Big icons still could pop in and out of view suddenly in some cases.
BYOND Version:510.1330
Operating System:Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Web Browser:Chrome 49.0.2623.75
Applies to:Dream Seeker
Status: Resolved (510.1331)

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:

Icons that have a large pixel size (i.e., bigger than 128) disappear suddenly when walking away from them.

Sent a demo to Lummox JR as instructed.

I'm not able to reproduce this in your test project using version 510.1330. Is there a certain sequence of steps I should follow when moving around the world in order to see it?

You just walk away to the right of the icon and when they are near the border of the view they simply disappear.

I see it now. I had to reduce the stretch size because with letterboxing off it wasn't apparent.

They disappeared going north or east for me. Never south or west, weird.

EDIT: The above was only true for the webclient. They never disappeared on DS

If you're seeing a webclient issue with disappearing big icons, that needs a separate report.

Bug persists when walking diagonally, even in 510.1332

If this is for atoms with large transforms, you're probably referring to id:2056601. If not, I can take a fresh look at your demo case. (What was the name on that one again?)
I found your demo (IconBugTest), but I was not able to reproduce the issue you described in either 1332 or my debug build of 1333. Can you show me an image of what I should look for, or describe what part of the map I should walk to/from to see it? Starting in one corner and walking to another, I did not see anything wrong.

The same as this but while walking diagonally only, mostly northeast and southeast (right-up and right-down)
I tested this and did not see it, so I need more info.
In response to Lummox JR
Ok... What kind of info?

It is hapenning in turfs with large images as icons, like:

turf/NewTrees
layer=FLY_LAYER
Tree1
icon = 'bigtree.dmi'
When you say "large images", do you literally mean images (as in, the /image type) or do you simply mean a large icon?

The demo you sent me does not show this issue at all, so if you're seeing it elsewhere a new demo would help.
In response to Lummox JR
When I wrote 'large images' I meant large icons... I deleted the demo I sent you some time ago but you can set one of the buildings objs that has a .dmi file for it's icon as a turf (like I wrote above) and you should be able to see it happen... There isn't really anything differentiating the demo from my game that would make you be able to experience this only in one of them.
The demo works great for me in 1332 and in my pre-1333 tests. Even zoomed out so I can see everything, I'm not seeing the disappearances that I was before.

Are you positive you're using the right version for your own tests? And are you definitely on a 1332 server as well as client?
In response to Lummox JR
I'm positive my client and server byond version' is beta updated.

Have you tried doing this like bofore?

It happens at the border of the view, not of the screen. I use usr.client.view=15, world/view="32x32" and the map's icon-size=32. When walking northeast for example, when the icon used in the turf is near the end of the border, it goes blank.

Don't know what more I can say to help.
Right, I know this is at the border of the view; I merely mentioned needing to zoom out because when I was zoomed in, the original bug never appeared either because the edge of the map wasn't visible. When I set the zoom specifically to 50%, I was able to see the map edges and could see the icons disappearing.

But now, I can't see that happening at all in your original demo.

If you're seeing this in some other situation that isn't your demo (which must be the case, since you mentioned you deleted it), then I'll need a new demo that shows it in action. But I would also recommend checking in the Help | About... menu in Dream Seeker to see if you're truly using 510.1332, and likewise in Dream Daemon if you're hosting. This particular bug was client-side, but I won't rule out a bug could still exist on either end.
