a stairs alike problem, but it ain't stairs, just a corridor outside - R25522

R25522

it's already some time since i noticed this problem for the first time, but as it hasn't been fixed yet, it's time to report

there is a problem similar to that stairs (in the UFO's or in buildings) problem, but this ain't the stairs.
it's a corridor attached from the outside to the building.
see the attachment.
and the soldier simply can walk inside to that corridor from the ourside. but he can get inside when entering it from the building, but he can't leave the corridor using the other door to the outside space.
as i noticed, the problem should be the field just before the door which lead from the corridor to the outside.

i won't tell you the name of that map, because i've noticed this problem everytime a map with this kind of building (meaning with that corridor) appeared.

At least give me one or two mapnames where this building occurs...

here you have something better, a save game of mine with mission (crashed fighter UFO) where this kind of building can be found.
load the game, start the time, and wait few secs. till a mission appears.
inside, if you won't see this building at a first time, simply press ESC and select RETRY untill the building appears on the map.
I hope you don't mind it this way, because I still dunno how to get the mapname

[Duke]

..., because I still dunno how to get the mapname

That's easy:
Find and open you ufoconsole.log.
Scroll to the end.
Search backwards for "CM_LoadMap:"

well, this is what the console gave me:

Great
ufocrash is a random map assembly (RMA). Hard to reproproduce bugs here.
But this

CM_LoadMap: "-ufocrash/uc_ +craft_drop_firebird +craft_crash_fighter +h03 +h06 +h05 +h01 +h01 +h05 +h02 +h02" "-24 0 0 -16 -16 0 0 8 0 16 8 0 -24 -16 0 -16 16 0 8 -16 0 24 -8 0 24 -16 0 -24 16 0"

is the RMA construction string. I can use it to see exactly the map that you saw (randomness removed).
Easy to do:
- take the string
- make it look like: map day "-ufocrash/uc_ +craf......
- place it into myFile.xyz
- do exec myFile.xyz at the ufo console

You can start practicing, I will ask you to do that once I come up with a fix

[Duke]

Uhm...interesting

1. If I do what I described above, the map loads, but after just scrolling around a bit I get a CTD !
Could you plz try the same and confirm/disconfirm ?

2. I managed to get that house/yard on my screen (by using the retry button) and can say that it's a map issue.
The opening in the fence is neither tall enough nor wide enough to get through. See screenshot.

1. what is it CTD you are talking about?

2. well, I've tried to see the doorway in the mission as you showed in your screenshot, and about the tallness you're right, but it's really small space missing to pass. and about that wideness, I dunno, maybe.
so when it's a map issue, I think we'd to wait for a fix.
anyway, I dunno if it would be some global fix or what, because as I've said previously, I've seen it many times everywhere this building appears.

3.
now when trying to see it the same way as you showed at your screenshot, the game crashed for several times to the desktop with:

CTD = Crash To Desktop i think... ?

[Duke]

Yup.

not yet, I dunno where to place that MyFile.xyz to load it.

[Duke]

One good place is in the same dir as the ufoconsole.log.

btw, maybe testing information at http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Mapping/Testing helps a bit

Hi again,

after some time I've started a new game because of incompatible save.
When playing, I've noticed that this corridor problem is solved at 50%.
I can enter the corridor from outside, but I can't leave it using the outside doors of the corridor.
Going through the building using it's inner doors is the only way I can leave the building&corridor once inside of that corridor.
