Android: Netrunner - Using Game Setup causes entire board to disappear

[leshrac55]

This didn't used to be an issue for me, but seemingly since the latest version of OCTGN whenever I load a deck with the Android: Netrunner module and then "Set Up" it causes the whole board to disappear leaving only a view of the background image (all of the "rectangles" where cards go are no longer visible, nor are any cards that are supposedly being played or dragged to the board).

db0 has been helping me look into this with debug versions and we discovered that it seems to take place after the identity is placed onto the board. While it tries to add it to the correct position, the "actual position" is reported as "4.3e-311,4.3e-311".

[db0]

This is the code that is running behind this:

      x, y = 125, 240
      identity.moveToTable(x,y)
      x1,y1 = identity.position
      confirm("Identity supposedly Placed at {},{}\n\nActual Position is {},{}".format(x,y,x1,y1))

This is affecting only this person. I have no idea why the moveToTable b0rks.

Because it is zooming out so much to place the card, it gives the impression that the board "disappears"

[leshrac55]

To clarify, while it is only happening to me, if another user is in the game, he also sees the issue occur when I go to "Set Up" (the table disappears for him as well).

[db0]

Yeah, this is normal. You're trying to place a card away from the visible location, so the table zooms out for both players so that they can both see the new card and the existing ones as well.

[db0]

In IRC another person mentioned having the same issue. This time in MTG, so the issue seems to be game agnostic.

<therethere> im having a weird problem
<therethere> i reinstall OCTGN
<therethere> and now each time i host a game
<therethere> when we start to play, well when i cast the first card
<therethere> all the board disappear.
<therethere> and the other player cant see the card either
<therethere> but when the other player start the game instead of me
<therethere> i can see all the cards fine
<therethere> when is my turn, i cast a land and then all the board disappear again and there is no way to get back the cards
<therethere> i tried to zoom out zoom in etc dont solve the problem...
<therethere> when i install, i login, install the game with the o8g file
<therethere> then i install the sets, with the o8s file
<therethere> then i add the patch o8p file
<therethere> then i host and all that happened... :(
<therethere> i was able to play OCTGN couple of days ago...

[therethere]

confirmed. still cant play. i was able to play the game before server goes down one day ago, then it cames up and now this issue is happening.

I think it's related with my installation of OCTGN cause if the others players start the game all works smoothly...

I reinstalled the game again, and to confirm, when i apply the patch it loads with any line appear on the window, dont know if it's normal...

[leshrac55]

therethere: If the other person hosts then you can play the whole game without an issue? In the posted IRC transcript it sounds like the problem still comes up when it gets to your turn, or is that not the case? I'm fairly certain for my own issue that I still had the issue occur even with another player hosting, but I could test this again.

[therethere]

yes, even with other host the issue still happens, only when it comes to my turn.... :S jesus, im tired of reinstalling the game and figure out why this is happen only to me. (my friends can play with no problems)

[therethere]

hmmm i remembered one thing now!

not sure if there is anything to do with this or something, but i installed android netrunner before started having this problem!

[brine]

I will clear the air now, reinstalling any of the files won't change anything, and reinstalling multiple times DEFINITELY won't. Whatever the case it's more likely than anything else to be a bug in OCTGN somewhere which will need to be traced

[brine]

ok I can confirm this is happening on my home PC (win7) but NOT on my laptop (vista). I tried a very simple card.moveToTable(0,0) and it still causes it. So whatever's happening is DEFINITELY originating from that one python call.

[therethere]

i can confirm that too. im still able to play on my Windows Xp pc, but not on Windows 8. so it's related to how Windows 7 and 8 works with the code right?

[db0]

Yeah, it's fine for me on Win7 x64. It must be caused by something else.

[kellyelton]

Actually, I tried the chess game on 8 and none of the tokens showed up now that I think of it, but I just assumed I had the wrong version...but it's looking like it's possible that windows 8 may have some weird bug or something.

[therethere]

im not sure if it's windows 8 related, cause it's happening to brine on windows 7 and to leshrac55

[brine]

I dont think the chess game uses moveToTable code (pretty sure it's exclusively table.create() ), it looks like the coordinate system cuz the card gets placed in exponential x and y values regardless of where it's supposed to go

[therethere]

are you sure if it's a problem of the code itself? cause the rest of the people are able to play with the present code with no problems...

i'm wondering on a possible OS/installation bug...

[brine]

It worked perfectly fine before the last updates so that's why I'm leaning more toward a random bug in the code somewhere. Plus it only seems to be linked specifically to moveToTable

[leshrac55]

Yes, it worked fine in a previous version. Which one was the last to work I'm not exactly sure, but I think the previous installer I have is for .14.

But it's working for the rest of people with the newer version, right? Im not seeing any people complaining...

[kellyelton]

None of that stuff was changed though. All I did was add another security exception, so scripts can have a little less restrictions...no gameboard code was changed or anything.

[leshrac55]

I don't know how many people it's happening to. I thought I was the only one but then some more people were able to confirm it. I didn't change anything else and it doesn't sound like other people did either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling OCTGN, .NET4, and vc++ redistributable more times than I can remember and nothing seems to fix it.

i already did that too, and i can indeed play on other versions of windows like XP and Vista. Didnt tried on 7.

[therethere]

is it related to the change of installation folder to documents instead of program files x86/x64?

[kellyelton]

It should work now, if anyone can confirm this.

[brine]

yep all good on my end :)

[leshrac55]

Out of town now so won't be able to check on my win7 machine. I'll check WinXP later, though it may work there regardless. :)

Out of curiosity, what was the issue?
