Report history
The colors of agilmor have been chosen according to their preferences. Change my preferences.
If you tell us what your preferences are, devs could check if maybe grey is assimilated to white or something. Or maybe you forgot you had grey as your top choice (since very few games have grey as a color, it's easy to forget) ?
- grey is working
- white is ignored as there is no white car
- pink is ignored as there is no pink car
- red is working
My color preferences are: Green, Purple, Red and Black. In that order.
I'm getting grey a lot of times, I think that I've never got green.
- With green as first color and red as second, I got the grey car (should have received green)
- With Kaki as first color (who ever does that?) and red as second, I got the Yellow car (should have received red)
- With cyan as first and red as second, I got the grey car
- With pink as first and blue as second, I got the red car
- violet-white-black gave me black instead of white
- violet-red-black did give me red
So there is some weird stuff going in.
So there doesn't seem to be any problem with violet.
So it seems that green gives grey, kaki gives yellow, cyan gives grey and pink gives red.
I'm not certain where is the issue, but can you let me know how to get the green car in a solo game?
I'm not able to do it by having Green in my preferences, so it looks like something is wrong somewhere?
Thanks!

example:
boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=422689570
The game log said: "The colors of Thomas have been chosen according to their preferences.". My color preferences are 1. Green, 2. Khaki green, 3. Cyan and 4. Red. I was the only premium player at this table. My player color was gray. That is none of my configured prefered colors.
If you say, that this is not a bug of this game, but a bug of "how the bga framework computes the closest color match", then
i.) why do I get my prefered colors in all other games?
Could it be that the colors of the cars are not matching the colors offered in the BGA configuration?
e.g. in BGA configuration, Green is #1F8010 , but in HEAT the green car is #74A551, and that may be the reason, why the BGA framework can not match my prefered color with the color of the cars?
ii.) If you say, this is not a bug in the game implementation, then should we open a new report for the BGA framework to get this issue fixed?
Based on your comments, I understand that, although this is not technically a Heat bug as Tisaac explains, it's also true that for some particular case (green preference) it's not working like most of the games in BGA.
Tisaac, do you think that we/you could change the "green" value in Heat (or the grey?) so the BGA's code computing the distance from the BGA's and Heat's greens is smaller than the BGA's green and Heat's grey?
I know that this will change the aesthetics of the game and maybe it's not the color that the publisher approved or similar.. but I think that it may be a good trade-off.
What do you think?
Thanks!
Albert
PS:
Seems that there are a couple of duplicates already:
boardgamearena.com/bug?id=99892
boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32736
I guess that any user having green in their BGA's preferences will eventually notice it.
I assume that "their side" is BGA framework, right?
Is there any bug open on that regards so we can keep an eye on it?
I dont know if there is a specific bug report, but rest assured I will ping them regularly on that issue :)
I'll try not to ping you that much here then... ;-)
I'm not certain if I should open a bug to for the BGA framework.
Tisaac, if you have any new, please let us know.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot Tisaac!
