White Unit Cards

**Brusilov** · September 07, 2010, 03:18 PM

Florin80 posted some details about these in the forum. Post #6 in this thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...63#post8044163

Apparently, the white card don't appear in some mods with large numnbers of units.

Βut i thought that this happening for this reason, because the RTW engine can't handle the scale of units....

Isn't difficult to be fixed?

Well, not according to florin80.

He's worked on quite a few mods over time. A number of dead mods that he's managed to release.

I think a number of people have tried to get him into various teams but I believe he may have been 'burnt' by experiences with some dev teams (there are some interesting stories out there).

It would be good if we could get to the bottom of this as although it's a minor thing (not seeing an image every now and then) it would be a nice thing to not happen.

The white card issue I have discovered the reason for........that's kinda ass-backwords, but you get the picture. Beyond unit #456 (or so) in EDU, the game engine can no longer display the cards. I have proven this in testing, but I forget the exact number at which this starts to happen.

The reason we have some white cards in the release is because some dumbass (me) forgot to make the units I MOVED to the bottom of EDU for this very reason 'no_custom', so they wouldn't show in custom battles anyway.

Hopefully I'll remember to fix this in the Patch.

I think we should make a new thread with all things that needs to get fixed in the first patch. Just so that we don't forget to fix it.

There are actually two different issues here (as I've posted in that thread);

1) the 'white out' that happens to both unit and bulding cards every now and then
2) the unit card missing on the custom battles screen

In the thread the OP was discussing the first.

What florin80 has posted was about the second example. Although originally he was referring to my post which is the first example (which I think it what the OP was asking about)...

My iunderstanding is that nothing can be done with the first but maybe the second could have something done eventually.

Hopefully that clears things up a little.

This is the so called 'white out' that happens with Units and Buildings that 'rights itself' either by clicking on another settlement or waiting a turn or two.

1. The first issue is caused by the reasons I posted in the Forum a bit ago (I think).......building trees that do not use the standard RTW growth format of 'village, town, large_town, etc...' OR, actually skip a level of city to another larger city.
I don't think the building browser knows how to handle this, and the building browser is linked with the city browser.

2. The second issue will be 'fixed' in a manner of speaking in the first patch, but only by removing unnecessary units from Custom Battles.

There is no true 'fix' for either of these issues that I know of, and I have been experimenting trying to find one since RS1.

Sorry guys , in future i should do longer and more intensive testing

before posting solutions to quickly

and
thanks for reply dvk if i only had known this ..i wouldn't think that it can be fixed so simply

I was thinking about the problem with images that iv'e posted before

and my brain spawns out FuLL Stacks of Ideas to solve this

and it can be easly solved ..
i've try out myself with making copy from the main data/UI/ROMAN folder
and paste it to play1Turn/data/UI and what should i say..it works fine now

***and after 5 Turns ...they don't showing up..its frustrating***
