[Solved] Game crashes after upgrading a town hall

[stan0033]

I am making an altered melee map, and what is annoying is that the human Town Hall causes a crash after it completes upgrading to Keep.

In the object properties nothing is changed in both. My graphics card is not the problem.
also there are no conflicting IDs

also just by CLICKING on a tavern, the game crashes

BOTH crashes do not display any error. Just closes the game.

What might be the problem?

Could be a problem with a model, did you test those units on a blank map to see if they have the same problem? Are there any triggers interfering with them?

 

[stan0033]

- problem with the model is not possible as it's the default (i said no object properties are changed)
- no triggers linked to them
- on other maps it doesnt make problems

It's not impossible. Years ago I had this problem with the standard Crypt Lord model; it suddenly started crashing the game. Reinstall fixed it.

Reinstall? That doesn't make any sense. You're telling me war3.MPQ is corrupt?

Why then it doesn't crash any other map?

I only said what I experienced and how I fixed it.

For me it did crash every map.

 

[stan0033]

Well, i dont have the same exact problem as you did then

That does not make sense given that Warcraft III migrated to CASC late last year.

What might be the problem?

Might be related to Techtree - Dependency Equivalents. I recall solving a few crashes with similar symptoms related to this long ago. For example selecting a worker and opening their build command card caused a crash because one of the buildings they could build had that field set to values Warcraft III did not like. The crash occurred whenever the data for the unit was properly loaded for a client, which can happen indirectly such as when the build command card is opened that can build the unit.

Oh, I found it - i had created 4 altars that can upgrade inbetween each other and this was causing the crash for some unknown reason. This is not connected to the town hall but oh well.
Some bug with upgrading mechanics

Possibly an infinite loop occurred when the engine tried to resolve something. Cyclic upgrades alone should not do that but maybe some other aspect of the alters causes it.

I tested that some time ago and it seems with Reforged they changed it so it will look up what buildings can be upgraded to this building if you click anything that has this building as a condition.
So yes, it can create an infinity loop closing WC3.
