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

[Abovegame]

There's also this:

 

[Krazykid]

The unit this guy who crashes gets, does it use a custom model? They changed BLP loading behaviour so it is possible some textures can cause crashes.

I was thinking it could be the custom model, but i tried removing the custom model and it still crashed.
Unless i need to remove it completely in import manager.

In that screenshot it shows you have not increased the resolution and it's at 1024x576 which is very low. I asked you earlier if you turned it up and you said yes but this screenshot shows otherwise.



Sorry I was getting mixed up and thinking about the following code:

function BoolexprTest takes nothing returns nothing // no boolean
endfunction

call TriggerAddCondition(t, Filter(function BoolexprTest)) // valid

It doesnt make any difference its same fuzzy look as in 4:3 and its 1024x768 ingame screenshot.

It looks bad as you are only running it at 1024*576 pixels.

Turn off fixed aspect ratio, select Resolution pulldown and choose your display's native resolution. The result is super clean/smooth HD depending on your display capabilities.

Anyway your images do show a bug. It is reporting resolution as "1024x768x0" where it should actually be saying "1024x768x32" or "1024x768". This is purely a display error as Warcraft III was designed to support 16 bit colour as well as 32bit colour but modern OSes only support 32bit colour.

For wide screen resolutions the fixed aspect ratio flag must be off, otherwise it will only list 4:3 resolutions. Most consumer displays are 16:9 now so chances are you will want a wide screen resolution.

You said same thing to me when 1.28 rolled out xD i dont give a damn about 16:9 i always play on 4:3 with black bars so ui like command bar and map is on edge of the screen. I want it to work and display properly because it does display correctly in 1.28.5
EDIT: Here are the screenshots so you quit blaming me for that -_-
1)1.29 ptr

Spoiler

2)1.28.5

Spoiler

Same exact settings, difference being that 1.28.5 is razor sharp in comparison(tho i would love some higher 4:3 res detected since i have 1080p screen, something around vertical 800 would be good....icons would get too small and it would be even sharper on text)
Graphics settings dropbars look stretched, buttons look less detailed.

 

[CanFight]

well a few problems with 48/9 format, (kinda works i guess) in game. But in the menu the mouse moved 1/3 of the speed sideways, still moving at the originall speed up and down. Maybe becouse the menu is 4/3 format but the mouse is treated as 48/9?

You play at 48/9 for real xD?

It detects what your GPU says it supports. You can still force a resolution like 1440*1080 like I did.

That said Warcraft III does now support wide screen in 1.29 so you need to disable fixed aspect ratio and simply choose your display's native resolution.

Yeh I doubt they will be supporting that fully. Practically no game does as few people have such insane display setups.

 

[Krazykid]

Figured out that the custom icons i was using in my map were causing the game to crash. I got rid of them and everything works.

Can you upload some of those icons?

 

[wc3neverdies]

I found a little bug, when you try to build something the red spots on the temporary model does not appers anymore, so you can't tell if you can build in a spot until the games says it

Edit: this appens when you are <12 player number

 

[Dr Super Good]

Can you upload some of those icons?

Chances are the icons are malformed in some way. So uploading some would be useful.

 

[stan0033]

The most obvious thing that bothers me is that the maximum resolution is 1024x768. At least for me. My laptop supports 1366x768

I have no problem running at 1080p. Try forcing the resolution like one used to.

BTNTrack
BTNINV_Misc_Bomb_01

 

[Dr Super Good]

BTNTrack

This texture has malformed mipmap images (mipmaps above 32*32 are all 32*32 instead of their correct sizes).

BTNINV_Misc_Bomb_01

This texture has nonsense alpha bits value (JPEG content does not support 6 bit alpha).

 

[aple]

I consider this a bug because it's normally possible (and intended) to be able to use 0,-11 for button positions: You can't set a Button Position to this (0,-11) via the new button position functions.

I'd also like to request that we can change Unit button positions, and really any button positions in general, as well.

EDIT: Looks like you can see other player's mana bars? That's really strange and probably a bug, but there's no way to tell for sure.

"Multiboards aren't placed at the top right point of the new 16:9 resolution but at the old 4:3 position. Chat is as well. Is this intentional?"

I almost think this would be intentional because that keeps them in the same positions as before. Like how the Minimap and Command Card are not in the corners, either, but instead in the same positions as they'd be in 4:3

 

[Kaijyuu]

The minimap/etc aren't obscuring the player's vision, though. The hero icons were indeed moved all the way to the left, and multiboards ideally would be moved for similar reasons.

 

[bbbb1211]

SetUnitNameAll() is not working. And I think it would be better to take the unitid as an argument instead of a unit.

SetItemName() is working. But it works like SetItemNameAll().
Other item setters are the same.

 

[terrio]

-added base damage doesnt affect illusions, and is lost on morph abillities like militia call
-mouse event still working when game is paused
-the fps in main menu and ingame is choppy
things i would like added
+abillity to add condition stopping mouse click event to not work when the cursor is at UI
+60fps support
+player-only tooltip change(for example show damage on tooltip based on stat of hero)

 

[wc3neverdies]

I was messing up with the new natives on ability cooldown.

function SetUnitAbilityCooldown takes unit u, integer abilityId, real timeout, real remaining returns nothing
//Modifies the current cooldown progress of an ability for a unit. Timeout will clamp remaining for logical reasons. Set timeout or remaining to zero to instantly complete cooldown.

I tought that you can modify the cooldown after the ability is casted. It says the ''current cooldown progress'' of the ability. So i tired to do a simple trigger to modifiy it but it doesnt. It only effect the cooldown after the ability is finished casting. Did i misunderstand the description? Also the timeout real in the function is the level of the ability for the hero in the editor, so it's not a real number.

 

[FlameofChange]

-opengl in the target of a shortcut to Warcraft 3 won't do anything. No FPS increase.

 

[DarhKoopa]

- If you move items from the inventory, they look stretched:

Yes well they worked before ptr so i don't see how you can back it up with what you said. The point is ptr is breaking lots of approved hive content in this case the icons. Which means lots of other maps will break.

The native currently looks like this:
native SetUnitAbilityCooldown takes unit whichUnit, integer abilId, integer level, real cooldown returns nothing
Perhaps they ignored the comment, and took into consideration the name of the suggested function.

OH, my bad i was thinking that the functions in that post were the same added in the game

 

[terrio]

also worth mentioning the game keeps loading slower untill i run the executable again

 

[deepstrasz]

also worth mentioning the game keeps loading slower untill i run the executable again

Which OS are you running it on?

 

[terrio]

Which OS are you running it on?

windows, it takes like 10seconds before the game runs , or untill i run executable again

 

[deepstrasz]

windows

WHICH ONE?

 

[terrio]

WHICH ONE?

Windows 7

 

[deepstrasz]

Windows 7

It's why I've asked and you should have written before spamming further. I have the same problem as well on the latest 1.27. But it doesn't just happen with WcIII but some older games as well.

 

[Leubast]

After saving and loading a 24 player match in Custom Game, some objects' pathing for buildings are not removed when destroyed. For example; chopped down trees

and depleted gold mines

Also, the tooltip above buildings and units disappear after 5 or so seconds even with the cursor hovering over it.

I can't reproduce any of these bugs. Can you send me the savegame + map?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes well they worked before ptr so i don't see how you can back it up with what you said.

They worked somehow before. Just like many others did not work.

The point is ptr is breaking lots of approved hive content in this case the icons.

Which should not have been approved in the first place as they are malformed.

Which means lots of other maps will break.

It really should not be crashing, and that is likely a bug. However if they fail to load then that really is not Blizzard's problem as they are technically malformed files made by third party tools. As a content author one can easily fix them by re-encoding the full scale image in not a malformed way.

WHICH ONE?

Windows 1.0 obviously. Seeing how the game does not even run on that it is amazing he got it to work in the first place.

 

[Leubast]

I can't reproduce any of these bugs. Can you send me the savegame + map?

Had to .zip it because I couldn't upload the save individually.
The map is just a modified (12)DivideAndConquer to allow for 24 players.

 

[millzy]

iv noticed that the pathing when building buildings is somtimes messy. not sure whats going on by sometimes when u try build stuff it gives you a Cant build there msg when you actually should be able too

 

[Retera]

Removal of ReplaceableTextures\Splats\X_NameOfTexture.blp tileset specific files, and ReplaceableTextures\Water\X_WaterXX.blp tileset specific water textures breaks fanmade models that referenced them, even though it is true that these files are not used by the game engine itself.

 

[Tasyen]

The new native SetUnitAbilityCooldown will affect all Units with that specific ability and level (already existing ones and units not existing yet), when used with a unit having that ability (level does not have to match).

Edit:
UnitCancelTimedLife

Does not stop timed Lifes at all.

tested on trigger added ones, and on units summoned with spells.​

kills heroes having timed life instantly.
sometimes buggs randomly breaking the progressbars shown in the unit UI, if that happens the game crashes when closing the map.

​

Adding Timed Life to an unit having an timed life does not kill it anymore.

 

[Abovegame]

When in game i can't move my camera by clicking on the minimap far to the right, but i can move it with arrow keys.

This occurs for the map size of 320x320 ( 308x308 playable ).



Clicking left,top or bottom moves the camera as deisred.

 

[mafe]

I've starteid making a 24 player melee map, but I've run into the following issue:
If I try to the map against the AI, in about 1 of 3 tests, one (or more) of the players spawn on top of each other. It happens to different spawn locations, and in most game it works fine. I've never had this issue with other melee maps, but then again I've never made a map for more than 8 players. Did anyone run into a similar problem yet?

 

[Stefan.K]

Is someone facing the same issue as me? When I launch the TFT game and not the Warcraft 3 PT, my version is 1.26. I had the game previously patched with the latest patch but now it's 1.26 again.

 

[MyPad]

Though not technically a bug on Blizzard's part, I would like to share this one.

Also, I think some of the game text messages have not been taken into account, and the text has shrunk considerably.

On the plus side, mana bar seems nice...

All of these pictures have been taken on a screen aspect resolution of 1366*768.

(Watch out, Medusa! Anti-mage will be much more effective in Dota 1 now than ever!)

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

 

[Insanity_AI]

Now this is a bug I found back in 1.28.5 that which I don't know if it was fixed.
Basically, if you have multiple levels on "Channel" ability (or a custom spell which has base ability Channel),
the casting time of all levels is determined by Cast time of level 1.
Don't think that's supposed to work like that.

applies to any ability with cast time, level 1 always being inherited

 

[ZodiackTV]

I don't think so, since I play in 1920x1080, but used to play on a very older version years ago, and I remember it being the same. I tested the new camera with Campaign and normal maps, it is zoomed out. I agree that it helps for competitive purposes, since it allows you to see pretty much everything that happens in the battlefield, but, as I said before, I can't "feel my units" anymore, with that.

 

[Giygas]

fog modifiers for players above Player(15) don't work correctly (they don't seem to start)

example code:

scope test initializer init
    private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        local integer i = 0
        loop
            exitwhen i > 23
            call CreateFogModifierRectBJ(true, Player(i), FOG_OF_WAR_VISIBLE, bj_mapInitialPlayableArea)
            call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(Player(i), 0, 0, 60, "You are Player " + I2S(i))
            set i = i + 1
        endloop
    endfunction
endscope

example success:

actual result:

SetEventDamage crash the game???

 

[Footman16]

I think some of the new player colours need changed, 4 and 10 purple and light blue should be changed back and at least two of the White/gray colours should be changed as there's three shades of "white" just now that all look to similar. Easy solution is just make light/normal/dark variants of each colour so we could have for 24 colours:

Light Gray would be White obviously, dark yellow could be gold, light purple could be used if it looks sufficiently different from pink. Light brown could be added as Khaki, not sure if Dark Brown could work but it could be tested.
They should try to avoid making the colours look to neon-y or garish.
