1.5.8 New Naga in water doesn't shink?

Post by Vendanna »

While I know this isn't where I should report a bug, I wanted to know if for other people this also happens before filling a "Report" in the GNA.

On older versions of the game, the nagas in the water had 33-50% covered by water (transparent) but on this version I cannot see the effect on the new naga. (didn't tested the rest of units in case is a general problem, tought).

Thank you for your time.

I tried to reproduce your bug and could not, the nagas were covered as normal.

It's weird, for me none of the units shink. :?:

I'll put a screenshot tomorrow to compare. And then think why it happens? (I don't think there is an option that does that!)

Here is an attached image of what is happening on my version.

None of the units is "shinking" as yours do. So probably is something I may have differently?

Is there an option (video or gfx that controls these things?) and where is the place that makes the units shink? (in order to check it by myself in order to fix it on my end?

Thanks for your time.

I am really not sure, no one else has reported this issue yet. Have you changed any of the settings of the game at all?

That's what I'm going to write in there next time.

I'll indicate all options (On/Off) of the options menu. Just in case it can be replicated. It looked weird. and in worst case scenario I can reinstall the game clean to see if it still happens. (as a note on the installation I changed the path of the installation)

But I don't think that had something to do with the problem I'm experiencing.

Does it help if I say I see that same problem in 1.5.7? WinXP.

*Wonders what OS Vendanna has, and if it is a Windows issue.*

Do you have problems with archers firing arrows out of their feet rather than their bows? I noticed that on my Mac version (sorry, I'm in the wrong house to check which version I've got - but I know it's not the very latest). In particular, if the archer is standin on a castle or keep, the height displacement sometimes goes wrong, and the arrow animation starts from the wrong point. I'm wondering if you might be seeing another side effect of the same issue. If not, I'll update my Mac Wesnoth version and report my problem separately (if it still applies).

I use a Mac, so I tried to reproduce the problem you mentioned. I noticed that sometimes the arrows seem to come from a bit above the center of the bow, but nothing so drastic as coming from their head or feet. This may have to do with the directions the attacks I tried came from though. Is this an issue with all archers or just some of them?

Sorry I forgot to tell my OS earlier (I tought I did but I was wrong)

I'm using windows XP, with 1.5.8

These are the preferences menu options I have.

General: Only Show team color is On, rest off.
Video:
Adjust gamma (off)
Show colored cursor (off)
Inverse time/weather? graphics (invertir graficos de tiempo) [OFF]
- rest on.
Sound: All on
Multiplayer: I didn't touched anything there.
Advanced: All is on

It looks fine for me, running 1.5.8 on (*gasp*) WinVista. If it's a Windows problem, then it's related only to XP.. ;)

Doesn't happen for me in Linux. What is your current video bit-depth, as configured in the Display control panel?

Supongo que te refieres al panel de control del windows xp :hmm:

La calidad del color está puesta en la más alta (32 bits)
Resolución 1024x768

I think you are refering to my windows xp control panel.

The quality of color (is this the bit depth?) is on the highest (32 bits)
Resolution 1024x768.

If this wasn't what you were asking for, please inform. thank you for your time.
