Description
[http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/bugs/42 Item 42] imported from sourceforge.net tracker on 2013-01-28 18:08:35

Any soldier assigned armor appears as a purple diamond
with a gun sticking out on the battlefield. In
addition when armor is placed on soldiers in the equip
screen, the model of the soldier disappears.

I have a lighter version of this bug. Some (very few)
soldiers get a purple diamond instead of the head when armored.

The same for me. Even the soldiers in Credits are diamonds.
Also maps have strange colors and circular patterns. Version
is today's SVN, that is ufoai_0.0.svn971_i386.deb. The rest
is OK, though setting sound to ALSA switches to SDL (garbled
music), and setting to SDL gives ALSA (working well).

With today's SVN the problem is solved for me. (Though,
debian/rules are broken currently and sound via SDL is out
of sync.) However, while solders and equipment are shown
perfectly everywere, map landscape is shown as before, with
funny colours and circular patterns (except the dropship,
which is perfect).

unfortunately, the problem is not solved for me (revision
1089, btw this one is sooo ssslllooowww) ... but I did not
have time to do a complete rebuild (for the circular
patterns on maps, recompilation of all maps helped, I made
it a few revisions before, but it takes ages ...)

With yesterday revision I have purple diamonds as small
trees (judging by shadows). The rest is OK. Thank you for
the tip with maps --- they are great, now. The game crashes
regularly when I start, build base and klick on equip
soldiers. Otherwise --- what a wonderful game!

this is fixed in rev. ~1482

Nope, this is still present in revision 1498. Best visible
in Credits --- second and third person is a diamond. This
is fresh download and fresh compile. Funny that this problem
disappears and reappears again...

OK, in 1554 it is fixed again. ;>

I hope it stays that way. Anybody else having this problem now?
