Nightly build of the development trunk

[Giel]

I've compiled a new nightly build for revision 2416 (quite literal "nightly" as it's 2:58 in the night/morning here).

r2416 debug version
r2416 non-debug version

This one provides AIvolution as a serparate mod (use "--mod aivolution.wz" as a parameter to enable it, or just the AIvolution shortcut provided).

immediate crash on using one of my maps - this was in the stderr.txt file.

error  : gwCheckZoneSizes: warning zone 1 at (166,64) is too large 15278 tiles (max 600)
error  : gwCheckZoneSizes: warning zone 2 at (61,182) is too large 9395 tiles (max 600)
error  : gwCheckZoneSizes: warning zone 3 at (48,54) is too large 7202 tiles (max 600)
error  : gwCheckZoneSizes: warning zone 4 at (184,186) is too large 9968 tiles (max 600)
error  : gameLoad: undefined save format version 134217728

r2416 completely breaks single player (starting campaign, fast play and tutorial as well as loading savegames - all that is saved in .gam files).
Edit: Multiplayer as well it seems. What exactly is the advantage of having .gam files in big endian format?

error  : gameLoad: undefined save format version 134217728  in stderr.txt and this mdmp.


was in second mission alpha ... ctd with full crash - and MS send to MS for debug.

Fixed in r2418. Instead of modifying the current format versions, an additional version is added now (savegame format v35).

Edit: Multiplayer as well it seems. What exactly is the advantage of having .gam files in big endian format?

Endianess wasn't the only problem (if it would be then it would be very easy to fix), the new version (35) ignores struct padding as well. This was the real cause of trouble (for the segfaults at least, wrong endianess alone would yield invalid values).

Anyway... i've compiled a new nightly build for revision 2420 (which has the above issue fixed)

r2420 debug version
r2420 non-debug version

This one provides AIvolution as a serparate mod (use "--mod aivolution.wz" as a parameter to enable it, or just the AIvolution shortcut provided).

I don't have any terrain textures in these nightly builds. Is that normal? All land is colored white and water is colored little darker white.

[Giel]

Nope that most certainly isn't normal.

I've compiled a new nightly build for revision 2440.

r2440 debug version
r2440 non-debug version

[lav_coyote25]

including mdmp - same?? problem....  assigned to 5 trucks a few aa batteries in stacks of 4...  8 were assigned for building which is 32 sites.


like this        OO

r2440  nightly build.

[lav_coyote25]

and just had another look...

btw I wanted to note that spliting textures 16/32/64/128  overloading CPU. On my celeron its shows little frame-rate near 10-15 fps. ( without shadows )

Adding the team function to the game, was a great enhancement. I think you should also add the function to select the starting point for every player at the menu if possible.

You can choose starting point by selecting player number.

I downloaded the nightly build, but my units and structures still dont look as good as lav_coyote's?  ???

[Serman]

Giel, you should sticky this.
