(Bug?) Cant place start location on the right of map

Post by HaunterV »

I can't seem to place a start location on any square of the right 6 columns of blocks. I can put the start location anywhere else just not the right 6 entire columns of the map.

Found out how to reproduce this bug:

It only happens when the map doesn't fit into the window and scroll bars appear. The smaller the visible portion of the map, the more of it is blocked of for placing player starts. The accessible portion seems to be the same size as the visible region.

This also applies vertically: if you shrink the editor window so that you need to scroll vertically, the lowest part of the map is blocked off for placing player starts.

So, as a workaround, make sure the whole map is visible and scroll bars disappear, by maximizing the window and enlarging the map view.

I also noticed that the scroll bar does not scroll down enough if you fill it with events to allow you to change from a three option activation type.
For instance with the selection of
Activate/deactivate/any
and a full inspector, scrolling down as far as I can does not allow me to select the last option (any)

I have also reproduced the "can't place start location" bug, exactly as NULL describes.

A workaround (other than resizing windows/panels) is to place it near as you can where you want it, then just select it and move it into position with WASD keys.

There is a workaround for the selections you cant seem to reach in any view (ie: too many connectors, etc. so options are just out of click range). start in regular/small window, make selection tab come up, then maximize the window, and you will be able to select what you need.
