[META] Mood icons misalignment with humanoid (staff / patient )
In CorsixTH there are several states where a mood icon doesn't align properly. Reported issues below should be used for reference of the issue, Any new mood inconsistencies should be added here instead (old issues will be closed and merged in)
-
[x] Patient mood icon misaligned in General Diagnosis ( #2018 )
-
[x] Pay rise icon not above handyman when sweeping ( #2017 )
-
[x] Mood icons do not transition smoothly through doors ( #1759 )
-
[x] Patient mood icon misaligned on Cast Remover ( #1758 )
There had been initial chatter about finding a new method to target where the mood sprite should be drawn. Generally, once that exists then these mood issues should disappear.
I believe some of these happen because mood displays over the object, in common cases they are patients/staff, but i suppose that on situation similar to #1758 next happens: patient walks into the machine, they become one whole object and now mood displays over the machine and not the patient.
~* 2660 this is also related to this issue~ mentioned it by mistake

That's likely indeed.
I have dusted my java data-file loader code a bit, created sprite sheets of the VSPR file, and dumped the first frame of animations 34 and 184, and linked the listed sprite numbers with the sprite sheets to get a description.
That resulted in
Animation 34, Doctor walk east.

if layers[0] == 0 then draw sprite 2503 at (-30, -30) // Shadow ?
if layers[0] == 0 then draw sprite 162 at (-30, -79) // Body + legs

Each line is an element. It checks a layer for a number and if they match the indicated sprite is painted. I wrote what the sprite showed behind the line.
As you can see, several head sprites are drawn, the position is likely the top-left corner of the sprite.
I am not sure where to go from here, but at least in theory it should be possible to recognize head sprites in an animation, and compute a position for a mood icon.
- [x] Comfy chair needs some focus
- [ ] As well as being dead. (I don't think the grim reaper is involved here, the mood was stuck there for some time already.)
- [ ] Оn using drink machine mood icon misaligned
v0.68.0.app and trunk master 9165870 too.

Edited the various reports to have a check-mark, so we can mark them as fixed.
