GUI building placement bug?
« on: January 04, 2018, 10:30:31 pm »

I am LOVING masterwork so far (just a year into my first game with dwarves).

One bug i notice with the interface is the building templates don't show whilst choosing the area in which to place a building.

For example a bridge - when i select bridge from the menu and try to select its size, the flashing template doesn't show up or shows up in a different place - not under the cursor - and they don't move with the cursor either This makes placing things like bridges and farm plots very difficult because i have to more or less guesstimate where to put them - and count the number of times i press umkh to select the size. It usually goes wrong.

Am i doing something wrong?

Probably: yes, you're doing something wrong. This problem has never been reported before and it really sounds strange. Are you by chance trying to place it with your mouse?   ;D
Honestly I can't really immagine what your problem might be. If you can't find a solution i suggest posting a screenshot. Someone will eventually figure it out.

Sounds like either the building-plan plugin is on, or the mouse interferes, possibly due to an active mousequery plugin from dfhack.

I am trying to place the cursor with my mouse yes. That works fine in regular DF but in Masterwork it seems to be buggy.

I'm playing with default settings i think. Any idea where i should look to tr yo fix this? (it could be something in the masterwork launcher settings?)

Thanks for the replies

I have never tried to place buildings with my mouse in this or previous additions. Until you find something to fix, it might just be much simpler to use you arrows like us peasants lol.
