I think I found a compression bug ?

Post by genblood »

I converted one of my big maps. I used mapconv to make it conform
to the new standard. Using the latest 7zip I zipped it up. Its
around 12.8 MB. I get this error when trying to load the map.

If I just put the 3 files in the map directory it works with no
problems. Is there a limit on the size on the .sd7 map size?
Is this a real bug?

You're using non-solid archives right?

Yes, I'm using non-solid. Its pretty strange thing. If I us 7zip to
compress it to a . sd7 file and try the map I get the error message.
If I just put the 3 file in the map directory, it works ...

It must be causing some type of buffer overload when its read
the compressed file ...

Even if the sd7 is inside /maps/, there must be another /maps/ inside the sd7. Well maybe not but I do like that and it works.

zwzsg,

Yes, I did compress the 3 files into a maps directory.
Basically I made a maps dir and put the 3 files into it.
I right click the maps dir scroll the select of add to archive.
I change a few things, like file name and a few settings.
