Boundaries in stappenbach fields map

[PromGames]

Hi Satis,

Ls mod company has released two days ago the stappenbach map.

There are many users having problems with the field boundaries and the time that the map takes to load when all fields are acquired.

Why this delay? Scan process is getting crazy. This map has special script for joining fields. This is the reason I think, but maybe you can take a look.

The courious thing is that creating custom fields with a tractor on the field, is doing the scan correctly, but depends on the position of the tractor, is scan ok or not. Also if you press more than one time the get the boundaries button, it change it get two fields or three or if you are lucky, just one.

You can find the map in Modhub and maybe you can run a debug on the scanning to see why is doing this. We would like to solve it for next version.

For the time being, I am preparing a set of custom files to share including all fields as custom fields. I think the system will not scan if he finds custom field? Is that right?

Also, there is a limit of number of fields to 150 when you want to set the field scanned, can be increased to 200. This map has 185 fields.

Thanks

You can always change it to manually scanning. A user defined field boundary will not be overwritten by the auto scan. The fact that there are 185 fields may be the reason why the scanner is running so slow. Also the scan system doesn't run until the map is loaded. Also the only thing CP has impacted loads times is the number of courses saved. I know with 185 field you are defiantly hitting that bottleneck. I am not to sure if user defined field boundaries are pre loaded or post loaded.

Alright I messed around with it. This is going to have to be moved into a not compatible with CP unless you don't mind the long load time. I think this is because CP saves a copy of the first field scan and it has to load all 185 fields at once. I don't think we can do anything to fix this. Also the manual field scan I think will never work correctly because of the proximity of the fields. I have to guess and say there is threshold that if the points used to mark the boundary together are to close it will connect them to each. Closed for now and merged in #2231 will revisit this in the future.

I should put a shoe in my mouth till I have throughly tested this. It seems to be a differnt mod conflict causing the loading times. With nothing but CP enable it loads respectably. The field scanner may not be possible to fix tho. So it is seasons mod that is causing your long load times.(I used an 2 week old dev version). I will ask claus about the manual field scanner. The auto isn't going slower than normal. I bump up the number to 200 when we discuss the manual field scanner.

Did you check to scan on fields , take a look at filed 4 5 6, is where this join fields appears

[PromGames]

maybe is related to the gras object is using or the type of grass that confuse to Courseplay as continuity of the terrain detail

I think CP sees the two field close enough together when using the scan on field tool that it joins them. I think the auto handles it differently though I am waiting for Claus input.
