[Rails-devel] Tokens misplaced on tile #59?

[Bill R. <ro...@gm...>]

Hello,

Am I the only one who is seeing tokens misplaced on tile #59.  (Actually, it seems to be any station with position x5y for arbitrary x and y.)  Specifically, they appear one 60 degree rotation from the correct place.  I've attached a savegame that shows this for the Erie's home hex.  This also appears in the 1830 Reading variant, with the preprinted PRR and the RDG home tiles.

I have spent some time this evening trying to find the problem, but I am largely at a loss.  Using git bisect I am able to track the offending commit (at least as far as 1830 goes) to commit 0c69cf, which introduced the Coalfields variant.  Digging further, the cities on tile #59 were at positions  052 and 352 before this commit, but at positions 152 and 452 following the commit.

This, one would think, could be easily found in the data files, or in the code that generates data/Tiles.xml from data/TileDictionary.xml.  I have looked at the previous commit that modified Tiles.xml: I can see the change in tile #59 (and presumably other tiles also), but I cannot find any changes to the tile database or the program that generates Tiles.xml that look like they would cause this change.

I can (and will) continue to try to find the source of the problem, as clearly hand-editing the generated Tiles.xml files is not a solution, but I thought I would ask to see if anyone knows how/why such a change might have been introduced.

The two attached savegames show the problem (at least on my end).  The 1830 savegame has the Erie's home token out of place, and the 1830R savegame has the RDG's token (among others) in the wrong place.  If you are checking out old code, note that only the 1830 savegame is likely to work, as the 1830 Reading savegame requires fixes that were only released in Rails 1.5.
