Crash and Custom Doodad problem

[plumsy460]

I just tried launching my map for some testing with a friend.

Turns out every player except the host gets DC'ed in the initial beginning of the map.

In addition, lots of custom doodads were shown as big purple boxes (bugs) -> For everyone except me (the creator). -And that was in spite of whoever was hosting.

What could be the cause of this? How do I avoid these problems, please help.

Thanks a lot in advance

-make sure their map file is not corrupt(give them the map again)
-make sure you are not using data from external files

In case both of those things are in proper place: What else could be the causes?

i dont know anything else specific but generally some triggers can cause other players to disconnect, try disabling all triggers and then test the map without any triggers(dont forget to keep a copy of the original) if the disconnect still occurs then there is a problem with something you have imported, in that case make a new version of the map with the triggers and slowly start removing imports until the disconnect stops happening

if removing the triggers solves the problem then there is probably a tutorial somewhere about things that cause a disconnect

Very well. I'll try carefully to find the problem that way

Thank you!

You might be using local files. Are all object paths for the things turning into purple boxes set within the editor, or from a folder in the directory?

do you use Jass? if so, do you also use, or did you import vJass systems? If so, are you, or any of imported call I2S, R2S, S2I, S2R or GetWorldBounds?
