#visual bug while in diplo

Maybe Andreas testing cosmetics 🤔
Andreas be like let's see if they notice.. they will for sure post in bug reports (bugged because both players don't see the purple ship)
Now we got em in the bug thread just in case

Did the purple transport jump in separately to the other transports?
they all jumped in separate
Ok, did the player's Diplo gate status change before the purple one jumped in
IE, did they end Diplo with another player before that TS jumped in
no idea, ask kaseysmask
What I suspect happened (and I can test in 8 days once I get two diplo gates, but someone with two free Diplo gates can test)
Yellow star visitor colour is based on their Diplo gate index (and how many diplo gates they have, and are active)
My suspicion is that when you jumped in with green, they had 3 or 2 diplo partners. They then ended one before your final TS jumped in.
When that TS jumped in, your assigned colour changed to purple due to their diplomatic status ending.
You can do something similar in white star.
If you go to your white star in time machine, and rewind to the start. Let some ships from both sides jump in:
Ally will be light green, enemy will be red.
Leave the corp:
New ships that jump in will be dark green and yellow (depending on whether they are team a or b)
But the ones that are light green will remain light green, as will the red ones.
Now join the enemy corp, when their ships jump in, they will be green, and your original corp red.
One team will have a mix of: light green, dark green and red ships
The other: red, yellow and light green ships.
This is because the game doesn't update the ships already being rendered when their player colour gets updated, only ships that spawn after the colour change (IE, new jump ins or drones/rockets)
could be. one of my last ships had to go to one of my other diplo partners to 'borrow' some arts. i cant confirm it was the odd ship, cause they all looked blu to me.. just another wrinkle..
Its not based as far as i know on your diplogate most players i play with always have the same visual color for me in RS or YS as a diplo partner.
its like the leader boards sorting there is some unseen number / color style on your profile that defaults to your color for other players
Red star is based on join order. Diplo gates are weird because the gates aren't important, not the order that they "join" your system. I will need to do testing once I finish 365 achievement for a corp member in 7 days
Freed up my Diplo gate and could replicate. It's what I predicted
could be.. there's other variables.. ping kaseysmask, i only posted the oddity cause he tried but couldn't, im not particularly interested ..

1 This is normal diplomacy, and at that time I had other accounts that were already connected to diplomacy, this kind of consent to the player But the color is not the same bug I experienced twice.
I don't think this color different diplomacy bug affects the normal game, w ...
2 The other bug is fatal, when someone sends you diplomacy, you can't refuse, you can't accept it, it's usually caused by him sending diplomacy to two people at the same time.
- Accepted diplomacy, but could not get into the ship
The first bug does not affect the game
The second and third bugs affect the smoothness of the game
You're absolutely right, it's the underlying logic of the code
I did break off another piece of diplomacy
I was able to make wine and deep blue. However, it is very difficult to make gray and emerald green. Is there any other player who could make emerald green besides Kasey's mask?
emerald green?
my “fcrazy”is emerald green
I disconnected from diplomacy and continued to reconnect, still was emerald green
I think the colours depend on how many diplo gates you have, but I might be wrong. I didn't get dark blue and dark purple until I had three gates, iirc
I also got deep blue and wine purple by using my third diplomatic station.
I feel like it's easier to get rare colors if there are four players with three diplomatic stations and all of them form a quartet to form diplomatic ties.
I haven't been able to try this.
Yes, but you have 3 Diplo stations
One moment, let me test my account with only two
That's the color. Beautiful emerald green😍 Even if you cut off diplomacy, the color will come out again🤔
I have 3 accounts with 3, 3 and 2 diplomatic stations respectively.
Would you and I like to try it?
I see. These are two colors that we often see.
I should point out I have seen glitched systems where a player has two Diplo gates.
They are so diploed with player A
Diplo 2 is not connected
But they have player b & C's ships in their system
Can't you go through diplo then same players goes through that ys diplo? Maybe not bugged. I've never tried so idk. Meaning player B went through C's to get to A's, because B is connected to A, and B is connect with A and C
no you can't do that
it's possible that either they had multiple players accept diplo at exactly the same time, or two diplo gates somehow got deleted. Diplo gates are very bugged and have weird behaviours, and I was told there used to be an exploit using diplo gate to make you have an invisible battleship in blue star.
Therefor ship cosmetics would be very buggy in diplo. Ahh brought it up here
