; build mode and astronaut mode behave as expected with one wheel click moving the hot bar one space.
