DNTS + Water + LOS on BA / BAR > Nasty snow bug

Post by FabriceFABS »

Already made job on MetalHeck / AltairHeckCrossing / Blockwars to add DNTS features, now it's time to 7 Islands map to receive this DNTS feature, and some other improvements at this time.
7 islands got some water, and it's been 2 days that I got a bug I didn't find from where, until now.

I can't report anymore bugs on BA Trac.

Follow carefully what ALL OF THOSE REQUIRED to have this nasty bug :
Spring >= 101 + BA / BAR + LOS' BlueStone widget activated
+
Any map with DNTS + Water (minheight < 0)

Gives this ugly animated snow Image
like you have on an old TV when no channel is set.
Better in video : https://youtu.be/UCid36ff4sQ

To reproduce this, :
1. Take on of those MetalHeck / AltairHeckCrossing / Blockwars / CorePrimeCorrida,
2. Extract and rename extracted drawer .sdd at the end, and place it in Spring map location,
3. Edit mapinfo.lua and set mapheight to any value < 0 for getting water.

To remove this : Simply disable LOS with «L» key or widget manager.

There's a problem with the LOS widget when there's water AND DNTS.
I precise that a map with water + DNTS under Spring 101+ and TA works perfect.

Thx to [LCC]jK that helped me finding the source of this issue.

Seems an engine bug, it appears also on TA with F1/F3/F4 keys.
