Problems in loading old style landscapes non 8 panel

[barrykgerdes]

It is no longer possible to correctly load old style landscapes that do not have 8 or 16 panels. The effect is to rotate the landscape to a different rotation angle and fail to load a ground panel correctly. The first problem of rotation angle is easily corrected in the landscape.ini file but the second problem of ground loading is not.

I never noticed the problem because I had not checked any of the odd numbered panel landscapes until build 4814

The problem occured after changes at build 4598. The change at this point included landscape.cpp and hpp. My testing involved re-building build 4597 which worked in the old manner and build 4598 which had the problem.

This may have some bearing on the problem

See the duplicate bug #685220 for a description of the cause of the rotation.

Hi

I have checked out the non 8 panel landscapes that I made and they all now work as previously. I have also made 8 panel landscapes of the same landscapes with some loss of resolution that is hardly noticed.
