yes - that is required - thanks
====== tlh2000 (2010-08-24 10:39:30) ======

should be fixed in r31834 - there were not enough start positions - you have to recompile the italy dropship maps
====== gren01 (2010-08-24 12:54:58) ======

'fraid not - well maybe but there seems to be some other problem with loading up. (see attached)

Have got r31834 twice and it seems to have the same problem.

ufoconsole.log please - screenshot doesn't help here.
====== tlh2000 (2010-08-25 10:59:08) ======

savegame first part
====== tlh2000 (2010-08-25 10:59:23) ======

savegame second part
====== tlh2000 (2010-08-25 11:02:01) ======

also map loads fine here with the savegame - are you really sure that you recompiled the map?
====== gren01 (2010-08-25 11:49:58) ======

After I got the next release the map was accessible.. but this is happening occasionally with other maps too.

I will see if I can follow the guide to recompile maps.
====== tlh2000 (2010-08-25 11:56:26) ======

tell us which maps - it's a bug in the maps that must be fixed
====== gren01 (2010-08-25 16:38:52) ======

Save file is too large again: please pick up from my mediafire account:

Another [Tropical UFO] Terror Mission in Kuala Lumpur - r31898
====== tlh2000 (2010-08-25 19:00:31) ======

it would be nice if you could "attach" the ufoconsole.log to this ticket - because then we could see the exact map tile name we have to fix
====== tlh2000 (2010-08-25 19:04:04) ======

+tropical and the raptor dropship i suppose? this is fixed in >= r31902 (recompile the map)
