Bug Report: Library

Postby Calam » Wed Oct 16, 2013 5:06 pm

New bug I noticed, that I don't remember seeing in MO:UL.

While on the Library courtyard, while looking down at the docks, it doesn't rendering the buildings except when they are in the corner of my vision. I.e. if my camera is turned almost completely away from them, they render, but if I look at them, they're invisible.

What might be causing this?

It's done that as long as I can remember. The cause is that you're in an area of the City which was never quite finished so it displays some problems like that (at least they did fix the texture on the overhang). The more technical reason is, I suspect, due to an incorrect visregion in the data. Parts are missing when you're in the Concert Hall Foyer too.

There used to be a commercial on TV here in the States that said something like, "When you're Number 2, you have to try harder." I find there's a lot of truth in that. People will accept flaws in the "brand name" that they will notice and call out in the competition. I don't mean this as a slur to anyone; rather, it's a comment on human nature. I do the same thing.

I thought MOULa was fabulous until I started exploring the fan work. Then when I went back to Cyan's shard, I started noticing things I had never seen before. There were numerous mistakes in the original software that our devs have worked diligently to track down and fix. I realize there are still bugs in Gehn that are particular to the shard itself, but I've read what seems like countless posts where people noticed bugs on Gehn that they hadn't noticed on Cyan's shard.

I find human nature puzzling sometimes :? . It isn't anyone's fault, it's just a quirk that many of us share. Odd, but what can you do? Oh yeah, try harder!

You answered yourself... ---> I don't remember seeing in MO:UL

Memory shouldn't be your base for a "bug report". Go check for yourself... Go at the very tip of the courtyard and look directly toward the biggest stalagmite, you won't see the blue building, only lights. You should be able to see the structural red pillars though. I didn't find any major difference between MOULa & Gehn.


EDITION NOTE: Even though it shouldn't appear as being edited, I'm telling you... I rewrote the whole post since I calmed down a little...
