| Summary | 0005623: 103.0.1-1134 Unit icons look bad | ||||
| Description | Anti aliasing for icons (requested here https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=5617) seems to have been a bad idea or poorly implemented. The edge thickness of the icons visibly fluctuate as a unit moves and corners are sometimes rounded and sometimes square. Jagged lines are no less jagged. Watch the constructor (M icon) in the attached video highlighted in constructorInVideo.png for a good example of edge size fluctuation. bumpyTopSmall.png shows bumps on the top of a constructor icon that are not present in the source image in the sense that this section of the image has no horizontal variation at all. | ||||
| Additional Information | I use FSAA = 1 and FSAALevel = 2. | ||||

You don't get nicely AA'ed icon edges below an FSAALevel of 4, and the icons themselves won't look good with a binary alpha channel. |
|
|
I tried FSAA = 1 and FSAALevel = 4. It looks much better but transparency still causes some fuzziness around the edges of icons. |
|
|
the icons will also need updating, see the example screenshot I attached in 0005617. fuzziness arises from too few AA samples (0005242) and use of binary alpha values. NB: FSAA is no longer a recognized setting, only FSAALevel. |
|
|
I'm convinced that with FSAALevel 4 and some gameside icon fixes that this issue can be resolved. |
