Custom Foundation Creater

[Nikademis Von Hisson]

I was trying to create a custom foundation using the FC inside the ARES documentation with the latest version of Google Chrome. The foundation did not work. The code using GC & FC.

Foundation = Custom
Foundation.X = 5
Foundation.Y = 5
Foundation.0 = 0,-3
Foundation.1 = 1,-3
Foundation.2 = 2,-3
Foundation.3 = 3,-3
Foundation.4 = 4,-3
Foundation.5 = 0,-3
Foundation.6 = 1,-3
Foundation.7 = 2,-3
Foundation.8 = 3,-3
Foundation.9 = 4,-3
Foundation.10 = 0,-3
Foundation.11 = 1,-3
Foundation.12 = 2,-3
Foundation.13 = 3,-3
Foundation.14 = 4,-3
Foundation.15 = 0,-3
Foundation.16 = 1,-3
Foundation.17 = 2,-3
Foundation.18 = 3,-3
Foundation.19 = 4,-3
Foundation.20 = 0,-3
Foundation.21 = 1,-3
Foundation.22 = 2,-3
Foundation.23 = 3,-3
Foundation.24 = 4,-3
FoundationOutline.Length = 24
FoundationOutline.0 = -1,-3
FoundationOutline.1 = 0,-3
FoundationOutline.2 = 1,-3
FoundationOutline.3 = 2,-3
FoundationOutline.4 = 3,-3
FoundationOutline.5 = 4,-3
FoundationOutline.6 = 5,-3
FoundationOutline.7 = -1,-3
FoundationOutline.8 = 5,-3
FoundationOutline.9 = -1,-3
FoundationOutline.10 = 5,-3
FoundationOutline.11 = -1,-3
FoundationOutline.12 = 5,-3
FoundationOutline.13 = -1,-3
FoundationOutline.14 = 5,-3
FoundationOutline.15 = -1,-3
FoundationOutline.16 = 5,-3
FoundationOutline.17 = -1,-3
FoundationOutline.18 = 0,-3
FoundationOutline.19 = 1,-3
FoundationOutline.20 = 2,-3
FoundationOutline.21 = 3,-3
FoundationOutline.22 = 4,-3
FoundationOutline.23 = 5,-3

I posted my code up and after a chat with Graion Dilach, he told me that the code was wrong and said there some issues with the FC.

Graion Dilach:

That code is totally wrong. It appears that the CFG you used is broken. Which browser and which generator version? I mean, do you use the CFG attached to the Documentation, or you use the one available from the Ares site (That one is known to be broken)

 So I tried using Firefox and got the following code:

Foundation = Custom
Foundation.X = 7
Foundation.Y = 7
Foundation.0 = 0,0
Foundation.1 = 1,0
Foundation.2 = 2,0
Foundation.3 = 3,0
Foundation.4 = 4,0
Foundation.5 = 5,0
Foundation.6 = 6,0
Foundation.7 = 0,1
Foundation.8 = 1,1
Foundation.9 = 2,1
Foundation.10 = 3,1
Foundation.11 = 4,1
Foundation.12 = 5,1
Foundation.13 = 6,1
Foundation.14 = 0,2
Foundation.15 = 1,2
Foundation.16 = 2,2
Foundation.17 = 3,2
Foundation.18 = 4,2
Foundation.19 = 5,2
Foundation.20 = 6,2
Foundation.21 = 0,3
Foundation.22 = 1,3
Foundation.23 = 2,3
Foundation.24 = 3,3
Foundation.25 = 4,3
Foundation.26 = 5,3
Foundation.27 = 6,3
Foundation.28 = 0,4
Foundation.29 = 1,4
Foundation.30 = 2,4
Foundation.31 = 3,4
Foundation.32 = 4,4
Foundation.33 = 5,4
Foundation.34 = 6,4
Foundation.35 = 0,5
Foundation.36 = 1,5
Foundation.37 = 2,5
Foundation.38 = 3,5
Foundation.39 = 4,5
Foundation.40 = 5,5
Foundation.41 = 6,5
Foundation.42 = 0,6
Foundation.43 = 1,6
Foundation.44 = 2,6
Foundation.45 = 3,6
Foundation.46 = 4,6
Foundation.47 = 5,6
Foundation.48 = 6,6
FoundationOutline.Length = 32
FoundationOutline.0 = -1,-1
FoundationOutline.1 = 0,-1
FoundationOutline.2 = 1,-1
FoundationOutline.3 = 2,-1
FoundationOutline.4 = 3,-1
FoundationOutline.5 = 4,-1
FoundationOutline.6 = 5,-1
FoundationOutline.7 = 6,-1
FoundationOutline.8 = 7,-1
FoundationOutline.9 = -1,0
FoundationOutline.10 = 7,0
FoundationOutline.11 = -1,1
FoundationOutline.12 = 7,1
FoundationOutline.13 = -1,2
FoundationOutline.14 = 7,2
FoundationOutline.15 = -1,3
FoundationOutline.16 = 7,3
FoundationOutline.17 = -1,4
FoundationOutline.18 = 7,4
FoundationOutline.19 = -1,5
FoundationOutline.20 = 7,5
FoundationOutline.21 = -1,6
FoundationOutline.22 = 7,6
FoundationOutline.23 = -1,7
FoundationOutline.24 = 0,7
FoundationOutline.25 = 1,7
FoundationOutline.26 = 2,7
FoundationOutline.27 = 3,7
FoundationOutline.28 = 4,7
FoundationOutline.29 = 5,7
FoundationOutline.30 = 6,7
FoundationOutline.31 = 7,7

Graion Dilach said the 2nd code looks right and suggested I report this. I am assuming to here.

##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE #####
Tried different Custom Foundations using Google Chrome and the Foundation Creator and none of them worked. To my units the building appeared not to be there and walked through it when trying to capture or occupy it. Took the foundation code out, knowing the building look would screwed up. Despite the screwed up appearance the building functioned as it should.

##### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION #####
Using Firefox the foundation creator worked as it should.

The CFG behaves differently in different web browsers.

After a preliminary analysis, it looks like we're running into this https://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=42a941ce10e16bbb&hl=en | https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=68796&can=1&q=rowIndex&colspec=ID%20Stars%20Pri%20Area%20Feature%20Type%20Status%20Summary%20Modified%20Owner%20Mstone%20OS problem. iow, it's not an issue with the generator, it's an issue with Chrome.

I'll see what can be done. For the moment, my reply must be "get a better browser".

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

I see. I thought it's a browser-related problem, I thought it's better to be a known issue than an unknown one.

Maybe Mirage should add a note about it to the manual.

[Nikademis Von Hisson (nikademis-von-hisson)]

Well, I liked Chrome with the way it can organize favorites, just found out from a friend that FireFox might have a similar style thing. I run both browsers but from now think I'll run FireFox.

I have a friend that knows php, sql, scripting coding, plus other forum/website stuff. I can mention this to him. I don't know if there is anything that can be done since it just might be a browser issue unable to fix or work around. But he might know of something. I'm gonna ask him.

[Steel Mirage (steel-mirage)]

To be clear, this bug come up when using the online foundation generator, but not when using the downloaded program correct?

If true, then maybe just disable the online program for chrome users and redirect to a download?

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

No, this bug crops up with latest version of Chrome, no matter which CFG is used.

NVH: Read the two links Ren posted. This IS browser-related and even acknowledged by Google. Also that organizing favorites thing originates from Opera (Speed Dial) so... :P
