Weapons gauge graphics overlapping
on: January 03, 2016, 01:20:15 am
The attached image shows what BP's weapons gauge currently looks like, at least for me. As you can probably tell, the gauge's graphics aren't properly aligned. This happens because bpc-visuals1.vp contains taller versions of the weapons gauge graphics and the HUD table does not take this into account. The best solution to this is probably to just remove those altered graphics.

In case it helps, I noticed this in the first real mission of War in Heaven 1.

They look like the graphics from the old abp2-hud-font-fix.vp file, but without the corresponding hud table changes.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

Is there any chance of this being fixed?

Most def, but I dunno if anyone's in a position to test and push a patch right now. I'm super overdue on my next book.

All you really need to do is remove the weapons*.ani files from bpc-visuals1.ani\data\hud. As long as nothing in BP expects taller weapons gauge graphics (which the HUD table certainly doesn't), there shouldn't be any problems.

An update has been pushed to the installer and FTP that fixes this.
