| Summary | 0005570: Artifacts hold pictures of future artifacts OR change when not viewed | ||||
| Description | I had an artifact created, DIDN'T look at it's description. After another one created, I looked at both descriptions and found an image of the latter engraved in the former see http://tnypic.net/1a5b0.png for the first artifact see http://tnypic.net/03317.png for the legends artifact list | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | for the first possibility, not confirmed: get an artifact, look at it if there are possible future things engraved (like other artifacts) for the second possibility, not confirmed: get an artifact, DON'T look at it, duplicate the save, look in one save for the description, STILL DON'T look at it in the other, get there another artifact, then look at the description of the first | ||||

| related to | 0004554 | new | If an artifact container belongs to a stockpile, the stockpile label shows up in descriptions of art that depict the artifact | |
| related to | 0008124 | confirmed | Images can portray events the creator shouldn't know about |
|
|
Have you checked the game log to check the order of events? I suspect that the artifact list might not be sorted in any reasonable order. |
|
|
yes, the toy axe is on line 2080, the armor stand on line 4402 in my notepad. also, ingame the artifact list (via "l")lists the artifacts in the correct order, toy axe before armor stand |
|
|
just had the same thing again: old artifact: http://tnypic.net/a5b72.jpg new artifact: http://tnypic.net/b7c52.jpg on the bottom line same story as above, didn't check the artifacts for some time, and when I did, this was the outcome |
|
|
Version 0.34 seemingly updated the handling of art images to allow their generation to be deferred (see the devlog entry for 02/04/2012), and failing to actually view the artifact immediately after its creation is apparently causing the images to be chosen differently (since there's now more stuff to choose from). |
|
|
I can't test this properly, but is it possible for an engraving to detail an event in the future? |
|
|
dree12: no, it is not possible for the reason that the game needs to examine the contents of the art image in order to decide what character to display on the engraved tile. |
