Summary0001865: Map gets overlapped by white plane white for spectator/replay at some point of time
DescriptionAt some point of time everything gets overlapped by white horizontal plane at some constant height, which goes away at some (quite large) distance.

Problem don't seem to manifest itself for game players (I was one of them), but was immediately noticed by spec and can be easily reproduced on replay.
Spectator (resigned player) was on windows (Version: 0.81.2.0 (0.81.2-0-g76e4cf5{@}-cmake-mingw32)) and I can reproduce it on linux.

Doesn't seem critical if only happens to specs, but I'd hate to see it ingame ;)

Wanted to note that problem occurs at about 27381 infolog time units in the attached demo, before spec (Gabi) asks "wth with the map?" and reports the same symptoms.

on the second screenshot, it looks like a lot of lines, not like a plane.
could it have to do with fog? (i never used/saw fog in spring, have no idea how it works)
27381 is the frame number (just to save you future typing ;-) )

i am really not the right guy for this report, but.. you did it well! lots of info, the right way.. thanks!

I've never seen fog in spring as well, plus graphic settings are bare-basics for me, with all the fx but "3d trees" disabled. I've also seen this map (Tropical) with all the effects enabled (to take a screenshot), and didn't seem to be any fog either.
Up-close the "plane" is composed of lines, indeed.

Good point about settings though, haven't really crossed my mind.
While I've had pretty much nothing more to disable, I've tried enabling everything, but it made no difference.
Then I've noticed that the player-drawn marks were on the same level as the plane, and tried /mapmarks. It worked perfectly, aside from removing the players' marks as well. Re-enabling marks brings back the white lines.

So, as a workaround for the problem, "/mapmarks" command can be issued.

Thanks for pointing in the right direction, and sorry for the typo in the summary.

Looks like it was just a Lua widget, invoked by one of the spectators.
Similar effect can be seen here: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=424781#p424781
Guess the issue is not valid then, sorry for the noise.

Yes, draw spam caused by tiger (player 6).

He sends 99% of all NETMSG_MAPDRAW messages.
