Do the area objects have an icon? If so, try removing it.
|
Ohh, wtf.
http://prntscr.com/f1q3gx The plane was jacking it up. Once I removed the icon it turned gray instead of blue. I had to track down where I was setting the area plane and change that bit to be on the same plane as turfs. Is that a bug? | |
I'm honestly not sure.
Credits to Zasif though for knowing the problem cause. He Paged me and let me know since his posts are apparently hidden. | |
Ahh, man. It seems if you add an icon to area and layer it on top, despite the icon's transparency or the alpha var of the area, it covers the preview box fully.
| |
I just used an almost transparent icon with no alpha set, and it still uses the non transparent color of the area icon and completely covers the map. That surprises me, I believe in older versions it -didn't- do that, I'ma go check my older version of the game.
| |
Must be the version of BYOND then, I just checked and it does cover the preview. I know for a fact I used to use transparent area icons to see where each area covered on the map editor. I believe this was back around like... 508 or earlier.
| |
Could report that then.
A workaround that should work is setting the area's icon/layer at run-time instead. | |
Yeah, that would work but I use the area icons to visually see how my areas are laid out when I'm mapping, lol.
Edit: I could just map everything then lay out the areas, don't need the preview for that. | |
