Board 25 LOS produces unexpected result.

Question

Board 25 LOS produces unexpected result.

Opened this issue a month ago · 3 comments

I traced LOS from 25r1 to 25v6. The initial elevation in 25r1 is level -1, and of course the LOS is blocked. I then raised the 25r1 end of the LOS to level zero using ctrl-up-arrow. I expected to have to raise the 25r1 end to virtual level one, but unexpectedly vasl reports the LOS from 25r1(L0) to 25V6(L1) to be clear despite going through the level one hill in 25u5. I use red thread for clear LOS and blue thread for blocked LOS.

VASSAL 3.7.13, vasl 6.6.8, os linux

Just tested this and I can produce the same results. It appears to be connected to raising the level via the arrow key.

Your comment made me test it the other way, i.e. tracing LOS from 25v6 to 25r1 and raising the "to" end using up-arrow. It does the same thing. I doubt it is significant but I had to try it out.
