Topic: random game error file

Hi is there a logfile for the randomgame? sometimes i just open and close other menus and then its does make a valid map. i hope i can read it if it exsists. good voor my understanding is there a immediate "save new map" possible if the map is accepted by the editor?

Hi, actualy i say 2 things. One is saving directly and i did not check the editor for that so i will do. With the standard New Random Game that migth work too with a simple checkmark for an auto-start save, just before the headquarters are placed of course.

the other thing i mean to say is the question if there is a file with the remark why the new map failed to open. Maybe thats available in the editor version of the mapbuilder aswell. But i wondered what the error cq reason is that some maps dont work. But it happens less and i have the "trick" to close the menu, open another menu, cancel it and then most off the time there is a new working map if i try it again.

no, the map fails to open and i wonder why

Which operating system?

debian10

Depending on the operating system you may find some information: * Linux/MacOs: Start widelands from a command line and watch the output * Windows: There should be a file named stdout.txt, not sure where to find this file.

yes, thank you:

not all messages are given.

i had to try again a few times this worked

[00:01:59.593 real] WARNING: Could not find a suitable place for player 2

if space to build is a problem perhaps the most simplistic aproach is to press a empty form over the place. like a 6-sided empty form and make a 3 fold open build space on exit piont. just as an emergency option. it probably will be a difficult map to start with. I would like to try and i have to start somewhere but i my c is real not good. i do some z80 assembly. On zx spectrum there are some C compile possiblities but not much, hisoft as native complier and , luckely, z88dk as big uncle crosscompiler (over 100 computers with z80?)

the headquater space it self has probably a definition. i assume thats all is needed but now everything there has to be destroyd instead off build or preserved... how rude! the only thing i did with the editor is make a silly mountain with a river in the middle.
