Carpets: Orange No Matter What
Introduction
In the world of ScavStation, carpets are an essential part of any player's home decor. However, a recent issue has been reported where carpet tile items are displaying incorrect icons and colors, resulting in an orange-colored carpet being placed on the ground, regardless of the actual color. This article will delve into the details of this issue, its effects on gameplay, and the steps to reproduce it.
Description of the Issue
The carpet tile items in ScavStation have undergone a change in their appearance, with the icon now resembling rustic carpeting rather than the original tile sprite. Furthermore, when a player holds a carpet tile item in their hand, the handheld sprite does not accurately depict the number of items in the stack. The most striking issue, however, is that when a player places a carpet tile item on the ground, it always takes on the appearance of an orange carpet, regardless of the actual color.
Difference between Expected and Actual Behavior
The expected behavior of carpet tile items is that they should revert to their old handheld sprites, which accurately depicted the number of items in the stack. Additionally, when placed on the ground, the carpet should take on the correct color, rather than defaulting to orange. It's worth noting that only tile items are affected, as carpet tiles spawned through the Create Turf command will spawn with the correct colors.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:
- Obtain carpet tile items: The easiest way to obtain carpet tile items is to order them through cargo or spawn them through the game panel.
- Hold the carpet tile item: Holding the carpet tile item in your hand will reveal the issue with the handheld sprites.
- Place the carpet tile item on the ground: Placing the carpet tile item on the untiled plating will result in an orange-colored carpet being placed, regardless of the actual color.
