Find the order your map loads files in

TriggerHappy · Aug 29, 2018

By abusing the preload natives you can find the order in which files are loaded in your map.

JASS:

function config takes nothing returns nothing
    call PreloadGenStart()
    call PreloadGenEnd("config.pld") // all internal Preload calls get dumped
    // ......
endfunction

function main takes nothing returns nothing
    call PreloadGenStart()
    call PreloadGenEnd("main.pld")
    // ......
endfunction

These are the results on a blank map in 1.30.

JASS:

function PreloadFiles takes nothing returns nothing
    call Preload( "scripts\\common.j" )
    call Preload( "scripts\\blizzard.j" )
    call Preload( "war3map.j" )
    call Preload( "war3map.w3e" )
    call Preload( "war3map.wpm" )
    call Preload( "war3map.doo" )
    call Preload( "war3map.wts" )
    call PreloadEnd( 0.0 )
endfunction

What would be the use for this ?

Not much. You can determine whether or not a game crash is from object data / imports, or from your maps script. It's also useful for any software which needs to parse things in the same order as WC3

It's more interesting than anything.

What happens if the game crashes or gets stuck forever?

Nothing gets written to the file until PreloadGenEnd is called and most of the Preload calls are done before you call it.

So if you get a crash you won't see the output, unless the crash has to do with your maps script.

Interesting. Does it mean that corrupted files can at least be inferred from a crash if it does not produce any output preload.pld file?

Find the order your map loads files in
