When did you update the triggers for colors? I haven't tested if it works on 6.3.4 yet so..
Click to expand...
I didn't update it but i re-enabled it in 6.3.4.
Other map developers looked at my code and saw no issues with it.

But if the new colors cause any desyncs it will be clear that the new colors are broken and I will disable them in a future build. If it causes any desyncs, obviously someone would have to report that to me.

Theres nothing wrong with the trigger, every color uses the same exact set of conditions only with each individual color, theres zero difference in the trigger between -color red and -color wheat.

I think blizzard still has kinks to work out with the new colors though.

Oh since you are here, i make a new post, 3 minutes into the game (right now) i crashed. and i didnt do anything. had 7 more people in the new slots.
Edit: name spoofing (a player spoofing a name with hex code) is also crashing the game.
Also i've seen other maps working with new slots, like eras zombie invasion with 24P

It's probably because i have a trigger that stores your original name in a string variable.
And their spoofed names can't be stored in a string

Should I fix this? it would just be me removing the original name trigger

Are you guys saying the new slots literally don't work?
maps code wise there should be no differences between new colors and old colors at this point, all of systems effecting player colors like auto income, etc are updated, have been for some time now.

I found a variable that only had 11 arrays, could be the source of player 13-24's issues.

->It appears the variable that stores original names has no problem with alt codes, you can set your name to one in game

Ill rush the patch out now, hopefully this is the thing causing the issue, because for players 13-24 it is trying to set a variable that does not exist, now that's fixed, I scanned through all variables for any other issues, none found. Also spent half a hour perusing through triggers, didn't find any issues.

I do have concerns about my pvp arena though, I'm not sure how the dialog box would handle it if two people stepped into the circle at the same time, etc.

Fixed the bots for the next version.
I don't know why desyncs are happening, at this point i think only blizzard can fix it.
Seems they are fixing desyncs and loading issues on a per map basis on their patch notes, I wonder how I can get them to look at mine.

yeah, the bots attack are registered as "magic" and the sewers monsters somehow have spell immunity or something, there could be other units/things too that can get over with this.
Also people still trying to place towers in the jobs that already have been nerfed, units too. (crypt keeper and doctor) the income is still too high, and its pretty annoying i have to forcefully forfeit them to do that (threaten them to destroy it :D), everything else exept those new slot desyncs and deselect bug is fine, keep up the great work :)

yeah, the bots attack are registered as "magic" and the sewers monsters somehow have spell immunity or something, there could be other units/things too that can get over with this.

Turns out the Ezco Security bot (the first tier robot), had total magic immunity spell, dunno why, but I Removed it completely.

I just nerfed the non-hero gold by about 25% for both doctor and crypt keeper, I calculated the crypt keepers new possible income with tower instakills, it would be 10 gold per second, which isn't that bad.
Doctors with tower after this nerf would only amount to 15 gold per second, with Instant tower germ kills.
Instant being the word there, if it takes more than 1 second to kill them than you can practically cut that in half.

And I increased the prizes of the other job aspects a little.

Edit: What would you consider the worst or least used job? I want to target it for improvements.

how do you get ascended?

With the correct end-game secret hero and a certain extremely powerful item you kill the ascension temple near Daethz below the pvp arena.

I just released patch 6.3.6, the exploit with the ezco robots squashed.
I combed through code yet again looking for anything that could cause desyncs and came up empty handed again, adding more comments to my code along the way, which speeds up my combing in the future, and blizzards if they ever look at my code.

Anyway im starting to think about 6.4, I intend to add more job improvements and I want to modernize the house purchasing triggers, right now they still use the original loap trigger which buys a "unit" and then deletes the unit right after it spawns, which is a waste of time, can do it with a powerup item instead, it's really the one system I never redesigned myself, because it worked as intended.

Also planning to buff some of the spellshop abilities and give blacksmith some new patterns, notably I want to give him some furniture patterns and two or three more powerful patterns.
Considering a blacksmith "order" mechanic where the blacksmith will click a button, someone will order a item, he will get like 5 minutes to deliver it and make money or lose money if he fails.

It was the Cartel, Governor, Airforce, Police, Scientist and Ezco when it happened to me. Any idea what's happening, or is it just on my side?

Maybe it's related to the hero and items that I have, rather than the job itself? I was a Fire Archer at 100 with Exoskeleton, Shadow Energy, Corrupted Mother Heart, Targeting System, Destroyer Helm and Power Gauntlets.

When I started fresh with an Assassin, it worked fine.

Still trying to reproduce the issue on my end, items shouldn't be causing that, there's no item related trigger that deletes units in the entire game.

This might be a weird one, but what about the follower upgrades? When I had no upgrades, it was fine. But, when I have it at level 99 (for all of them), the units got deleted but only the one that were originally available, not the ones that were created. But this time, the food was removed accordingly.

I'll try to record it, if I can.

All of the upgrades were at level 99. The ones that were created did not die, like the elite cartel, harvester and the helicopter (from vehicle department). But the ones that were given from the job, like the melee cartel guard, drug runner and drug helicopter did. The food also dropped from 153 to 113.

Thanks figured out what is causing it.
For some reason if you go over 3 upgrades which is normal for wc3 and the units are returned to the town AI control they all die.
Weird.

Ok after a bunch of upgrade tweaking I got it to stop instakilling all of the original units.

Ill release another patch with this fix within the next 2 days hopefully.

Edit: Released it, noticed the new update has 64bit support and I can't seem to find my custom maps folder in the game, how odd

you must explore the map, and read what daethz said, with correct hero and correct item you can become one.

I just learned the Custom Map folder is now located in your This PC > Documents > Warcraft lll > Maps as of the new patch.

In other news, this patch introduced some major world editor bugs including a bug that can wipe all string data including all item names and unit names from a map during the save and load process.

For that reason I am going to take a break until blizzard fixes this issue.

Blizzard fixed the major world editor bug so looks like im back, keeping more backups of my map just in case.

6.4 will feature a brand new hero selection area, because im bored of the old one and it's time to tear apart more of the remaining similarities this loap has to other loaps.

I'm having a problem with the map
Whenever I go to the area near the spiders we all crash, and when I go to singleplayer and check it out with "iseedeadpeople" my game instantly crashes.
Is there a solution for this?
Click to expand...
This crash is finally effecting me.
I just spent a hour trying to figure out wtf was causing it.

It appears the blight is causing a crash, weird, figured this out by first removing all the dodads, then the units then the regions, still crashed, made the entire area blank grass and that finally fixed it.

So I think ill just remove the terrain blight for 6.4, this is now #1 on my priority list.

Patch 6.4 released, the crashing issue fixed, using the cheat "Iseedeadpeople" in single player mode no longer causes a crash, and going to the spider area no longer causes it either.
Decided to push 6.4 out to fix that otherwise I would have waited for more things on my list to get finished.

Just a note, as of this patch players can now only own one house at a time.

In the latest version, at least in single player - using -repick command removes your hero and puts you back at hero selection, but selecting another hero gives the error "You cannot have more than one hero"
I was using dark red.

Hello @Daethz, do you know how to fix the bug with deselection? I have the same bug in my map League of Heroes Arena 2.2V and I wonder if you know how to fix it.

The unit stays selected but the ability is deselected. This bug doesnt always happens in all games.

Thx!

Map : LEAGUE of HEROES ARENA v.2.2V • Now With AI

I'm not entirely sure if i even fixed my selection bug.
The only thing i found was using replace unit trigger (for heros in my map) i put in some stop commands first, like "Stop all actions" movement and spells and whatnot, apparently theres a bug in Wc3 with replacements and transforms if they are doing anything when they transform or get replaced.

There seems to be a bug that causes an instant crash, happened to me 3 times now in the newest map version on the newest wc3 version (1.31.0 PTR)

It happened twice when i was killing the escaped prisoners from the event (didn't actually manage to kill the leader because it crashed during the fight)

And once it happened while fighting the shadow void boss (sorry can't remember the name) it's the one that is to the right of the destructobots place, no idea what can be causing it

It was near the start of the game so not much happening in the map otherwise (for the prisoners) just basic heroes
And for the shadow boss i was transformed into a Vampire and one other player was a Cyborg

I'll try to do the prisoner event once more to confirm it

Edit: Different crash happened to me right as i was about to kill the electrical event boss in the botom right of the map this one actually popped up as a crash (the ones before were just a frozen game with no error or anything)

Well, there's only one trigger that runs in the middle of a boss fight, and thats the one that forces bosses to use their spells if they have enough mana.
This one will be incredibly difficult to figure out :vw_death:

One more thing i figured out was that if we saved and restarted the game pretty much every 30 minutes or something like that, the crash didn't happen once
So it only happens when the game has been running for a bit

And on an unrelated note it also seems that the alien invasion and zombie invasion don't trigger if you are playing on a loaded game (scientist had everything researched and area 52 guy too)

Invasions can only happen once, did they happen previously?
Otherwise there could be an issue with reloaded upgrade variables not working correctly, not sure how I would fix that in my map tbh, messing around with settings could fix it if thats the case, i guess ill have to try.

The only explanation i have for the crashing during boss fights is the forced spell cast trigger, that said i don't think the riot boss is even included in that trigger, so weird.

Is it happening During the fight? Or when you kill him, could it be the moment you kill him? Then it would be the item drop trigger and could be related to the point variables i recently added to the game to prevent leaks, that said if it isn't happening consistently that gets confusing, unless its attempting to set the point on a spot on the map that can't handle a item being put on it and causes a crash. Hmm

One thing i found out is that the crash only seems to happen in the new version of wc3 and it happens on any map i've tried, you just need to be playing for like 30 minutes and then seemingly anything could trigger it. (i've tried some maps that work both on the new and the old version 1.27 i think it was, and the crash only happened in the new version)

To answer your question, the crash sometimes happens in the middle of the fight and sometimes close to the end but i don't think it was EXACTLY at the end a.k.a last hit

Oh and the invasions just simply didn't trigger at all on a loaded game, i've tried to do the invasions on a fresh save in a single take (without saving/loading the game) and they worked perfectly but once you get into a fresh game then reload that game (save and then load) something breaks and invasions no longer trigger

And it isn't just the invasions, i've noticed that the messages you get while you are researching as a scientist don't appear if you are playing on a loaded game

I mean a simple workaround is to jump into the game, immediately do the 2 invasions before the crash occurs, THEN save and load the game and the invasions will still be there, so you can play the map like you would

Could be a blizzard-caused bug then, are you playing on the Live patch or the PTR?
If it happens midfight the only thing it can be is the boss spell trigger, crash-on-kill would be the loot drop trigger.

Thats the difficult thing right now is blizzard is really destabilizing their own game with these rapid massive patches, hard to tell if a crash is caused by my game or if its just interacting poorly with blizzards changes.

I've tried it on the PTR version, it's probably Blizzard's fault tho, since it happens on other maps too

Hey Daethz idk if this is know but during the fight with the demon lord in the top left of the map its about a 80% chance that the game will crash during the fight. I love this map but that's the only problem to crashes I've experience. Hopefully this gets to you.

I don't know what blizzard did but everything seems to be crashing now, even tiny irrelivent things that have literally no reason to crash.
That said i see its now set to "variation 270" which I never did, for the portal that spawns, theres only one variation, blizzard is breaking the entire game with their changes.

And now every time I attempt to spawn anything to see if it causes a crash, literally everything crashes every time, so idk what blizzards doing.

Just crashed on the spider boss. Also, I recommend for the troop upgrades, a +10 and maybe +20 upgrade. +10 would probably work, tbh. This would actually be really helpful. Anything that decreases the amount of time doing boring stuff is a godsend.

edit: after killing the spider boss. I used three AK47, upgraded to 100 attack, 50 defense, 100 movement speed, and 60(?) health upgrades. Right after killing the stone boss prior, if that helps.

So you killed the spider boss but crashed after? how long after? After the loot shows up there's nothing else but the respawn timer.

I'm holding off ATM waiting for Wc3 reforged, I have a feeling with that will come a whole bunch of blizzard crash fixes.
Also im going to have to do a ton of changes to the map in reforged, the model changes alone will cause me to go through most of the units in the game and rethink their models.
Not to mention many of the custom models will be too "Outdated" to keep using (they will look terrible compared to reforged models).
Thankfully there's a TON of new models, old recolored units have their own models now, its amazing.

One thing id like to redesign is the alien invasion, after reforged comes out, its been on mind for a long time.

3 bugs.

Champion of arena button is broken. You cannot fight with the arena champions.

If you have one player on the marriage circle (the other player was on the bride), and you keep going on and off of the circle, the list gets better. It becomes yes no yes no yes no, etc. It might be triggered by having more than one unit (any unit) on the circle. Just test, it'll take five minutes.

A player tried to buy a club (probably the one near drunkard), and it took the money, but he didn't have the property.

Now this time, the spider didn't crash us after dying, oddly enough. It was slain multiple times.

The arena couldn't just break one of them, did you have at least 4 arena points? That's literally the only other requirement compared to the weaker arena, anyways i added in a popup warning if you don't have the points.
Now, if the circle inside of the arena was still owned by a player after he died and it never reset, that would be broken, the arena entry depends on that circle returning to town ownership, the only way i can think of breaking it even conceivably is someone killing the arena participating hero from outside of the arena.

Looks like there was a missing dialog box clearer, re-added, also just threw in a thing that will block anyone from stealing your circle, the circle can only be triggered by non-pet heroes btw.

The northwest club was in fact broken, my own testing confirmed it and i found the reason immediately after, I forgot to update the event trigger for that one with the improved system, fixed for next patch.

I don't think the crash came from the spider boss, could be a desync but that usually only happens with extremely long games, was your game several hours old when the spider crashed it?
