[Bug][Beta .41] Ship parts invisible

from GalCiv3 Forums

I've been working on a ship, and saving it at various points each time with a different name. The last time I saved it, when I went to use the design, all the parts I had added since the previous save were invisible. They appear in the parts list at the bottom, but when selected their attributes (scale, rotation, offset) just show the values from the last visible piece I selected, or default values if I hadn't selected a visible piece prior.

Thank you for reporting this issue, I will add it to the list.

I experimented with this a little and it happens if I select a ship I designed and use the "Use Design" button, then save the new ship as a ship. If I do a new design it doesn't happen, even working from one of the pre-fab hulls, and it doesn't happen if I save as a template.

Altarian ships seem to do this with components.

New game, Altarian.  Designer, either Constructor M1 or Colony Ship M1, Use Design.

  • Now clicking on any of its components does not highlight anything.
  • Double-clicking on any Life Support in its components list deletes all of them.

Terran stock ship designs don't exhibit this problem.

After the new Beta the fonts went wonky again and all of the Drengin parts vanished, along with the entire 'Style' selection.

Raynman, I no longer have the save files. I de-installed the game until the next Beta comes out. If I have time I will re-install it and start a new game (previous removals and re-installations did not solve the problem).

 

The font issue I have now is the same broken, partly-invisible letters I had before the opt-in patch. I am assuming the fix in the opt-in had to be taken out and that a better solution is coming, so I'll wait for the next Beta and try again.
