Does it always happen or only with viewports activated?
Viewports
- Thread starter Koshling

It is 100% impossible for viewports to have any effect on civ placement.
Howeevr you try to move them? In particular G command then left click? I think I may have screwed up right-click moveemnt when I fixed the G-left-click variety yesterday, but I haven't yet had a chance to verify that theory.
I assume so as well but if this is new then maybe there is a chance that some bug in what Python code sees of the map was introduced. Probably not, but I want to be sure, hence the question (and this was also brought up in the Viewports thread so at least the poster thought it has something to do with it).
Latest SVN. It's still in the alpha stage really with bugs in it being fixed on a daily basis.

I started another game without viewports active and received expected civ distribution, but more testing is needed.

And how do I know what form factor my map is? Say, what would I use for a gigantic PerfectMongoose, for example?
PerfectMongoose uses a 3:2 form factor in all sizes.
It's purely cosmetic - all not having a matching form factor will do is produce a stretched map that might look a bit odd in the military advisor. Fir a random map (as opposed to an earth map) you probably wouldn't even notice.
@Koshling:
I was playing around with the Viewports with your new fixes, and I had an idea about the wierd graphical artifacts that tend to show up.
When I revealed a new tile, the water would look really odd and the terrain would be more flat, as well as having some other odd things going on. This was off-putting, so I tried finding a way to get it to go away. I found that when I went to the Military Advisor and then exited, remaking the Viewport, that all of the artifacts went away. This led me to an idea.
Would it be possible to add a key-sequence (ie Ctrl-Shift-V or something) that would re-initialize the Viewport? That way, people could quickly and easily remove the artifacts while keeping the viewport in the same place. Is this doable, or would it require a lot of work? To me, it seems like the best fix for the V25 release.

If that makes it go away it suggests a pure bug. Post a save that exhibits it with instructions and I'll try to fix it.
Here is the issue, which I originally posted a few days ago. It doesn't really help to post a save, as it will always be fine on load. Just start a new game and reveal some ocean tiles to see the issue, then enter and exit the Military Advisor to fix it.

I was wondering if there could be some sort of quick key to "center" the view port at your current tile and/or unit? That way you would not need to open up the Military Advisor all the time when exploring.
That should be easy to add, I'll see what I can do. Do you have a recommended key sequence (ctrl-C or something since 'C' does 'normal' centering??)
I think that V should be used for removing the graphical errors if Koshling can't fix them in the DLL.
