TinyMap2 (Topic)

Quote from

Got my fingers cross here. I kicked some bug. It was a minor thing in sfmpqapi that had to do with memory allocating and freeing ...

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the problem. I have previously seen, in the task manager, a massive memory leak where TM would gobble up to 2gig of memory within a couple of seconds and windows would kill it.

None.

Really? Because I don't think it was that kind of error ...
But let me know what you find with this new build.

I've mentioned that somewhere before, probably in this thread. Failing that, in the shoutbox or PMs.

I'm unlikely to use your new version as I'm not really mapping any more. Anyway as I posted above, it doesn't crash if you use type 1 compression and with the newer versions it's only very slightly larger than type 2, for my map, anyway.

None.

Ok well nobody has said anything, so I just went ahead and made this fix a new release build.

Just tried a few maps that were causing crashes on 7 with the previous version, and I haven't had an issue on either Type 1 or Type 2 compression. Great work, Farty and ShadowFlare!

And thanks to ShadowFlare for helping me fix sfmpqapi!

D: Still doesn't fix the compression for maps on Vista

None.

What exactly is the problem? Still crashing?

Can you PM me the map, or is it a general issue? I can try a map on Win7 and WinXP and look at it to see if there is something else particular about it that crashes.

It just doesn't compress the map but instead it outputs a mostly blank map. It isn't any specific map at all though but I'm on Vista 64-bit if that helps.

None.

What do you mean mostly blank?

A .scm/.scx file is created but only like ~4kb

None.

Can you send me one of the files?

I've had that sort of output as well (with older versions), although usually accompanied by a crash as well.

None.

I don't know what that map is supposed to be, but the -creep.scm is just the compressed version of creep.scm. It is perfectly valid as far as I can see ...

As Lanth said, usually it crashes if there is a problem and it fails to compress the map. And there would be a 0 kb file output.

The map can not possibly be compressed down to 3.31kb.....

None.

Did you test the map in StarCraft? I don't know what it is supposed to be for, but it appears to work for me.

Nah I didnt test it before because I thought it was impossible for any kind of compression program to reduce a map down to like 4kb even with nothing in it o.O

That's kind of the point of the program: SC really doesn't need a lot of what gets put into a map file in order to play it (a lot of that information is needed/used for map editors, which is why this program doubles as a protector). I compressed a map from 21kb to 2kb just now (a map that was experimenting with anti-drophack triggers), and it works as expected.

The fact that you couldn't believe the results is a testament to how well TinyMap2 works!
