Yet another case of the 'stairway bug' we are working on.
Do you happen to know which map it was ?

of course. i'm only reporting

Do you happen to know which map it was ?

well, here you have it as the attachment, that is that map.
anyway, i think it wasn't only the stairs to that roof, but also those second stairs above that yardang/breach

Yeah, I think I've seen that map before. Could you please figure out the *name* of that map for me ?
Or maybe someone knows it by heart ?

(That map is interesting for me because it's a non-RMA map.)

I may be wrong, but I believe it is "scout_crash".

well, if you tell me how to find the name of it?

yes, i think i've noticed some similar name during load process of the mission.

You can read the name in gameconsole (~), or in log in profiledir.

well, i can read the logs, but i dunno which of it is the name of a mission. there is a lot of info's, and it could be anything.

anyway, i've found another stairs (both stairs in the building) bug, see the attachment, and the building on the bottom.

@Another Guy:
Yes, it is scout_crash. Thx

@8472:
I can confirm the prob with R24821. Investigating...

@8472:
When looking at the log right after you encountered the prob, search upwards from the end of the log and look for a line like
Map:fighter_crash  Offset:(0, 0, 0)

@Mattn:
At least it's not a prob with the pathfinding *code*
This prob can be solved in two ways:

a) increasing #define   PATHFINDING_MIN_STEPUP from 2 to 3 let's me happily walk both stairways.
(That's the max height delta between two stairs).
Maybe that's a topic for our mailinglist ?

b) map editing
The first step of the stairway to the upper house is too high. Adding one more stair at the bottom should solve it.
Not sure about the stairway to the roof. 8 stairs for one level *should* be ok. Might be a rounding problem (stairs should be at 8,16,24,...) or an unlucky misalignment with MicroTrace().
