Floating lines (above heads) not cleared between maps #401

Open cambragol opened 1 month ago

cambragol commented 1 month ago

I may remember this being the case in original Fallout 2, however, it is certainly happening with Fallout 2 CE.

I tested in Fallout 2 and in Fallout Sonora, and in both games floating lines above NPCs heads are not cleared when moving between map screens.

Often this is not noticeable, as there are not so many NPCs near an exit grid. However in certain locations it is very noticeable. An example would be the Shark Club in New Reno. Enter the casino, wait for lines to appear over NPCs heads, then go upstairs. The lines will appear upstairs too.

Is this a bug? Does not seem like ideal behavior.

Can you test in vanilla FO2 and with sfall 4.4 and compare the behavior?

cambragol commented 1 month ago

I would, however, I can't run Fallout 2 on my macOS without Fallout 2 CE.

Tried many things, but never really worked.

phobos2077 commented 1 month ago

Isn't there wine for MacOS or something? Or VM.

cambragol commented 1 month ago

Yes, but it doesn't work. Or work well. VM doesn't work either. I am on M1 chip.

cambragol commented 1 month ago

It's kind of moot though. The behavior is buggy. Original behavior or not.

phobos2077 commented 1 month ago

It's just that I never noticed this in the years of playing vanilla or sfall. So I was curious if it's something CE introduced or some missing vanilla bug fix from sfall (there are MANY).

cambragol commented 1 month ago

Can you test it in the location I suggested with original or sfall versions?

Lexx2k commented 1 month ago

This was fixed in Sfall a couple years ago. So yes, in vanilla the floating text remains visible if you switch map elevations.
