Bug #4987
Bug synopsis:	Dissapearing altars
Reported against:	ADOM 1.1.1
Operating system:	Windows XP
Submitted on:	2003-12-15, 02:16:51
Submitted by:	Chris Munn
Bug state:	in progress
Bug description:	I have noticed that when teleporting with teleportation control or with the look command, if the cursor moves over an altar that altar dissapears from view (although it is still there) until it is redrawn latter.
Bug evaluation:	No evaluation so far.
Comments (114):	hmmm.... no problem there with me, maybe it is because it is because the tp control and look cursor look sorta kinda like the altar that you are just getting confused -- Jonas (2004-12-20, 02:33:25) I have the same thing happening. -- Yin (2005-01-20, 22:16:39) -- Note from Thomas Biskup: One or more comments for this report have been banned because they contain HTML code and this website recently has been spammed by idiots trying to swamp the website with advertisements.

When you pass overtop of one with the cursor, the underscore for moving around basically becomes the altar (or vice versa). I've noticed this effect when a PC is invisible and hasn't got 'see invisible', too: walk over the altar and have it 'follow' him because of the underscore. Fairly minor bug, but it can be annoying because you can't see the color of the altar properly. Fortunately, you can tell where it was because there is now a big black space in the room. ;) -- Kurasu (2006-11-15, 22:32:28) rcynfdwhs czuvdw pqiurkxh ueglqczrk vmcj mtjv uqejmalwk -- qnfhgpl@mail.com (2007-06-08, 03:37:06) Hello!

The nature of the game is that if something moves then it is no longer where it started from, so when you move the underscore, the \"alter\" (represented by a white/grey/black underscore) dissapears until another character moves over it. Thus, not a bug, just an interesting lesson in how stupid computers are. Also if I am not mistaken, this would require quite a few lines of code to \"fix\" this and whats the point? Nothing is bothered from this, so stop complaining. -- Curak (2008-02-05, 20:06:04) Hi! pkeqc It sites good woman health: iucsiq |3||r||1|| @] -- Unknown (2008-02-06, 01:50:18) Hi! bijzf It sites good adult sexy: otmirs |3||r||1|| @] -- Unknown (2008-02-13, 02:13:20) haaxz It sites good, but it seems themes are similar: bezonu -- Unknown (2008-03-20, 10:40:50) fcjsf It site good, but it seems themes are similar !! rjaksq -- Unknown (2008-04-13, 02:50:59) urvin It site good, but it seems themes are similar !! kuwkqr -- Unknown (2008-04-22, 06:03:10)

Thomas Biskup recommends: XBox Console "Yes, I confess it - Microsoft has brought me back into console gaming. And there's a simple reason for it: I don't like hardware, I don't like fiddling with systems and I like to take it easy. The XBox system IMHO is as easy to use as its get. You have a built-in hard disc and never have to think about extensions to be able to save games (memory sticks, yikes :-P ), the games are great, the graphics are great and the price is ok. I have spent many hours playing Star Wars Battlefront and Fable and intend to continue doing this. So for me this is a safe bet and I surly will by the XBox 360 as soon as it is available. Of you want a simple console system with great games you can't go wrong here." More details about this item can be found here: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany. Please support this website by going to Amazon through one of the links on this website (if you want to shop at Amazon at all that is ;-). It doesn't cost you any surcharge, but provides me with ADOM-related income. Thanks! A complete list of my reading recommendations is available here.
