1 year ago Hello, these are not build errors. The build succeeds at 100% without errors. The gcc compiler has different set of diagnostics enabled by default on linux, windows and macos. The observed compiler warnings are false positives, wrong assumptions made by the compiler.
GitHub Actions builds are available here that you can try out without building the source code yourself. There are asset files in the assets folder of the source tree that you may have skipped to copy to your M.A.X. installation folder when you followed the build instructions. The last sentence in the guide does not explicitly say what to copy where, sorry for that.
The linux deb installer from the Actions page installs the assets so you do not need to copy anything manually if you use it. It does not install any dependencies though.
If the language file is missing, the game executable terminates at startup. Probably this is what you observe.
The localization module executes at the static global object initialization step of the C++ run-time initialization. At that time the SDL library is not yet initialized and SDL's logging services to the standard output are not available. I agree that user feedback on why the executable terminates prematurely would be useful. I will try to find a solution to that.
I will also check whether I could add an install command to the cmake configuration file which would be able to copy the appropriate assets together with the executable, and dependent dynamic link libraries on select platforms, to the user provided installation folder where M.A.X. v1.04 resides.
On why there are no releases on the front page, please read the latest blog entry or this discussion thread, thanks.
If the provided feedback resolves your issue, please close the bug report.

4) I don't like random rolls. I captured alien plane from 1st attempt with rookie, but other cheaper units with longer bar sometimes takes many turns attempts. Also how alien units getting experience - my tank already got 2 times, assault gun and plane 0, but they killed more.
5) Experience for mechanized units also possible in theory. Also it can be united for all units or units of one type.
6) Upgrades strange. Seems components base like in Warzone RTS will be better. Here strange that AA car, AA ship, AA towers have different range component, but I think they use almost same gun + rockets component.
7) Doesn't check yet, but seems if unit have movement bigger than range of tower - it can move threw without being attacked. It need to have a stop in range of tower to be attacked?
8) Also does material for connector under new building return? There is no reclaiming seems like in BAR (SC etc). Only self-destroy and grab with buildozer.
9) Tower cannot be ugraded with supply truck or engineer near. Need storage connected.
10) Units can fire threw buildings (here seems no indirect/direct fire etc), Radars works threw obstacles (BAR, ZK fixed it), didn't build port yet, but seems no sonar level.
11) There is most optimal zoom level in game, that doesn't obvious from start and when I find it - doesn't change anymore 
- discrete level upper will hide empty survey and often misclick. Discrete level lower - not much map fit in screen. I hope some updates with render will appear to use tiles from lower zoom level on this zoom size with modern resolution.
12) Didn't understand how to preview movement path. Units start moving. Preview only possible when there is no speed.
13) Interesting idea about balance between cheaper or faster build.
14) Would be nice auto saves in end and beginning of very turn for 3 turns (6 saves), because do it manually for case of crashes.
15) DOSbox version takes only 91.4 MB memory and 3.6% CPU. Convenient for short pauses while working, don't need to close and load

Source of bug?
What is the issue you encountered?
builded maxrun like here https://klei1984.github.io/max/build/ today, but it doesn't run not from terminal, not direct. also got errors in build

Ubuntu 22.04.01 Maybe it's good to publish latest build release
