Troglodyte In the Underbelly: Github Limbo

 Author : Daniel Reder

Over the past week the weather has been on the more extreme side. This part of the country (southern Tennessee) received an insane amount of snow, resulting in the power and internet having unpredictable behavior. Luckily, I have a surge protected laptop and access to a hotspot. However, with the internet being spotty, it seems that several commits/pushes did not find their way to the repo.


Unfortunately, I do not know of a fix to this problem, as it is the first time I have had a push go somewhere other than the repo. However, the solution was to not push at peak internet usage times, as it seemed that my service provider was pushing the load of multiple servers onto other servers outside the area. I'm unsure of where my data went during that time, but it was not to the repo so it was definitely not something I wanted to happen again, and made sure to not let happen again.

I had used the map to test the prefabs and then deleted them at a later commit, but for some reason, the map file size was huge. Later on, I was able to fix the file size (This was because somehow the map rebuilt itself using Global Illumination On in the terrain settings, so I just had to turn that off). But even after fixing the file size, it was complaining about it being too big. I figured this was because past commits still had that issue, so I looked into it.  I tried some solutions suggested by people, but nothing seemed to work. In the end, this resulted in both the Main Map and the House map having a duplicate index, which was throwing an error that wo...
