Little problem with ambush (1.7.6)

Post by mich »

Playing without fog, the hidden unit isn't suddenly displayed when it has an enemy unit near, but only after you click on another unit or scroll the screen. Probably the screen isn't refreshed after the ambush event. The problem doesn't show always, but most of the time (without fog). A screenshot of the problem

As you can see, the red elvish ranger in the forest isn't displayed (but he appears if I click on any units).
Not a big problem after all.
Operating system windows vista (not tried on linux, I will try it in the afternoon). The bug is absent from the 1.6.x line.

If you don't want to upload a big file, please crop your image rather than scaling it. An image scaled down this much is hard to read.

Well, there isn't much to see, but here it's a cropped image.

As you can see the wose isn't displayed (until I click on some other units). I wasn't able to reproduce it on linux.
I have also noted that for leaders ambush doesn't work on turn 1 (this happens in 1.7.6 but also in the 1.6 line). There was already a bug report for this at gna, but it's marked as fixed and it's really old (2005). An image to show the problem

The first 1.7.6 bug is now fixed in svn-trunk (r39124). Thanks, for the report. Indeed, we refreshed his hex before mark it as now visible.

I confirm the other leader bug. Really weird, but I didn't hunt the bug yet.

The second bug about leader is now also fixed in svn-trunk (r39125)
The old hack about using hidden=yes to avoid this bug, is now useless.
