Description

Pretty much what the subject states; if the player is under the effect of an Blur Artefact or Shadow Sphere, the player's arrow on the automap becomes transparent instead of the usual white.

History

The automap apes vanilla:

linuxdoom-1.10 source, am_map.c line 1242

void AM_drawPlayers(void)
{
    int        i;
    player_t*    p;
    static int     their_colors[] = { GREENS, GRAYS, BROWNS, REDS };
    int        their_color = -1;
    int        color;

    if (!netgame)
    {
    if (cheating)
        AM_drawLineCharacter
        (cheat_player_arrow, NUMCHEATPLYRLINES, 0,
         plr->mo->angle, WHITE, plr->mo->x, plr->mo->y);
    else
        AM_drawLineCharacter
        (player_arrow, NUMPLYRLINES, 0, plr->mo->angle,
         WHITE, plr->mo->x, plr->mo->y);
    return;
    }

    for (i=0;i<MAXPLAYERS;i++)
    {
    their_color++;
    p = &players[i];

    if ( (deathmatch && !singledemo) && p != plr)
        continue;

    if (!playeringame[i])
        continue;

    if (p->powers[pw_invisibility])
        color = 246; // *close* to black    <------ see
    else
        color = their_colors[their_color];

    AM_drawLineCharacter
        (player_arrow, NUMPLYRLINES, 0, p->mo->angle,
         color, p->mo->x, p->mo->y);
    }

}

Interesting; the automap arrow doesn't change colour in 1.9 in Dosbox.

  • Tags set to Gameplay, Automap, Doom
  • Tracker changed from Bug to Feature
  • Subject changed from Invisibility affects player automap arrow to Invisibility affects player automap arrow (option)
  • Category set to Vanilla emulation
  • Priority changed from Normal to Low

Since this appears to be a purposeful feature of linuxdoom, I'm converting this to a vanilla compatibility feature request.
