Is there a way to select the representation of values in the watch window of C::B debug ?
I'm especially interested in
- showing int as hex and
- showing the pos3_t vars as an array of 3 ints

Is there a way to make CB automagically start with my favourite (only) workspace ?

[Ralgert]

How do you start CB? If you click a icon / link, make another link to your favorite workspace file and start with this. In standard, if a file ends with *.workspace, CB starts automatically with this workspace, if you click this file.

Thx, Ralgert
A simple solution and exactly what I needed.

Another question: for debugging ufo2map, I still haven't found a way to specify the params in Project->Set program's arguments so it finds the map in the trunk. I always have to copy the .map to be debugged to my user's dir (right next to the ufoconsole.log).

[Mattn]

you can set a working dir in the project->properties for ufo2map (and for each build target)

[Mattn]

this is now checked into trunk for ufo2map - retry and please let me know whether it works for you

[Mattn]

btw. you should maybe think about using eclipse, too - the built-in debugging functions beat the ones in c::b a lot

Great. That did it. It behaves as anyone would expect and I can enter the params the way I would on the cmd line

On a sidenote: why do I always have to pass "maps/mine.map" ? I'd understand either
"base/maps/mine.map" or
"mine.map" and "alienb/a-hangar.map"
If the program knows about /base, it should also know about /base/maps !?!
What's the reason for this unusual behaviour ?

As for eclipse: You should have told me that one year ago
But if eclipse is much better, why is C::B still the official IDE ? Where is C::B superior to eclipse ?

[Mattn]

the reason is that the code is the same in the tools and the game - it's only using the virtual filesystem. and this is in ufo relative to base/ (or any mod directory)

it would imo be a hack to add support for base/maps/mine back into ufo2map - and i definitely don't want to see this in the shared files.c code because it is used by the client and the server, too

on linux you can e.g. install the game in /usr/local/games/ufoai and have your map sources either here below /usr/local/games/ufoai/base/maps or e.g. in ~/.ufoai/VERSION/base/maps. if you now call ufo2map maps/bla it would search both searchpaths and do the right things (tm)
