Precalculating path costs

Whenever I try a new mod/map combination, Spring has to do something very time consuming called "Calculating estimate path costs" which seems to be cached ( in the maps/paths directory ).

Is there a chance to precalculate those paths costs in batch mode?

Where does this info come from? Can you give me a link to the revision in which the map estimating was optimized? I'm pretty sure it's a hoax...

, I don't remember seeing anything about this in SVN log.

And give me a link to the patch too

well... it seems faster in the test... it may just be the new version of XTA

it deserves to be, 3D pathing eats your computer alive and isn't exactly perfect!

Pathing in the new version is a lot better it seems, so is the rendering process. Can't figure out what exactly has changed, but it's muchly different.

So Fbo, just incase you havent picked it up from these guys, this has already been implemented into the next spring. Many other members have complained about it just like you.

Does this mean, when I use the lates svn, it will be faster?

I just wantet to try that, but I got this:

Code: Select all

I'm not really a C++ guru. Does anyone know, what to do to make spring build on my linux machine?

I would love to run a utility overnight to path the 200 maps I have on my HD for all the mods I have...

You still haven't backed up that assertion with a link or any evidence, so I dismissed it. Speculation is for the mod and AI forums, not the map forum!
