Adding Placeable objects to azone generated map files

[Derision]

What concerns me is that some of your maps are significantly smaller than those I generated on my own system.

E.g. your archive has buriedsea.map at 28,010,918 bytes, whereas when I generate the map, I get one of 85MB+

Strange ... Secrets, could you run azone2 on buriedsea and post your output like I just did above ? Thanks

Thanks ... that's strange. Our outputs match up until 'Building Quadtree', then yours seems to go wrong.

Both my Windows and Linux boxes give the exact same results.

If anyone else can run azone2 on buriedsea and post the results here, it would be useful. Thanks.

I'll probably post the source tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see if you get the correct results from compiling it yourself.

EDIT: Scratch that. I think I see the bug.

EDIT: If there is no azone.ini file, azone2 will not add the default placeable models that it should. If you could create an empty azone.ini file in the same directory as azone2.exe and your .EQGs and try again ? (This is what you get for using beta software ... sorry :-( )

[Derision]

Confirmed. No azone.ini in the same directory as azone.exe is the problem:

M:\SoF>move azone.ini azone.ini.old
        1 file(s) moved.

Sorry Secrets, but your .maps are no good ... I'll go and hide now, but thanks for finding the bug so quickly

PS: The default placeable objects are essential in V4 zones as they are used for key structures.

/facepalm

[Secrets]

Yup, that was it. Good catch

I'll re-upload the maps shortly.

I'm uploading these maps to the map SVN. Secrets, if you want access shoot me a PM with a gmail address or an address tied to google.
