Aliens do not show up in photos

Post by AVagrant » 23 Aug 2016, 02:08

Bug Description:
Both live and dead aliens do not show up in photos from cameras.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Grab any camera.
2. Snap a photo of a living or dead xeno.
3. Take a gander at vampire aliens.

This is a really minor thing, but it'd be worth taking a look at.

My guess is whatever renders the photographs in ss13 is calling wrong or nonexistent sprites to render the photo.

The aliens still show up in the written description of the photograph.

It's a minor thing obviously, but it would help with RP and such.

I think this is actually an issue with the sprite size. I took snapshots as a CL and I noticed that only T1-T2 xenos appeared, while T3s failed to appear in any picture size.

That's interesting. A dead ancient runner never showed up for me on the camera. I guess that sprite is larger?

If memory serves correctly, the xenos I photographed were Young, so upgrading can possibly be a factor.

FYI photos have arcane and extremely complicated code that causes them to be non-functional with about half of everything on the server

This is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon, if ever, especially to allow taking photos
