Title: Ship size inconsistency at tactical map
Post by: Gothars on August 21, 2012, 09:29:54 AM
Not very dramatic, but some ships seem to scale with zoom level and some don't. Here, for example, is a Paragon (scaling) vs. an Aurora (not scaling). At full zoom that leads to the impression that the capital ship is smaller than the cruiser.

Other ships I found to scale badly: Dominator, Eagle, Falcon, Venture, Onslaught, Astral, Doom.   The Apogee, like the Aurora, seems fine.

Some destroyers are also effected, but it is hard to notice due to their small sice: Enforcer, Gemini, Medusa

Furthermore the Conquest and Atlas  are always displayed to small, but there is no inconsistency and I assume it's just to fit in the square (but then again the Valkyrie doesn't care for it's square...)

I measured the pixels, and the paragon in your second screenshot is actually smaller than the first. O_O

That's the bug. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xECUrlnXCqk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xECUrlnXCqk)


I'm just puzzled that nobody noticed/reported this before (or did they?). I hope it's not just on my system. Still checking destroyers, you can help if you want.

The scaling behavior might be the same as the cappoint text scaling.

Your post said that it wasn't scaling (which I took to imply that it was staying the same); but it was, just in the wrong direction

You probably just misread that:
Here, for example, is a Paragon (scaling)

Ok, enough spam here.

Thanks for the report - fixed. That was some seriously old code there.
