(Probably) stupid question about the maps

[mikeg]

Hello,

maybe anyone could answer this question: I want to test some things in the new 2.4-dev and have many problems which could not be the case because anyone else would write "I have this, too", because they are essentially for the game.

I have some problems regardung the calculation of distances and points on the geoscape but they are not reproducable (it seems so). They occur many times on my PC but if I make a save and provide this to another guy, the problem seems to not exist. Also, if a reload my game the problem is gone away, but it will happen at any other timeframe later.

Is it possible, that I forgot something to build?

I explain, what I have done:

- Checkout from git
- Do some changes in the cl_input.c (for example)
- Compile & Link (build) the ufo.exe as well as all other targets which are build using "all"
- Start the new .exe => got problems

Has someone an explanation for that? I can only believe, that I got something wrong.

Best regards

PS: I mean for example this log entries:

Here the game keeps up on geoscape, I can reproduce this all of the time.

[mikeg]

Sorry for self-reply but I just want to attach of the refetch for map-get command, which I tried to perform because of the errors described above.

[mikeg]

Now I tried to build the maps using 'make maps'. It took a very long time but finally results in an error (see attached) in a_hangar.map.

Could someone tell me, what I can do to make it work? Or provide the complete map bsp's somewhere?

Best regards

This can probably be fixed by increasing the -quant n parameter you use when compiling. Try at least 3 and then go up if that doesn't work. Lower values lead to better lighting, but we've recently reduced the -quant default (I think) and some maps are causing the compilation to cause this error. Some more info on ufo2map parameters here.

[mikeg]

Thank you very much, it keeps on compiling now with -quant 4. Sorry, that I don't read the page until end. I have to read the wiki more precisely.

Regards
