[33g]site selection buggyness
« on: December 22, 2007, 10:56:00 am »

Sometimes when selecting a site in 33g, the selection area is offset away from the visible local tile. Additionaly, the controls for moving the selected area is disabled. This does not occur on all tiles but yields tyhe same result on the ones that are affected. Selection area size is 16x16.

This seems be caused with any selection area greater than 13 on unembarkable regions, because the game puts the top-left corner of the selection area at the 3,3 local block like normal and then gets confused.

Actually, it acts a little differently with 14x14 than 16x16.

Of course, since it only happens on the unembarkable regions it's really a minor issue.

Edit: Scratch that, it's not just the unembarkable regions, but it does always happen on them.  With 14x14 and 15x15 it seems to only happen on unembarkables.  With 16x16 it happens on other regions.

Edit: With 16x16 on any region that does not contain any mountain blocks at all it acts just like it does with unembarkables.  If there are some mountain blocks, it will put the selection area in various places.

I think I was even able to shrink the selection area down so that no tiles in the local view were selected last night; I'll try again later. No clue what would happen if you tried to embark like that...

I hope this is fixed soon, not having to resize that all the time to see all of  the available biomes would be nice  :)

Okay, I'll note it down.
