EHT 1738 - Books now look normal again, but Text is messed up and star field animations are abnormal

I am having trouble with these FX in version 1738. Also, "Actions" are not working right. Not the way they used to work. At least not for me. Maybe no one else has any problem with them. You can do bog standard stuff with them but the tricks don't quite work anymore.

The text mess could be a scale issue. Text looked normal (for me) in 1737 but now looks like a mess in 1738. The animated star fields look sparse, like most of the effect is missing. It was missing like that in 1737 also, but was normal looking back in 1726.

I was happy as a clam with EHT until this "17" series. As always, the problems could be on my end, but I discovered the corrupted books in 1737 independently, and that was valid.

    @MageCatF4F best way to let cardi know this stuff is an in game mail on na if you can, a report on the esoui webpage for the app, or contacting me, as I can forward to him with screenshots. Do you have any screenies of the new issue?

    Here are screenshots before and after. It would help I guess if I had the right NAME for the animations - the INTERSTELLAR SPACE graphics are messed up - both of them.

    Text and INTERSTELLAR SPACE From Version 1726 (the way it should look):

    And The way it looks in Version 1738 (Note almost no stars and garbled text, the version ID appears in the panel)
    INTERSTELLAR SPACE, WARP DRIVE is messed up also as you can see - almost no stars

    Thank you.

    Also the "Cntrl click for small adjustments" function when positioning FX doesn't work for for me in two directions.
    It works in the other two directions.

    Is anyone else using EHT or am I the only one finding bugs?

    I'm finding my portal machine is screwing up, so that the text is all displaying at once, when they should be linked to a light source and also the text is much bigger than it should be. This looks similar to the screenshot above.

    1739 is the new update. Yes, text fixed.

    The oddities I hinted at above (in 1739) involve "sonar rings" and "whirlpool". When you place them they are invisible. Moving them even slightly left, right, up, down, forward or back unhides them.

    But when you zone out and then back in to your house they are invisible again, And, yes, if you move them at all they are unhidden again.

    No I am not drunk or taking hard drugs. I will not be looking for any more bugs because I want to play the game for a while. You seem to be close to the developers so if you feel like it ask them what the blazes is going on with the 17's? I have never seen such a cluster of weird bugs in EHT, and I have used it a lot almost since the start.

    The problem is cardi works for zos and therefore is a very busy guy! (As is everybody who works for zos… or any game company!) He used to do this alone, but when he was hired by zos, he had to bring on architectura, who is still learning. And cardi is mentoring them. I don’t know arch well but I know they are trying. But please have patience with eht - it’s a volunteer project done with love. Your patience and support of the program by reporting these problems does matter, to them and to me. I know it’s had trouble but I’m working on a beta test system with the two of them when things get a little less crazy in their world. I’ll keep everyone updated on that.

    Paintings become invisible also. Move them slightly and you are good until you leave the house.

    I was going to enter the JHartEllis contest but I should scrap that idea since everything in my entry depends on EHT.

    A beta test program would be super. Hope that gets going. Thanks for your good work.

    You can downgrade to a previous version that won't have any problems with fx for now

    Wait Stabbity ! This afternoon I went to my Chistmas House visiting, and I saw a perfect text. Yesterday it wasn't like that. Maybe Cardi worked on this :-)

    Yep. For personal use that's what I do. For contests what matters is the version the judge is using.

    Not a big deal. My idea was pretty stupid.

    On the contrary, the INTERSTELLAR SPACE seems to be still bugged. Very few stars and too much black.

    Actually cardi told me this morning that he was asked to reduce the stars by a user. His answer was in response to@magecatf4f ‘s complaint, just know he’s listening to us. Im not sure how he’ll answer this, though. Maybe two versions?

    That’s true, but if it’s jhart I would ask him to downgrade if the fx still aren’t working right. He’s totally cool like that. FYI @jhartellis if fx are buggy you might need to downgrade before contest.

    Besides, I’m sure your idea isn’t stupid. Enter!

    That's interesting. The reduced star count in interstellar is more realistic for say - earth night sky. Humans can see to about 6th magnitude (apparent mag). It looks kind of dull however.

    Viewed from the center of a globular star cluster the night sky would look more like the originals.

    Also from the standpoint of a space opera the fuller star count is appealing. That's subjective of course.
