Summary0002396: Dwarfmode map flashing
DescriptionIn my recent fort, the first in 08, I've encountered flashing mountain terrain in the dwarfmode mapview.
It is probably due to the snowstorms that turn the mountains white.

As this is pretty annoying AND Toady recently (just before 08 release) fixed some flashing issues, I thought I'd mention it.
Steps To ReproduceDon't know.
Probably have an environment that has mountainous and snowstorms.

Does this happen on every fortress that gets snow? Does the flicker show up if you record it to CMV (use the ';' key) and upload the recording to the DF Map Archive? http://mkv25.net/dfma/

I haven't repeated it as yet.
Even the affected fort no longer displays it, which suggests that it is how snowstorm is displayed (a feature?) as just before it was saved the weather cleared.
 
It is the triangular mountain tiles switching from grey to white and back bytheway.

Will record the next time it snows.

Are you talking about ramps?

Now that I've got the relationship right, I'm thinking since you're talking about snow and the like, it might be related to the snow flickering in 0000637.

@smjjames: No. the tiles used in the (rightmost) map part of the display for the mountain biome.

@Logical2u: you are right, had not found that report.

I've just checked the eventreports list and since spring arrived it has rained several times, but not snowed. Maybe I'm not gauging the speed of SDL correctly yet. So could be the flickering was during winter, but it seemed a short time ago since saving.

Oh that is important too I guess; this is the SDL version.

Finally have a recording of Mount Flash during an autumnal deluge.
