[bug] LH 1.5 Cannot Rotate Building Placement

from Elemental Forums


Good Morning

It's been mentioned several times on these threads already, but I have not seen it specifically on it's own thread. So that it does not get lost amongst all the other fixes and additions in the eventual 1.6 update, I'm posting it here....but I'd really, really love to see this fixed. (I was surprised to note how much the lack of this annoyed me to the point where I've set aside LH until it's fixed)

When placing buildings, we used to have the ability to rotate them for asthetical purposes. Since LH 1.5, this function has been disabled.

Please re-enable.

Thank you.

shameless bump.

Yes I know I don't have any saves or error files, etc. However this one has been experienced by many so if SD is not experiencing this bug, drop a line and I'll see if I can provide evidence....

Building rotation and building placement have been buggy for quite some time now.

And there seems to be some talk from Frogboy of eliminating it altogether, to allow for fancier graphics. Might as well give up something that doesn't often work right, for something that looks better. Either that, or fix it fully.

I think Frogboy was referring to the rotating of the entire map view ... not the rotating of the buildings on the tiles.

 

I've found it very annoying that I can't make my cities look properly connected and oriented.

I'm going to bump this.  This broke somewhere between 1.4 and now.  We are no longer able to rotate buildings.  We are wondering if there is plans to fix this in the future.

I presume you are playing 1.6 now?

If so, the bump is definitely needed.

 

Oh well....guess I'm still going to play version 1.4 .... IF steam would let me install an earlier version....which they don't....so I'm screwed till 1.7 now...
