[gfx] [0.18] boiler-W-idle.png pipe wrong colour

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[gfx] [0.18] boiler-W-idle.png pipe wrong colour

Post by bobingabout »

Take a close look at boiler-W-idle.png, hr-boiler-W-idle.png, heatex-W-idle.png and hr-heatex-W-idle.png, specifically at the pipe that runs along the right hand side of the chimney. (unrelated note, why does the heat exchanger even have a chimney?)
Now compare that to the same pipe in every other angle, most easilly seen in the East version, because of the pipe location in it, but it can be seen from every angle.

In the W version, it's an iron pipe
in the N, E and S versions, it's a copper pipe.

Okay, this is a trivial issue, agreed, but still an inconsistency.

I hope somebody will write a book about development of this game one day ...

I know why it does, you(one of the development team) edited the boiler.
but why does does it still use those edited boiler graphics?

Either way, it was (and still is) a Rhetorical question.

Because it's not bad enough to prioritize making new graphics for heat exchanger over making new graphics for normal-res entities or other art work. (sorry for responding to your rhetorical questions)
