Post by Mark »

Image
Its only a visual bug, when I place the pole they connect. I'm running Windows 7 & playing on the "New Hope" Campaign on Level 2.

There is an additional feature that could be added. When you add a new pole, it only connect to one pole (according to the distance, it could connect to more than 1).

I am not sure I am clear about that !!!

In this case the pole doesn't connect to any of the poles.

It happens for me in freeplay for save started in 0.2.6 (or maybe 0.2.7) after I updated to 0.2.8, when I tried starting new game (demo level 3) it worked OK

My pole connections sometimes flicker before they are placed.
If they flickered, they (usually at least) won't visually connect.
I haven't tried actual connection.

I have exactly the same problem, maybe something is wrong with the linux version. It is happening in a newly created game and in an old save as well. When I try to place poles, they are blinking between the normal placement and a rotated placement which is connected to the network. And if I place it in the normal placement, it won't connect to the network.

I just found and repaired the bug (thanks to valgrind).

This was funny one, the orientation of the pole is calculated depending on connected wires, so first I connect wires, but the condition to connect wires had to operate with the wire connection point of the pole, and that depended on orientation ...

Anyway, this is to be repaired in 0.2.9, I'm sorry for the trouble.
