Bonus Tile

[moonrise]

What happened on the 17th? The add-on is unusable since then. Love it when it works!

Hey, thanks for writing! I think I've fixed it. BTW, please feel free to contact me directly (here or "vasili" on Discord)

Cheers

[moonrise]

Thanks so much. Keep up the good work!

[vasya]

Thanks again for reporting!

[moonrise]

I have noticed that on the afterlife map the right side has to stand one hex above the labeled tile. The left side acts like you would expect. Is there any way to correct that behavior?
Thanks for your help.

Your add-on has a visual bug.

So, when I am playing Team Survival or any survival that shows the wave comp with map labels and this addon is ON, the wave composition labels are removed on turn refresh

[Ravana]

Thats intended. Labels are write-only. There is no way to know where labels are.

Saying a bug is intended is still a bug.

[Ravana]

So create bug report to remove labels from team survival.

@Lord-Knightmare: there's been an increasing time pressure from work and personal life for me lately. I can relate to the problems, but I don't yet have the time to implement a solution.

If anyone would be interested in that, we could do the following:

- Create a proposal about the intended change. E.g. "have an option to remove labels" (but then I don't know how Bonus Tile would work without labels?..). Anyway, some proposal
- If we agree on the proposal, the interested person would have to code it.
- I'm ready to review, and if the code changes are small enough or well made, merge it in & release

Unfortunately, I cannot commit to more at the moment. Hope this makes sense for you, cheers!

BTW, if the labels are only remove occasionally, it could make sense for the other add-on that's generating them to keep re-adding them.. I know it's not nice, just thinking of alternatives here.

Thank you for the more civilized response (compared to the other person who sounded very rude).

I inspected your BonusTile add-on code and have to remark that it is important to give some visual indicator on the location of the tile and what this bonus is. This would be a positive UX for the player. From the affected scenario side, this is a mainline multiplayer survival (not just other add-on), so I suppose you'd have to ask the MP dev for a patch on...such as maybe re-add the labels every turn (so players wont lose track on what enemy wave will be coming next). The general problem here is the positive UX of one is interfering with the positive UX of the other.

Another solution I'd propose is moving the wave comp labels to the objectives (for this particular case). There are just 7 labels maybe in Team Survival or so.
Another solution is just moving the label text from labels to overlay text on the game map such as what is shown in the Battle Training (tutorial).
Guess, it's just coming to a common solution is the step for now.

It also sounded rude to assume something is addon bug when there is nothing addon can do to solve it.

For better solution there would need to be API to read label data so addons could decide whether to replace label, edit text, or select different hex instead.
