Prob with stairs on +farm

[Thyranim]

I'm using r24861 of odies build ( http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=3462.msg27717#msg27717 )
and not possible to go upstairs the houses...
is this a similar problem or another one? ^^

oh, map is "+farm"
there a something like warehouses (? correct word?) and normal houses.
stairs in normal houses are not working, others are... weird ...

Sorry, Thyramin, this may or may not be a different problem than the one you posted it to.
So I splitted the thread.

Do you have a screenshot ?

I am in the midst of a recompilation of maps as of 24882.

Maybe give me 4-6 hrs (2 plus for recompilation and another 2 plus for upload), and it will be done.

No links yet, but will be at that usual thread.

@Duke, something we should change in the map? Please assist me and i'll do it.

[Duke]

Mattn,
not sure. At least you can *check* some things in the map.

For the first part of the staircase in jpg03 ufo2map calculates a floor of 6, which is strange. I would expect an odd number, be it five or seven. So the first thing to check is that all steps are aligned to heights of 12,20,28,36,... mapunits.

Edit: jpg03

[Duke]

The staircase in ufo00.jpg has the floor of the first part at 7.
You should try to move it very few mapunits (I guess 1-2) in the direction the stairs go up, so our 'height detecting beam' will hit one step lower, resulting in a floor of *5*.

(The height of a surface is detected by a 4x4 mapunits 'beam' in the very middle of the cell.)

[Mattn]

did i mention that we should really really really integrate this into uforadiant? it would help us to really fix a lot of map problems.

[Dorzak]

I have also noticed this.  Interesting I can start up the stairs if I crouch, but not get off the stairs on the second floor.

[Duke]

This prob has already been analyzed. Mattn is currently too busy to do it *bg*.
If there is a mapper out there who can do and commit it:
move the whole stairway by 2 mapunits so the front of the first step aligns properly with a 32-boundary.
Note: that's just a solution for this very map!

[Duke]

I found a way to circumvent the prob in the code. Committed as R25553.
All stairs on +farm now work (after a map-compile).

[Mattn]

that's great news - maybe other stairs are fixed now, too?

[Duke]

Yes, the fix applies to a typical situation with indoor stairways.
From the code:

Code: [Select]

/* This function detects a special stairway situation, where one place is right
 * in front of a stairway and has a floor at eg.1 and a ceiling at eg.16.
 * The other place has the beginning of the stairway, so the floor is at eg. 6
 * and the ceiling is that of the higher level, eg.32.*/
