Broken graphics

[Daniel Nilsson]

This is most certainly a problem with my java plug-in (Blackdown) but I'm posting it here anyway in case there is something that can be fixed in Rubicon. The bottom of the Rubicon interface looks a bit like if it is loaded from a truncated image file (see attached screenshot). It's no big deal, I have got used to it, but it makes the description text down there hard to read. And, yes, before you ask I have cleared my cache, deleted my .java directory and the problem is still there.
Here is my software:
Gentoo Linux (x86 stable)
Firefox 1.5.0.7
Java(TM) Plug-in Blackdown-1.4.2-03

Kevan, don't waste your time trying to solve this, I'm posting it mostly FYI.

Edit: I just tested with SUN's Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_08-b03 and the problem is not there, so it must be Blackdown that is borked.

Thanks, I'd heard a couple of mentions of this bug, but without many useful details. It's most likely a general issue with Processing's image loading, as I'm not doing anything particularly weird with the graphics - Rubicon was written in v0115, I think there's a newer version around these days, I'll try recompiling it in that, at some point.

Ah, ok. So it may be a bug in Processing that gets triggered in Blackdown, or the other way around.

I know this is not your solution. When I tried playing the game on other computers not releazing that I needed the latest java installed to play i got all messed up graphics is there a chance of including a link to the latest Java download, if you havent done this already. I have recomended the game to several friends that came across this problem a couple of weeks ago and they just gave up trying to play.

Good idea. Link added.
