August 3rd quickfix
Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2014 6:17 pm
Hi,
This is a quickfix for PON 1.04RC2. I have mixed news about it, so it should not be considered as official and is only personal work. It fixes the slowdown in the B and F4 screen (commerce) but on the other hand I now see that what is using a textgrid component is not displaying text. This mean you get no text in the population screen and no table data in the element detail window.
After looking some hours, I have not found the solution (the issue took me more time than fixing the slowdown), and as some of you may know, this work is done on my off hours. The problem is that PON can't be fixed in a few hours. So you are always bound to find issues. This one is quite annoying, because I guess some of you do use this population screen but baring a full rework, the bug won't be removed I fear. ps: you can get population need by hovering over a resource in the F4 screen.
In any case, here is the new executable. I ran some turns of a GC and the RJ war too. You might see changed things because it is basically using the latest code base, including improvements in AI. I'll try doing a readme after my return.
As for the interface bug in the population screen, I'll try returning to it once End all Wars is out, probably on my off time too though, so don't expect a great pace.
My apologize for the long delay and this half baked fix.

EDIT:
It is confirmed that a display bug has been introduced that prevent seeing the portraits in the Element Detail window, and that this same bug will make the regions list not listing anything.
It is confirmed that the commerce screens are now faster and that the immortal bug is gone.
So choose your poison. With such reduced team (in fact this QF was done on a rainy Sunday), it was going to happen. But we will return to PON with a quick fix or full patch one day!
