[Feedback] Compiled List of Bugs & Issues for 1.30.1+

[deepstrasz]

When you open the advanced interface menu in editor and switch between maps via the windows menu, the interface menu isn't updated to the opened map.

Not pretty sure what you're saying but switching between maps via the Window on the top bar works for me on 1.31.1 back and forth.

EDIT: Ah, I understand. If you do the switch while having the Game Interface window opened. Yes, indeed, the window doesn't update to the newly opened map. It happens regardless if you open the other map via the Window Mode option or not, meaning the issue is present always if you open a new map over another loaded map.
Same happens if you close the map and the other one is switched to automatically. And then, the editor crashes if you try to edit the unupdated Game Interface window.

When creating a custom ability in the Object Editor of a map that is within a custom campaign, all the data fields are displayed.

Major bug : The Goblin Tinker's Engineering Upgrade ability is bugged, it causes the hero to lose all his learned abilities after he's reloaded from the campaign game cache, not only that be he also loses his skills points making it impossible to restore his abilities.

Edit : The only solution to this problem for now is to reset all his abilities with the "Tome of Retraining" and modify the skills points.

That's been in the game ever since Engineering Upgrade was put it. It doesn't survive the game cache and wasn't meant to (especially since it only shows up in Melee maps normally; it was never used on any custom map made by Blizzard).

Performance drops to a crawl in 1.31 world editor if i toggle "Hide Doodads" and turn to the "Terrain Editor" Tool Window.
Show pathing and grid was also toggled on, but doesn't seem to effect performance.

There's this thread [Crash] - List of WarCraft III Crashes that is not part of the main bug reporting one.

 

[GGWentworth]

I am not sure if this has been posted, but I'm seeing it nowhere and its kind of a big issue. Customly defined buff art is not being displayed, it is instead displaying the art of the base ability used. The custom buff text and name remain intact however.

When a timer restarts around 5485000 times (this takes just over 9 minutes with the minimum interval of 0.0001), the game crashes. Tested on both jass and lua, and with both TimerStart and TriggerRegisterTimerEvent natives.

 

[Spacebuns]

[AIaa] Item Permanent Damage Gain ability - works like Item stats gain or Manual of Health HP gain on a tome, but when the hero changes form, the damage gained is completely lost.

 

[Tasyen]

Export all Files inside world editors import manager can produce files that have contents swaped. In My Map HeroSelector that happens, for the text inside the Files HeroSelector.fdf and HeroSelector.toc.

 

[deepstrasz]

If you run the test function on maps opened via the campaign editor, they will not know how to read the .w3n file's object data.

 

[deepstrasz]

One can place two of the same colour start locations by editing the player/owner of another player's start location.

[Warseeker]

Items that have active abilities can't be used if those abilities aren't placed "first" in the item's ability list.

 

[Spacebuns]

Items that have active abilities can't be used if those abilities aren't placed "first" in the item's ability list.

I think it's always been that way. Probably the game's way to tell which ability is considered active (in case someone ever puts 2 active abilities on an item)

 

[Drake53]

The native BlzGetFrameByName behaves differently in jass and lua. When called in lua, it will NEVER return null. Test maps included.

That is not entirely the case. If an item as two active abilities the first to be used is the first ability in the list - but if that is not available (e.g. in cooldown) then things get a bit more complicated.

This map
Good & Evil II Between Worlds V 0.6 For Patch 1.30.4 wc3
crashes in the custom games selection screen on the x64 version for some reason. I think it might be a memory stacking related issue since 1.31.1 is kind of known for memory buildup during long playthroughs, however, this happens before even starting the map. The map is big over 300mb and is not a campaign.

Reported by DrakPanda on the thread.

Actually it was first reported by cleavinghammer (post) and the author knew about it working on x86 (post).
I can confirm the issue.

EDIT: more info: post.
Basically the editor crashes when saving that map on 1.31.1 x86_x64 but not on the x86 editor version.

 

[Warseeker]

Custom abilities/upgrades rawcodes don't work properly in tooltips, they're often displayed as null or 0 in-game.

There seems to be an issue with keyboard detection and the left mouse key.
I found a post on the blizzard forums explaining the issue, basically pressing the left key blocks keyboard input for a trigger. I found this out while trying to test a top-down shooter concept, unfortunately has failed due to the limitations created by this issue.

BlzTriggerRegisterPlayerKeyEvent and TriggerRegisterPlayerMouseEventBJ


Edit: Attached a file which can easily demonstrate the issue. Just hold down left click and try to press an arrow key, no message will show.

 

[Drake53]

If you create a trigger with event EVENT_PLAYER_CHAT, and you then destroy this trigger after the event has fired at least once, everything just stops working.
This was tested on 1.31 and happens with both jass and lua. Obvious workaround would be to use TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent instead.
I have included a testmap, where issuing an order shows a message, and the trigger is destroyed or recreated every three seconds. You can see that the messages no longer appear after triggering the bug.

There seems to be an issue with keyboard detection and the left mouse key.

I hope this gets fixed soon, using right mouse button instead as a workaround is a bit annoying, and for some maps you simply need both mouse buttons.

 

[Drake53]

The following crashes the world editor:

texttest = [[
// %%% SetCampaignMenuRace is deprecated.  It must remain to support
]]

 

[Rigborn]

native BlzEnableCursor takes boolean enable returns nothing

is not working

 

[rayburn]

As of today, 19.01.20:

Chaos Space Orc model file is not in the editor and is replaced with a duplicate of "Marine" model file, that is called "Terran Marine" (there is no difference between this two model files, terran marine still follows the old path for chaos space orc Units\Critters\ChaosSpaceOrc\ChaosSpaceOrc.mdl).

UI icon that corresponds to Chaos Space Orc path is also called "Terran Marine" now, but correctly shows an icon for Chaos Space Orc instead.

Expected result: Chaos Space Orc has a Reforged model.

Pls fix.

Cliff

The Lordaeron Grassy Cliff clips very badly vertically.

Water

This is water that is using "Red" tinting color. Not red at all.

Waterfall

The waterwalls are transparent - very, very transparent.

 

[ShamanOfTheSun]

Two bugs:

• Crow and bear form change to the bear and crow model even if you change the "Alternate form unit" to a custom model
• Unit value "Art - Maximum pitch angle (degrees)" can no longer be negative and has no effect whatsoever

 

[Azoth]

Holding down the left mouse button blocks keyboard events from triggering.
The middle mouse button no longer fires a down event on 1.30.2 and 1.30.3 PTR.

Is there any hope, for fixing this? My whole idea is based on this two triggers

 

[Warseeker]

This condition : "((Triggering unit) is dead) Equal to TRUE" doesn't take into consideration if the dying unit has reincarnation or not, it will fire up right after the unit dies unlike with A unit dies event.

 

[DracoL1ch]

ur sentence has no sense as you compare condition with trigger's event

 

[Warseeker]

I know they are not the same, but normally that condition should consider the ability nonetheless. I mean if you have a unit group with units that can reincarnate and make a trigger that checks when all those units are dead, it will be problematic.

 

[DracoL1ch]

because you should use trigger events UNIT_DIES for a real death detection and TriggerRegisterDeathEvent() for ANY death

 

[Eye]

The World Editor removes the whole "Temp" folder on Windows 7 with launch and on exit. It recreates the folder when testing the map, although sometimes, when map was not saved before pressing the test button, it does not, thus throwing an error window.
...
"Open Document" and "Tool Palette" windows always have the default size, position and state.

on reforged, still present.

 

[OmagnaT]

Editor: Unchecking Use Fixed Random Seed does nothing

 

[Kuras2003]

anyone know how to fix that bug in reforged , becouse people doing some wallktrough on yt dont have that one.

thrall model is missing in prologue missions and i want to fix this

 

[deepstrasz]

Creating an FX attached to a unit (hands for example) using a custom model (like a sword) will make the FX model disappear after some good seconds upon destroy FX trigger action whilst if the FX is ran as the buff (of say, Bloodlust), it will immediately disappear when the spell finishes acting.
This happens to models without a death animation.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but that sounds like normal behavior to me?

What's the explanation then?

 

[Razorclaw_X]

What's the explanation then?

What do you think is supposed to happen?

 

[deepstrasz]

What do you think is supposed to happen?

I don't understand why the model stays for some seconds before disappearing when using the destroy fx trigger while disappearing immediately when that model is used as a spell's buff fx when this latter disappears.

 

[Razorclaw_X]

I don't understand why the model stays for some seconds before disappearing when using the destroy fx trigger while disappearing immediately when that model is used as a spell's buff fx when this latter disappears.

It stays because there's no Death animation. Buffs handle everything dealing with them themselves (eg it only applies when the buff is still on the unit).

 

[Sparky123]

When launching the editor offline, it loads so much faster than if I have internet on.
I don't know why that is.
Same deal for testing maps, it takes a while for it to load when playtesting.

 

[DracoL1ch]

gameplay constants - effects death time - 5 by default
effects with no death will be only removed after those 5 seconds

 

[Jarrin Derrick]

Looks like these issues are unlikely to ever be resolved...

 

[deepstrasz]

It just makes no sense that there's a difference between destroy special fx and buff removal.

 

[Veronnis]

Cannot get the Reforged editor to actually Rename an item via triggers. Once it did actually rename it for no apparent reason, but upon 2nd test it just sat there once again as "Heart of Searinox" instead of "Greatsword" no changes between.

 

[deepstrasz]

Not sure how it is in 1.32+ but on 1.31.1 graphic errors/glitches appear when Flame Strike is cast on many units that spawn a triggered FX on hit.
See attached video.

 

[Warseeker]

The force bridge is bugged : When it gets destroyed, the path blocker is not removed.

yes, the function doesnt work. sadly, this issue exists for several months now and is still not fixed.
there are many other functions that dont work

 

[deepstrasz]

OK guys, fun's over. This is not a patch release discussion. It's a thread for reporting bugs.

 

[Domcho]

Play music from offset, as well as play theme from offset don't work. The music / theme plays from the beginning.

 

[Rigborn]

Game doesn't render particle emitters of a model if used as a frame. So the entire screen goes white.
