[Crash] Can you help here?

[stan0033]

Hey I was working on my map the other day and when saved and tested in wc3 it is displaying this crash error:

this

(however yo ucan edit it in editor)
Every other mao is running fine so i guess th problem is in the map, but can't figuire what it is. I tried by deleting all doodads. THen disabling some triggers. I checked of units are exceeding maximum limit. Maybe it's an imported file?

 

[Wietlol]

When is the error displayed exactly?

When you save the map?
Before you test the map?
While the map is loading (loading bar)?
Just after the map has finished loading?
Or on another moment?

(I suppose you have an infinite loop in OE but could be something else.)

 

[stan0033]

At the end of the loading bar

Were you playing music inside the sound editor? It crashes for me...

 

[IcemanBo]

THen disabling some triggers.

Disable all. If it runs properly, post the bug causing one.

 

[stan0033]

@Arad MNK YEs, I have soem ounds in the sound editor. They were added long ago,so they can't posibly cause crash

@IcemanBo It's not the triggers. I disabled them.

perhaps you can't test and you only have to do with that.

But, when you launch the map through warcraft 3 by copying your map in "scenario", what happens ? an error or it works?

 

[stan0033]

It crashes only if you try to play with in warcraft....

I think you messed up with the "Game interface" or "Gameplay Constants" under the advanced tab.

Try resseting those back to normal and I hope it will work.

 

[stan0033]

It's not it, I checked.

Does it crash on normal maps as well?
If so, it is a problem with your editor and you have to reinstall WE and maybe WC as well.

If not, then you have an infinite loop in your object editor.
In your object editor there are certain fields that can cause infinite loops making WC3 run the same thing over and over again and eventually crash.

One of these examples is upgrading a structure to itself.
(To another structure that upgrades into the first as well.)
Or spellbooks that have itself in it (same as structures can also be via other spellbooks).

There was also one about upgrades but I cant remember.

Save the map and save the map then under a new name (old one is backup).
Delete a few objects in the terrain editor (preplaced units etc) and test each time to see what units have caused the crash.
If the whole map is empty, then you have to remove the objects until you found it.
(It is ofcourse rediculous to remove everything one by one and testing each time so removing stuff like 50 by 50 and when you know in what 50 stuff your crash is, then you can go into a more in-depth search.)

Yeah, check what wietol said, In the object editor, there are certain fields which if you set to 0 then they cause lag or crashes.

If you need it to be zero (the field)

1. Select that field by a click.
2. Shift + Enter
3. Typpe in -1 instead of zero.
4. Done !!!

 

[stan0033]

I found out the problem is in the units. After I removed all units from the map it runs fine. Recently, the last units I added are units with scaling 2 or 3. Could this cause the crash?

 

[[E]clipse]

No, Scaling never causes crash...

 

[Arad MNK]

Units? Weird...

 

[stan0033]

Well, they are causing the world editor to lag. I removed them only, It's a ctually a few building unit types that make a town and they are scaled x2. After removign them the map runs OK. IDk what could be wrong with them.

Can you give a full screenshot of the Object Editor data of that structure?
(Means multiple screenshots to get all data.)

 

[Arad MNK]

If there isn't a problem, attach the map to find the problem. (Unless you want to protect your map)

Ok.... here it comes.
Hold your breath.


You have used the normal Arcane Vault as default building to sell your items.
That Arcane Vault sells an item called "Orb of Fire".
The "Text - Tooltip - Extended (utub)" of that Orb of Fire contains "<AIfb,DataA1>"
which refers to 'DataA1' of the object 'AIfb'.
Object 'AIfb' is the ability "Item Attack Fire Bonus".
So this will directly load the data from that item and place that value inside that tooltip.

However... here is your problem.
When creating custom data, your editor does not look if the rawcode of your new object is already used.
What happened is that you probably created another object using the same rawcode and it tries to load 'DataA1' from that object.
Now that that other object doesnt have an 'DataA1', it crashes the game as soon as your Arcane Vault is placed on the map.

I couldnt find the second object that had that rawcode, but the easiest solution is to find your "Orb of Fire" item in the Miscellaneous folder and replace "<AIfb,DataA1>" with "5" (which is the default value which you also use there).

 

[stan0033]

Thanks! I removed any items sold by the vault and now there is no crash . And I will see about the ID conflicts
