Closed Dis ain't cool.

Frankly, if there are just a small number of you having this issue with assets, you should delete the assets directory *completely* and then Verify to redownload them all, or compare mods (should you be using mods).

I haven't really done any decorating since the last patch.

 

You know, you're saying "try this first" or "try toying with it" but you haven't actually told me what it is I'm supposed to be trying or toying with.

 

That's because he doesn't actually know what he's talking about. player.config is not the solution.

 

Well alrighty then. I'll try what RvLesh said.

 

did it fix it?

 

Unfortunately not. The problem remains. Which means it probably has naught to do with anything in the assets folder, unless something outside of it causes the problem beforehand.

 

Just for reference, the image offsets are defined in .object files, specifically the line:

Code:

"imagePosition" : [-16, 0],

where (in this example) -16 is the x offset and 0 is the y offset. So for a 32 pixel image, that would put the cursor at the bottom-middle when placing it.

 

Wait... maybe we're misunderstanding the problem.

Is this a display issue, or can you not place the items?

The original screenshots aren't clear.

 

Both. Or neither.
It also happens on floors, but not ceilings.

 

I could be wrong, but aren't those lights supposed to be full circles instead of half circles?

 

Unless there's suddenly a bug in the engine for this particular thing, I think it would be a bug with the object file @Starbound/assets/objects/floran/floranlight
If you feel like messing with it you can, the positions affected are apparently right1 and ground1
ed: if not I'll mess with it in a little while.

 

They become half circles when placed against walls or floors. That part isn't a bug.

 

That screenshot makes a lot more sense.

Was in the middle of writing... yes, the imagePosition on those two aren't correct, and should be changed to match left1 and ceiling1, respectively.

I thought I saw one of the devs mention that a number of these were accidentally screwed up in the last patch.

 

Ah, I didn't realize. I'd always assumed the other half was underneath the wall/floor. In that case it looks like the game is thinking it's half under a wall/floor when it's actually just next to it.

what?

 

That's the correct .object for the floranlight

 

Open Starbound/assets/objects/floran/floranlight/floranlight.object in a text editor like notepad or notepad++
Select all, hit backspace, and paste in the contents of the code block in my post.
Actually I can probably make it easier...
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1053652/floranlight.object
Save it and replace your original.

 

Just bumping this, because the problem still exists.
