[40d2+others?] Notes symbol changes globally
« on: December 28, 2008, 01:32:34 pm »
Noticed some odd behavior when changing the symbol used for Notes.
All previously placed symbols would adopt the new symbol whenever a different symbol was selected while placing a new Notes, however any Notes who's symbols were explicitly specified would retain their settings correctly.
A horrible description, I know, but it's an odd problem that warrents further testing.
I would appreciate any other opinions from anyone else, who can perhaps better explain.

Yeah, I couldn't reproduce it while trying to screenshot it, so I'm not sure what was going on.
Basically when I changed the symbol on one note (call it, note X), it changed the symbol for all notes (Notes A,B,C, etc).  I then created a new note (call it note Y), changed the symbol on it, and all symbols reverted back, except for Note X.

Wierd.
Hold on, if you are creating a tile set, wouldn't the single tile in the [Insert Tile Set Here] count for all tiles? because there are no others and it is not counting curses.

Ex:

This is my tileset.:
X

The game doesn't see any other tiles so it thinks that that tile will be counted as all tiles.
If im wrong or just said something totally random please correct me.

Sorry, nothing to do with tilesets.
This is what occurs when pressing "N" from the main menu of Fortress Mode.  Allows you to place a Note on the map (free text, 100 character limit).  Very useful for labeling levers and such.
(btw, as a side request, would it be terribly difficult to implement a "what is this lever linked to?" option when viewing a lever?)
