Hi!
I tried to make new map and after compiling it when I'm running it from game (console: devmap mapname) game starts to load map, but drops back to Geoscape with such error:
"Game Error: G_ClientTeamInfo: unknown fieldSize for edict (0)"
What can I do to fix this?
-
do you have a team assembled? a base set up? please attach the map source file, then we can test this, too
i can't reproduce the problem here with any other map (can you - e.g. with farm08d?)
-
I was not aware that team should be assembled, but base was (automatically) set up. Now I checked with team assembled too (click to assign soldiers in dropship screen) and still problem persists. This is in moment just a simple map of what should be center part of cargo ship, such ship could probably be even assembled from map parts? So it has only huge loading area and stairs. I started some small maps and in beginning they are shown in game but after adding levels (which is essential in building ship) they start to give aforementioned error.

thanks - i will have a look at the map - one fast initial note is, that you should also align the actor starting points to the grid (not in z-direction, but at least in x and y direction)
-
ok, i fixed the problem in the most recent svn version - thanks for reporting.
but keep in mind that you need info_human_start for singleplayer testing
-
and a sidenote - this was due to the fact that the map didn't have at least 8 human spawn points and a bug in G_ClientSkipActorInfo
-
Okay, thanks! I was not aware that exact number of spawn points was very needed. For testing in-work maps or map parts having fewer spawn points is good thing.
I was using downloaded 2.2 release package before (same error was on compiled version with Ubuntu AM64 month ago also). I'm now compiling maps on my old Barton 2500+ box with Ubuntu x86 because mapping tool (Radiant) has some trouble with 64 bit OS.
