[2.0.72] Speaker icon not shown in map view with icon blinking disabled

[Icicubes]

it seems to be broken? It always showed the icon before, but now it only fades out on the mini map and is not visible anymore in map view? I am very confused. I am just playing base+quality+elevated rails right know.

Hi,

Can you send a screenshot or video of the issue? I am not exactly sure what behavior you are specifically talking about

[Icicubes]

If you disable in graphic settings under accessibility enable blinking warning, the icon of a blinking programmable speaker alarm is just displayed once per session on the map or simply the down time is super high? It doesn't seem to be reappear on the map (even though the speaker got turned on and off) without restarting the session or changing the mentioned graphic setting? The minimap seems to work, it shows the alarm icon every time it gets loaded. It is not consistent with the map.

I can confirm the map view isn't showing the icon for a speaker sometimes if the option to disable blinking isn't on.

Normally, the icon set on the speaker would blink in remote view as long as the condition is true, and you have the option to show it on map set.

If you disable blinking, the icon will show on the map at first, but slowly fade out, and then seemingly not reappear until the alert goes away and gets retriggered. You can barely see it visible in the below shot.

The time it takes to fade completely seems to EXACTLY match the time it takes for the alert itself to disappear.

Toggling the show icon on map option doesn't make it reappear if it wasn't on the map before. This includes if the alert is triggered with the option off, then it is toggled on.

Contrary to what Icicubes said, the fading DOES also happen in the minimap, but it sometimes comes back - toggling remote view on/off OR scrolling out in remote view far enough to remove the minimap and then back in seems to make the icon reappear, but then start fading again.


Toggling the alert on/off works ok in both map and minimap when blinking is enabled, though there is a delay before it shows up - seems to be waiting for the next time the icon would've blinked on to show it again, instead of being immediate, which makes sense.

This is not limited to the speaker, all alert icons in map view fade out permanently with the setting disabled until you hover the alert on top of the shortcut bar. Might even be intended.

That actually shows a smaller version of the icon, and is separate from the show on map setting on the speaker, and if the map icon shows that gets placed on TOP of the normal on-map icon. That behavior doesn't change whether icons are blinking or not.

The processing unit is pregnant
