I created a +forest huge assembly with a size of 16x16 for RMA performance testing.
The assembly worked, the CM_LoadMap string looks good, but later we get the above problem when trying to actually load the map, probably because the position string (or both ?) has been truncated somewhere.

A 16x16 RMA is not really playable, so this is a 'not in 2.3' issue. But if somebody happens to know how to overcome this limitation, it would help me with rma preformance. Keep in mind that RMA supports up to 32x32 maps.

The minimum solution would be a better error msg like "string too long for...".

this has to do with the config string limitation - keep in mind that the rma stuff also works for multiplayer - that's why all the strings of the tiles and positions must be send to the clients, this is achieved by the configstring mechanics. and they have a max length.

Yes, that's how far I got yesterday ;)
But what is that max length ?? Is it MAX_TOKEN_CHARS 256 ? (probably)
Or MAX_TILESTRINGS * MAX_TOKEN_CHARS ? (I don't think so).


====== tlh2000 (2010-01-03 18:23:41) ======

for the tiles and positions it's MAX_TILESTRINGS * MAX_TOKEN_CHARS for all other configstrings it's MAX_TOKEN_CHARS
====== aduke1 (2010-01-03 19:44:55) ======

Hmm. That would be 25x256, >6000
In the attached log, the TOKEN string is less than 500 and the POSITON string less than 900 long.
On a regular RMA (eg. industrial), both strings are less than 256 bytes long.
Maybe the splitting algo doesn't work correctly ?

afair this isn't splitted - see SV_SpawnServer:

Q_strncpyz(sv.configstrings[CS_TILES], server, MAX_TOKEN_CHARS * MAX_TILESTRINGS);
Q_strncpyz(sv.configstrings[CS_POSITIONS], param, MAX_TOKEN_CHARS * MAX_TILESTRINGS);
