Map not working/Fix?

[bloodscilla]

To Whom This Concerns,

I apparently posted in the wrong area, my apologies to the community. Frotty informed me there may be a fix for a map I was hoping to once again play. I have no idea how to articulate the issue other than the "Map can not be found".

I would greatly appreciate any assistance on getting this map fixed up. The name of the map is gradia rpg. Thanks in advance for any assistance! I uploaded the file to avoid additional steps.

In case the 7.0 map doesn't work, I realize it was only .32 mb, this is about 3.81mb or so. Not sure if that speaks to the map being improper or anything. But this map might need to be the one that needs fixing. As I recall either version should function fine.

The 7.0 version is likely corrupt in some ways, or at least missing all imports.

Judging by the post dates a search for "gradia rpg" showed I am guessing it might not be working because of the typecasting exploit? Is the map protected or not?

Both maps are unprotected. When I look into triggers etc, it's completely empty. I know however, that before the update that blew apart all the games, everything was there. Beyond that, everything else, character skins etc, it's all there. It just looks like the triggers disappeared? I'm not very savvy at this kind of thing, so I can't really explain it on a high level, or know what's going on with it.

I have no idea what typecasting is. Hope that was helpful, let me know if there's anything else I can contribute.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The map is protected. Probably using Vexorian optimizer to optimize the triggers and place a dummy GUI trigger file.

So it sounds like you can't view the triggers due to this? So what would one do to recover/fix this? Or is it simply too time consuming and a dead end?

Safe to say I don't possess the technical expertise to pull this off...

There are no editor triggers in the map. One can only modify the JASS script directly.

Not possible. One has to modify the JASS script directly.

Or is it simply too time consuming and a dead end?

I will look for typecast exploit later.

Awesome, thank you. I'll be interested to hear if you're able to have any luck with that. Definitely going to cross my fingers on this one!

For 6.2 I get a "Cannot load map data" error instead. 6.2 does not appear to use the typecasting exploit, something else must be broken with it.

For 7.0 the map loads fine, but gameplay seems broken. 7.0 clearly has no triggers, which is why nothing happens gameplay wise after map load. Someone must have made it based on a protected version and not realised that by saving it discarded the compiled trigger script and replaced it with one that has no triggers.

Hi. 7.0 is clearly incomplete. 6.2 had some errors in code that aren't compliant with latest patch which I fixed, but I'm still not sure if it works,
since it's not in english.
It seems to require some command at start, dunno. Maybe you know what to do. At least it starts now

What were these? I did look through it for type casting exploit but could not see any.

 

[Frotty]

Some functions return booleans with their signature being "returns nothing".
Afaik this wasn't even valid before 1.24 though, hence I'm not sure if it works at all.

 

[bloodscilla]

Holy crap, it's dumbfounding how you even got that much working. Seriously impressed. The game was never in english also, so not sure if that creates challenges...

 

[bloodscilla]

After having one of the empty slots filled, I realize it's completely working, with save/load codes and all. So whatever you did worked entirely i believe. It looks so far to be entirely functional though. Looks like i have a sweet way to kill time again lol. Not sure how you guys pulled this off, but clearly very gifted at your coding ventures and then some. thank you.

 

[Frotty]

Sweet. Mind telling me then what to do at the start to begin the game?
And thanks, but the fix was terribly simple
