3.1.2 colour bug
Matthew Vernon
The Metallic green centipede isn't appearing as green for me (console,
linux, 3.1.2), but rather as brown (same colour as a Jackal, for
example); FWIW, the village idiot does appear in green.
The only configuration I did was to move font-gcu.prf out of the way
(because I like #s for walls).
Cheers,
Matthew

I also note that Dark and Gloopy green potitions appear brown
(although Chartreuse is correct).

...and that Smeagol is also brown (that really threw me). What's wrong
with the colours?!?

I'm really not sure. What are you playing on and with which port?
Matthew Vernon
Linux rapun 2.6.18 #2 Sun Dec 21 22:14:50 GMT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
built with:
$ ./configure --enable-x11 --prefix=/var/newangband --with-setgid=games --disa
ble-sdl-mixer
As noted earlier, I renamed font-gcu.prf (as that was suggested as a
way to make 3.1.x have #s for walls)
I play on a text console (i.e. not under X); playing on X gets the
colours right.

Further to this, I've had a look at the "interact with colours" menu,
and colour 5 is described as r=0x00 g=0x80 b=0x40 (which is the same
as that colour is in a 3.0.6 build I've got knocking around), whereas
it looks the same as Umber (r=0x80, g=0x40, b=0x00).
FWIW, colours 5,7,15-26 all look the same brown colour, despite the
interact with colours menu giving them different rgb values.

I also tried it on my work desktop
Linux b144-mcv1-mlt 2.6.20-2-macpro-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 29 11:30:30 EDT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
built with ./configure --enable-x11 --with-no-install --disable-sdl-mixer
...and again, running on a text console, I see the same bug.

Thanks for the bug report - I'll bring it to the attention of d_m, who is
fortunately a dab hand with both main-gcu and colours.
Glad it works ok under X

Grand; I didn't relish trying to debug ncurses :) If you remember, a
prod as and when it's fixed so I can patch my install would be Very Nice.
Ta,
d_m
This is d_m... I have some more detailed questions about your color
issue:
1. What terminal emulator (or terminal) are you using? Linux console?
xterm? gnome-terminal? rxvt? aterm?
2. What is the value of $TERM? I would expect something like: xterm,
ansi, xterm-256color, xterm-color, rxvt, screen, linux
3. What is the output of infocmp?
4. If you try running with "other" TERM types, e.g. 'TERM=xterm
angband -mgcu' does it work? What happens for different ones?
5. FWIW, you don't need to move/delete font-gcu.prf to get # walls--if
you run "angband -mgcu -- -a" you will get them also. If you wouldn't
mind putting the file back, then try that and let me know what
happens?
6.It sounds to me like maybe you're using a bad $TERM/terminal
combination. Do other ncurses programs with color work in your setup
(e.g. vim, mutt, other *bands, etc)?

I observe this problem with two different configurations; I'm only
really interested in getting the Linux console working (since that's
what I primarily use).
i) linux console:
1. [linux console]
2. linux

in xterm, TERM=xterm-256color makes the colors seem correct. It does
Bad Things on the console if I try that (lots of flashing stuff).

I get # walls, but the colours are still broken.

Yep; ever single ncurses program I can lay my hands on works,
including every version of angband up to and including 3.1.1.1626;
it's only 3.1.2 that has this bug.
HTH,
d_m
you know as soon as I have a fix.
Thanks for catching this!

This is very odd. "If you remember" would ordinarily be followed by a
recapping of some prior piece of information, but here it seems to be
followed by a novel suggestion of something to do in the future.
Matthew Vernon
Maybe a re-phrasing would make my intent clear: "As and when it's
fixed, if you happen to remember this request, could you let me know"?
The Wanderer
It didn't seem odd to me; it's plainly a compaction of "if you remember
(to provide one by that point), a prod" et cetera.

Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
d_m
only showed itself if you played with 16 colors.
I just committed a fix to HEAD. If you have a checkout of the source
you should be able to update, rebuild and have the problem fixed.
Otherwise you'll need to wait for the next nightly build. Please let
me know when you notice it's fixed (when I did this it fixed it for
me).
Matthew Vernon
I've applied your patch to my 3.1.2 tree, and I now have 14 distinct
colours (which I assume is the desired effect on console).
Cheers,
d_m
> colours (which I assume is the desired effect on console).
Correct! Thanks for verifying this. I'm going to close the open ticket
about this.
