Grotesque Idol Wood Texture Preview Mistake

[Dakkan]

Only saw this with a search and wasn't the same issue as this.

For grotesque idols the texture preview shown during building doesn't match the outcome, in regards to the secondary wood texture.

Aside:

wood all has an associated bark texture and internal color, and I use the word "bark" and "internal" instead of block and board because there are examples of blocks applying both the bark and internal color. Check it out using a block for the log cabin vs stonestead previews.


This bug report isn't about this inconsistency, but the incorrect preview displayed specifically for the grotesque idol.

But lets do a real example:

Primary:

That is certainly nice, I like blue after all.

Secondary:

Heck yeah, more blue is always good.

Now, using a sketchpad on a preexisting idol's secondary wood texture (primary wood was cypress in this case) and a piece of beaver salvage, we see:


Which isn't the same as the build menu's preview. So minimum, there is an inconsistency here between the two preview methods. But lets follow through and build it now, to be thorough.


So yeah, that's all I got. Build menu preview shows wood interior texture when the game (and sketchbook) actually applies the bark texture.

Tested this on both vanilla and amber clients.

Literally unplayable.

i too did this same thing, i built my idols with beaver salvage and they turned out less then expected.

Oh dear. I'll help you remove them if you like.
