[Feedback] Compiled List of 1.30 / 1.29 Bugs & Issues

[disruptive_]

I have found an inconvenience with the Set Armor function:

• Unit - Set Armor of (Picked unit) to 0.00

It takes into account any bonus armor (green +armor) from abilities like devotion aura and items like ring of protection. So if you have a unit with a +100 devotion aura, and set its armor to 0, the unit's base armor will become -100. Obviously this makes the function dangerous to use, as if the unit loses this devotion aura, it will now have -100 armor and the armor calculation will need to be run again (needless to say how inconvenient it is to detect when an armor-giving ability/item is added/removed from a unit).

The function should be changed to (or added) Set Base Armor so that it's easier to set the armor of a unit to an intended value even when there are buffs/items involved. I believe i am right in saying that a huge amount of WC3 custom maps contain abilities that temporarily modify armor which in my opinion makes it more apparent at how limited the current Set Armor function is.

Another reason why this quirk irritates me is that the function Set Base Damage is something you could run with Set Armor to endlessly scale the combat stats of units in custom maps. Set Base Damage works perfectly as it ignores green +damage, meaning you can dynamically scale the damage of units all game long without abilities and items skewing calculations, but you can't do the same with armor, because as soon as a unit has a +armor buff or item then you effectively should not run the function on them (or write a massive long calculation to take temporary bonuses into account)

The same can be said for Set Max HP and Set Max Mana; it would be nice to also have Set Base Max HP and Set Base Max Mana. But we already have ways of efficiently adding base HP and base mana to units already (unlike Armour) so they're definitely less important.

I also pointed out that behaviour. If you use BonusMod (doubt if there is a GUI system), then together with set armor you have full access to bonus and modified armor (base armor is GetArmor(returns full) minus mods).
If you use GetArmor inside SetArmor (SetArmor(unit, GetArmor + X)) it behaves "properly" (will modify base armor).

BUG

The biggest maps, such as Iceborn v1.9 and The Chosen Ones 1.0 , now crash giving MEMORY-RELATED errors. No matter what you do.

If this isn't a bug and someone knows some solution, PLEASE, TELL ME! I BEG YOU! I've already tried EVERYTHING of easy access: compatibility modes, access as an administrator, lowering the resolution... It all fails, since the beginnings of 2017 (patch 1.28, maybe?). Btw, my World Editor doesn't work anymore, It opens with too little windows and it doesn't opens the maps!

They open fine for me, so its related to you or your installation of warcraft 3.
Windows 10.
16gb Ram (shouldnt matter at all due to 32bit)
Default warcraft 3 settings on a mostly clean install.

Thank God someone replied! (And I hope more will do)

I, too, manage to open the maps by using the Integrated video card instead of the Nvidia Geforce one, but the problem presents itself nonetheless while playing the maps! I'm almost sure (but if you know more on the matter you can contradict me) that it is a problem related to the latest patches, because while I bought the computer that I'm currently using just two weeks ago, I had the same exact problem with the old computer I got!

BTW the problem is the same exact one that is described here: Problem with saveing the game Only it happens while playing, too, not just while saving

(For the sake of visibility, I rewrite my initial message:

[Himperion]

The removal of the alternative water textures in War3.mpq, these are used for the seven water elemental packs and other elemental models that don't show texture in 1.29.

These are the textures named A_Water, B_Water,etc.

While logging to Battle.net, text selection at the text fields has weird offset.

Also my profile name is compressed for unknown reason.

[Glint]

While I was testing the new special effect natives, I encountered a problem regarding this native:

native BlzSetSpecialEffectPitch takes effect whichEffect, real pitch returns nothing

It does not give the correct results when the values are within the ranges: 1.57-4.7 radians or 90-270 degrees.

But when I tested changing the pitch in BlzSetSpecialEffectOrientation, it seems to work just fine.

EDIT: I'm using 1.29.2

EDIT 2: Added a test map in the attachment.

 

[MinorCharacter]

This has been noted on other sites, but didn't see it in the first post here. At certain aspect ratios, the mouse cursor is de-centered and where you appear to click on the minimap, or even for some buttons, is not where you are actually clicking, making jumping around the minimap challenging. My aspect ratio is 1280X1024X32.

As an additional note for Blizzard, since they are still patching Warcraft 3, should not the Prologue campaign in the Reign of Chaos menu finally include the rest of the Demo missions that form a big part of the Horde's story? I mean sure we can play it through the custom campaign menu, but it doesn't feel as right.

 

[Eregos]

Game Bug:
1. The score screen after 24 player games displays two copies of the original 12 colors, instead of all 24 colors. The variant of the original 12 colors that each new color most closely resembles is used. I've presumed that Blizzard knows about this and intends to fix it later. It's just some spot in the game code where they haven't fully updated the color system to support 24 instead of 12. This makes it confusing if there's say both a Maroon and Red player or a Navy and Blue player or a Violet and Purple player in a game as you can't distinguish them on the score screen.

Apparently it's not officially a bug, but I swear it wasn't the case before that after selecting team colors in a lobby, that clicking the selection box again then clicking away without making a selection would cause the player's color to revert to the next available color, instead of keeping the color they'd already selected. It's annoying now, in big lobbies I like to be choosy with colors, and I tend to click away a couple times real fast and now this causes me to have to re-pick my color every time.

 

[deepstrasz]

Alright, the new Tranquility spell broke a triggered spell of mine. Isn't there a way to revert to the old spell?
It does not respond to the a unit starts the effect of an ability anymore.

Why would you want the temp invulnerability for that spell when it's one of if not the fastest recharging ultimates? Why only the Keeper of the Grove to benefit from a few secs of anti-stun and not the Priestess or any other utimate channeling hero?

 

[MyPad]

I think Starfall also has that benefit. I noticed it when I was trying to blow up Archimonde's base in ROC and deal more damage while invulnerable with Starfall.

 

[pick-a-chew]

Can confirm that using the new native to change the extended tooltip of an item causes a crash.

 

[BloodSoul]

BlzSetUnitBaseDamage is not permanent - morphing a unit won't retain the new value. Is that intended? If so, could you add a flag to the function like the old team has done to str, agi, and int?

native          SetHeroStr          takes unit whichHero, integer newStr, boolean permanent returns nothing
native          SetHeroAgi          takes unit whichHero, integer newAgi, boolean permanent returns nothing
native          SetHeroInt          takes unit whichHero, integer newInt, boolean permanent returns nothing

[DracoL1ch]

more likely damage is being added to current data while morphs apply new ID's data instead

 

[deepstrasz]

Yeah. Basically, the morphed is another unit which hans't got the 200 applied. So, you'll have to also apply that on the Demon Hunter after it changes form.

 

[deepstrasz]

-not sure if its on purpose, but u cant scale special effects attached on units, change its alpha and others

Can confirm. Colour change doesn't work either and it's really useful at times especially when importing models becomes a pain for details like special effects.

 

[deepstrasz]

I don't remember noticing this until today...
It seems that the last two Faceless Ones are considered ranged but actually attack ground units from a melee range and air units with the same attack from a 500 range as opposed to other units which have two attacks with different range (and damage) like the Granite Golem. And come on, the Faceless don't shoot lightning but throw Death Coil projectiles.

I think it's because the damage and attack types are the same for both attack modes but it should not be considered a ranged unit when it has a melee attack on ground. Because then all units which have an air attack mode with a range bigger than melee should also be considered ranged.

That might be it for tonight's nitpicking.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I'm really interested in that, actually... So is your problem that the tooltip is lying, the command card is lying, or the soups is confusing, or what?

 

[deepstrasz]

I'm really interested in that, actually... So is your problem that the tooltip is lying, the command card is lying, or the soups is confusing, or what?

The issues are the tooltips mentioning a main melee unit as ranged one (+shooting stuff it doesn't) and the attack which is not separated into two (one for melee and one for ranged as seen on the Golem and other units like the Dragons for instance even if both their attacks are ranged but the targeting is different: air and ground) showing only the ranged one thus creating confusion that the unit is actually a normal ranged ground unit (e.g. Archer) instead of it being a main melee unit with the addition of a ranged anti air attack.

 

[deepstrasz]

Looks like changing unit's size % of its original size actually includes the size before (the changed one) and not the one in the object editor.

 

[Wareditor]

This is just an issue of wording in the GUI function itself that existed before iirc. It should just say of its size.

 

[deepstrasz]

of its size.

Current size that is. But I really prefer it to act on the unit's size in the object editor because I'll have to increase %s every time if I want to progressively shrink or grow units...

 

[Wareditor]

But I really prefer it to act on the unit's size in the object editor

Anybody would want to have acces to object editor default data of a unit, however it's currently not doable unless you store the default values yourself.
So it's neighter a bug or an issue but a suggestion I guess.

Yeah, it's bad that it considers the default id (model's?) size and not the one in the object editor nor the current one in the change size trigger...
Workarounds suck :|

EDIT:
It works with a bit of annoyance as in you have to test the actual size it shows by trial and error. However, all of the three categories have to be modified not just the height, so, my bad.

 

[deepstrasz]

You're not sure ?

 

[wrsuperboy]

must be yet another issue with optimized maps and SLK? Drop the AbilityData content related to the skills to see

Hi DracoL1ch,
After releasing of 1.30 PTR, the bug I found regarding some heroes' aghanim skills is fixed. So, it can be confirmed that it was problem of 1.29 ,not an SLK issue.

I referred to SLK parser or caching mechanics being broken, obviously since map works on other patches it's just SOME patch has issues

 

[Tommi Gustafsson]

Custom movie functionality is now completely broken in 1.30:
Patch 1.30 PTR Live

Update: Custom Movies work but need to be encoded in VP9 CBR AVI format and they must be included inside the Campaign/Map archive. I'm going to make a tutorial once 1.30 is out.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I will be trying to update this thread soon with up-to-date bugs on Patch 1.30 (PTR).

Btw, Preloader seems broken again.

 

[BloodSoul]

I've commented about the following in another thread, but I'd like to state it here too.

Some noticeable bugs regarding gameplay:
- DaybreakRooster and DuskWolf sound effects are being played at 100% volume regardless of what you defined in your war3 sound settings.
- I was watching a stream earlier, and a peon which was queued to build a Watch Tower got its tower "phantom texture" stuck for a while. The streamer didn't see exactly how that texture disappeared, but he mentioned that the peon died a few minutes later.

Here's some more regarding the restored/re-enabled special effect animation functions. In 1.30, Blizzard added two new data types to the game.

The first problem I ran into is that when the user tries to declare GUI variables using those new data types, the editor, instead, generates them as integers.

globals
    // User-defined
    integer udg_effect_anim= 0
    integer udg_effect_subAnim= 0
endglobals

So, doing this will obviously throw an error.

• Set effect_anim = Birth
• Set effect_subAnim = AlternateEx

The second problem is that in no way I was able to make an effect play a "composite animation", i.e., "walk alternate", or "morph alternate". Even if I added the sub-animation after or before playing an animation type, the effect simply ignored it - Demon Hunter model was used while testing this.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Another good & exhaustive bug-test, my man. But what I'm interested in are those "SUBANIM" Types... Some I'm quite familiar with, but others (Spiked? Flesh? Wounded? Critical? Flail?) seem very interesting to me...

[Spatulon]

I will be trying to update this thread soon with up-to-date bugs on Patch 1.30 (PTR).

Btw, Preloader seems broken again.

I really didn't want to believe this :\

I just tested your codeless save/load map on 1.30 and sure enough, it isn't working at all.

I really really really hope this patch doesn't go live with preloader broken.A lot of save/load maps rely on it. The RPG community (and many more) would be hit hard if an issue like that persisted. Maps like mine that rely on your codeless save/load are doomed. I can't even revert back to the old way of writing a code down and inputting it back in because I save too many characters to fit into chat.

I'm not trying to sound like a doomsayer or anything but that would 100% lock my map out of being playable until they fixed it. I do have a community of players, and I doubt they'll stick around with zero development and the inability to play the map.

With that said, I do have faith that the current dev team won't let that happen, they're really in touch with the community and doing a fantastic job.

 

[Tommi Gustafsson]

3D Sounds are also broken in 1.30.

You can no longer set sounds as 3D, not even the original sounds that are 3D.
Here's an example of LordaeronSummerFliesLoop1:

I just used it as Sound. Of course, the 3D sound box should be enabled and checked by default, as is the case in 1.29:

 

[Tommi Gustafsson]

There is also some kind of a problem with Unit - Move command. In Defenders of Dwarvenkind, the dwarven miner, who tells King Buri about the gold mine does not run to the gold mine after the cinematic. See the video:
Defenders130.mp4

In 1.29 and all previous patches, it worked like this:
https://drive.google.com/a/hyvanmie...hXf71Y6GTPTtr8BTLLKqFZJ5ETNB/view?usp=sharing

The code is very simple, see it here:

There is also some kind of a problem with Unit - Move command.

Are you sure the other triggers in the action box work after the conditions? Have you checked that part with a Game Text message?

Hmm... I was able to make the miner move, when I added a 0.1-second wait before the move. But I'm not sure which problem it resolved.

The screenshots are now in the PNG format.
Also, Multiboard works now!
Good job Blizzard!
However, the multiboard is missing the button art. The button indeed works but it is invisible.

The Create New Map dialog has also an obvious bug:

Are the occluder natives going to be fixed? This is based on what I got from the bug reports of yesteryears and yonder.

Also, a user reported that in the latest patch, the native that allowed the granting of shared vision for players 13-24, is bugged.

I found an extremely BAD bug. All imports in the maps inside the campaign (in Import Manager F12) are severely bugged:

1. All imports that override existing files are replaced by the original files, when you edit the maps (using Edit Map).
2. All imports that do not override exisiting files are replaced by a 0-byte file.

You can reproduce the bug as follows:
1. Download the Gnoll Campaign: Gnoll Campaign
2. Open it in the campaign editor and edit CinematicIntro.w3x
3. Have a look at the Import Manager (F12). In 1.29 the file sizes are the following:

but in 1.30 they read:

The file sizes are those of the original files, except for the .mdx file, which is 0-byte length. Actually, your files are still there. If you edit the map, the World Editor replaces your files with the original files and destroys the .mdx file.

4. Make a small modification to the triggers or somewhere else.
5. Save the map.
6. Blam! All your custom files are gone!

As far as I can see, this bug does not affect Campaign Imports (in Campaign Editor).

Does this unit event work? It does not seem to work in my version (1.29.2)

EVENT_UNIT_HIDDEN

YES, most imported .mdx in DotA don't work!

I'm somewhat confused about this: BlzSetHeroProperName doesn't work with hero illusions. Maybe that's intended?

• Illusion Change Proper Name
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is an illusion) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Hero - Set Name of (Triggering unit) to Something Else
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Incinerate\FireLordDeathExplode.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

I already mentioned that. they completely ignore it both on themselves and their origin hero.

EVENT_UNIT_HIDDEN

it never did and so far looks like a rudimentary thing

What do you mean by "origin hero"? If you're referring to the caster, well, the function works for normal heroes in 1.29.2

 

[doom_sheep]

Illusions always have the name the hero spawned with. If you change Yozhura to something else the illusions he makes afterwards will still be named Yozhura.

On 1.29.2 after I saved the map with wrong call remove location names and the progress bar remained there. I saved once more after I corrected the names even though the save progress bar was still there and remained there. However, the map was saved as there was no * on the menu bar after the map name.
Closed the map and tried loading it again and the World Editor crashed. Then, I opened the editor, loaded the map and this is what happened ingame:



The spell's hotkey doesn't work by the way.
