SVN 3646 not finding some files in data

Technical support > Feature Requests

(1/1)

jbabcock:
I have compiled version 3646 and it starts up well, but then has some trouble finding some files. As a result, I don't have sounds and can't play tactical missions.

I start from the svn trunk dir with the command ./ufo +set vid_fullscreen 0 (the parameter has no effect, I get the same symptoms without it) Compiling the release and debug versions both result in the same problem.

I have checked and data/maps and data/pics do exist and are properly populated and/or compiled. Does anyone have any ideas why these files are not being found?

Thanks,
Josh

Here is the tail end of the console output, with a path command added in for fun:

Ahh, nothing like making a post to make you see the obvious. The music is a non-issue, the .ogg files I dl'd were not named correctly. I fixed that. The missions at least try to run now, I found that I needed to copy game.so to the base dir. Apaprently the Makefile forgets to do this.

As for loading the map, I have the file farm08n.bsp, and the program is looking for farm.bsp. It chokes when it can't find it.

I still don't know why it is complaining about pics/

Still looking for help,

Mattn:
the pics stuff is just an unfinished menu - no big deal

the maps have to be compiled

ubequitz:
one way to compile the maps is to go to base/maps, export PATH=$PATH:../../
then make (and wait many hours!)

(see http://ufo.myexp.de/wiki/index.php/Debian for a guide on the whole make process, obviously oriented toward Debian based Linuxes but the principles are the same).

jbabcock:
Yeah, turns out my problem was that I had compiled the maps after building for release, and was playing debug (or maybe the other way around.) On a lark I set my box to recompiling the maps before I went away for the weekend and when I came back, this problem was solved too, with the only change being the map recompile (and a power company mandated reboot.)

I would think that one set of maps should work for both build options, but apparently not.
