map crashing

[BlazeLancer]

It seems that when ever i try to edit the gold mines data (pathing options, gold amount) the games crashes a few minutes into the game.... any suggestions on whats wrong here?

I think this error wont help much, as it only referes to YOUR memory using in that moment and we dont have an Memory Image

Post that trigger, that you think causes the problem and then maye ppl can help.

why r u editing pathing?

 

[BlazeLancer]

its too bulky to place into corners or next to cliffs

I can't sove it but first:
1.Does this happen in a specific situation?
2. Is this related to the gold mine? try the same map without it and do the exact same.
3.Have a friend do this checklist IF he gets the crash.

I would reinstall WC3.

It's a pretty big thing to re-install while you can just trace the source. My bro once had a problem with changing neutral-hostile units to P1 units and it crashed. i guess WC3 has it's faults

Any triggers you have we need to know about? You might, for example, get stuck in an infinite loop

 

[BlazeLancer]

there are completely no triggers and the only editing iv done so far is in the object manager. And crashing happens 100% of the time within around 4 mins of play, with no lagging in between...

In the end im more interested in why its crashing then how to fix the problem, since i still what to edit my gold mine...

no trigger? well, try reinstall your WC3 then

 

[jesus.is.a.lie]

this happend to me too... reinstrall wc3 it shud work

Or he could post the crash log, I use that for when things crash, it can tell you just about anything if you read it correctly.

Reinstalling takes me about 5 minutes. It's a simple way to troubleshoot the problem.

If it doesn't work, then the problem is obviously in the map itself. To start, I would try to replicate the problem using the same gold mine in a fresh map.

Pathing displacement bug. As you said it is near corners of unpathability, the unit must be failing to be displaced when leaving the mine. Thus it crashes as WC3 likes to do that if it can not displace a unit somewhere pathable for it. Generally the crash is purly chance based, and although avoidable by minimizing the ammount of unit displacement occuring, it can happen at any time, if even never.

My proof for this bug? Well I often observed WC3 crash with units doing heavy movement into areas they should not or being placed into a crowd. Like I said generally it does not occur but I have linked many spontanious crashes down to pathing displacement.

Try giving your gold mine more breathing space (a layer of pathable tareain around it), or havesting from it via a method like that of the undead mines or night elf mines.
