Rist · 1.2.1 · Fixed

The experience bar disappeared and never came back. It went the first time it was hidden - which on a dedicated server was immediately, before anyone saw it, and in singleplayer was the first time you died or pressed the hide-HUD key.

The bar is a clone of the eitr panel, and the eitr panel spends its life switched off for a character with no eitr: vanilla's hide clip does not fade it, it deactivates its parts by name through AnimationObjectToggle. Everything the clone showed - frame, track, both fills, text - came from one SetBool("Visible", true) written once when it was built. The bar was then hidden and shown with SetActive, and disabling a GameObject disables its Animator; Unity's keepAnimatorStateOnDisable defaults to false, so re-enabling rebinds it and resets every parameter to its authored default. Visible went back to false, the show clip never played again, the parts stayed inactive, and nothing re-asserted it.

It is hidden by a CanvasGroup alpha now, so nothing is ever disabled and nothing rebinds. The clone is also detached from the borrowed animator entirely at build time and brought up by hand instead - handing a permanently visible bar's visibility to a controller whose whole job is hiding the eitr panel was the mistake underneath. The flash on a waiting pick is driven here now rather than through the donor's trigger.

Both GuiBar components are destroyed at build time as well, with what they point at cached first. That was the next failure waiting: this file already drives both fills by hand because GuiBar caches m_barImage in Awake and re-reads m_width on the first SetValue, and its comment noted that LateUpdate "never runs, because the donor's parts are inactive". Activating those parts made it run, and it would have squashed every width to m_width * value with an m_width captured from a donor whose fills are zero wide.

Reported from the live server by a player and reproduced on two machines.
