Not sure if bug or feature: invisible ghosts

[TeshiAlair]

If it is a bug, I'll submit a ticket, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't some evil new feature first.

Player ghosts are showing up with just a black space on my game, playing non-tiles. Version 0.16-a0-1871-g44f7412.

I checked the changelog and didn't see anything, but I also didn't get a version change prompt so I'm not really sure. It kinda makes sense flavor-wise for ghosts, I know shadows used to do this waaaay back in the day.

what kinda ghost is it
i'm playing a newer build and my octopode and draconian ghosts show up as W

I ran into this and reported it too, it was on my csdc game of course. It was pretty scary until I noticed that HECj ghost had no spells o.O

Saw it on 2 different ghosts, glad I'm not the only one

I've seen that some exotic ascii symbols are not properly printed as glyphs in console -at least in online 0.16. Was some hidden change made to player ghosts in settings?

[scorpionwarrior]

It's fixed now, don't know if any servers have updated to it yet.

While we have this open, why is the tile used for ghosts on CTRL-X different than the tile used in-game?

There are none

I was going to say something witty here, and realised: "hey, he's right!"

Console players can't even tell the difference between a W and a W!

(In tiles, those W's would be the icons for two different monsters)

HAhahahaah! Get it??!?!?!?!

Sounds like you could use this

I ordinarily prefer ASCII in roguelikes, but crawl I am just used to tiles.

It probably helps that our tiles blow most other tilesets I have seen out of the water, so major props to our tile maker people.

Thanks, that was pretty fun.
