Re: Black rectangle over Map

There is a bug with UpdateMexOverlay, i think, because after upgrading mex from T1 up to T2 sometimes i get the black rectangler from left top corner.

--edited
And i don't get in mind why there is "or", but looks like there is should be "and"
if pos.x >=0 or pos.y >=0 then

--edited
Made a code like in attachment - one game on middle size map gone well. Will test it later again and again.

Same problem here. This patch worked for me. Thanks to yorick to finding, i only added destroying bad overlays.

Code:: uid = "ecbf6277-24e3-437a-b968-EcoManager-v7"

Code:: \EM\modules\mexes.lua

Code:: overlay.OnFrame = function(self, delta) if not unit:IsDead() then local worldView = import('/lua/ui/game/worldview.lua').viewLeft local pos = worldView:Project(unit:GetPosition()) if pos.x >=0 or pos.y >=0 then LayoutHelpers.AtLeftTopIn(overlay, worldView, pos.x - overlay.Width() / 2, pos.y - overlay.Height() / 2 + 1) else overlay.destroy = true overlay:Hide() --LOG('Bad position: ('..pos.x..'/'..pos.y..')') end else overlay.destroy = true overlay:Hide() end end

The coordinates are relative to screen position, not world position, so can't use them to find faults. I did some changes and I'm testing them out, so far no black boxes. Also idle engineers mod now puts labels on units you get when you get a base via full share.

I actually did some digging into this today, all those use same way of creating the overlay. Going to check logs when I happen to get the rectangle and try to fix it.

This happens with some combination of ui mods: Ui Party and eco manager and idle engies

Thanks Yorick! I'll attempt the disable, re-enable, and report back.

I am not entirely sure (i am not using Eco Manager anymore), but i did some testing half a year ago and if i remember right it was caused by the mex overlay. I cant test it right now to verify it though.

For the testing i did replaced the CreateMexOverlay function in modules/mexes.lua with: ( only inserted some logging)

Code:: function CreateMexOverlay(unit) --local worldView = import('/lua/ui/game/worldview.lua').viewLeft local overlay = Bitmap(GetFrame(0)) local id = unit:GetEntityId() overlay.id = unit:GetEntityId() overlay.destroy = false overlay:SetSolidColor('black') overlay.Width:Set(10) overlay.Height:Set(10) overlay.OnFrame = function(self, delta) if not unit:IsDead() then local worldView = import('/lua/ui/game/worldview.lua').viewLeft local pos = worldView:Project(unit:GetPosition()) if pos.x <=0 or pos.y <=0 then LOG('Bad position: ('..pos.x..'/'..pos.y..')') end LayoutHelpers.AtLeftTopIn(overlay, worldView, pos.x - overlay.Width() / 2, pos.y - overlay.Height() / 2 + 1) else overlay.destroy = true overlay:Hide() end end overlay.text = UIUtil.CreateText(overlay, '0', 10, UIUtil.bodyFont) overlay.text:SetColor('green') overlay.text:SetDropShadow(true) LayoutHelpers.AtCenterIn(overlay.text, overlay, 0, 0) overlay:SetNeedsFrameUpdate(true) return overlay end

Iirc i saw this LOG('Bad position: ('..pos.x..'/'..pos.y..')') in the logs with negative values for either x or y, which makes me think the actual bug is in the worldview.lua file, but i didnt investigate this further.

Was this issue ever solved? Was it concluded that it was in fact due to ecomanager ui mod and that it could be fixed by disabling/re-enabling the mod in-game?

@Ionic:
Do you use EcoManager?

I'm fairly certain this is caused by ecomanager and the mex overlay to be more specific.
As a fix you can make it go away by enabling and disabling the mexoverlay in the ingame options ( worked for me every time it happend to me).

I am having the same issue, click split screen and play on until it goes away for the time being.

Black rectangle over Map

2015-09-18T14:22:37+02:00

In middle of the game, I pressed no special key a big giant black rectangle appears over the map (see screenshot).

I tabbed out and in -> not helping
I was forced to play with splitscreen.

Replay of the game only desync after a com died, but not when the black rectangle appears
