intel screen: 60000 reward bounties cause erroneous text highlight
« on: October 22, 2014, 05:57:48 AM »
Bounties for 60000 credits end up having the 60 in "60000 credit" highlighted in yellow, instead of the usual "Offered for 60 days"

I've seen this as well. Also the 60 in "Offered for 60 days" part is NOT highlighted

Looks like it is present in any of the named bounty notifications that have 60 in the amount of money

A simple solution would be to highlight "60 days" instead of "60".

I'll admit it did perplex me for some time as to how such a bug could exist; imagining the implementation that could produce this bug made me shiver  ;D

I'd have just embedded the necessary formatting metadata into the text stream (probably as simple xml), and made the font renderer capable of parsing it. You know.... like html does it. ::)

Ah, it's one of those things where doing it "right" never quite seems worth it, and still doesn't, given all the other things to do that have more visible impact :) For reference, all it does is replace tokens in order, here, the order was wrong. If it gets to be any more a pain, I'll probably cave and write a simple parser, though. But then I'd probably want to convert everything to use it (basically, anywhere highlighted text appears in the game), and that wouldn't be any fun.

Incidentally it also shows up in 260,000 bounties. Same bug, obviously.
