[1.1.82] runtime-sprite-reload option doesn't tolerate mipmap warnings
Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2023 12:27 pm
There are numerous mods which specify a mipmap value for icon sprites which don't match the width of the bitmap, often because they are copying post-1.0 mipmapped icon specifications without updating their non-mipmapped sprites to match, or maybe some other oversight - it's easily done. There are even some relatively high profile mods which do this. Usually it only results in spamming the startup log with messages such as:
But otherwise the engine seems able to cope and ploughs on regardless.
However, if you enable the "hidden" runtime-sprite-reload option, the game flat out refuses to process this kind of thing and terminates itself. It halts with a crash dialog and appends the following to the log:
This puts you in a situation where your only method of starting the game again is to hunt for the config.ini and turn the setting back to false.
It would be nice to be able to take advantage of this hidden feature without having to disable every mod that has minor and usually tolerable issues with its icon specs.
