Full Version: Weird graphics during artillery fire
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have spotted some unidentified Soviet units, which is fine. But when I go into the artillery dialogue, the mystery units get superimposed by the mine symbols. This is very strange. Does anyone have any explanations?

Here's what I expected to see (but highlighted in red):

And here's what I'm seeing (the icons are minefields from one of Jison's earlier MapMods):

Has anyone ever seen something like this before?
Have you looked at those units in question with the stock unit graphics?

Also, what game title is this from?
That is odd... but since the 'unit highlight' and the 'minefield' are located on completely different bitmaps, it cant really be the mod's fault, unless you have fiddled with it somehow. And since the program has no reason to call up the symbol for minefields when in the artillery dialogue, it can hardly be the program's fault either. So my guess is that this is a temporary memory glitch and a one time event.

Now it may sound like I'm actually knowing what I'm talking about but I assure you that is far from the truth - I'm only thinking out load! Big Grin

This is in Smolensk. It has happened on the last few turns (it's a pbem). It hasn't happened in any other game I've played.
S41 had this problem in when v1.16 came out. I notified HPS, but it must have gotten lost. Send in the information, blt files and screen shots, to support so they can fix it. My request was over two years ago, and I got busy with other things so good to just start over.

It does appear to be something specific in S41 v 1.16.
