Map Unplayable

[aznricepuff]

Ok, so today I try to play my map to test it out, but wc3 won't let me. When I use the "Test Map" feature in NewGen WE (with war3err on) it just dumps me in wc3's main menu instead of loading the map. When I manually start up wc3 (normal wc3 and NewGen wc3) and go to the custom games folder, I can select my map, but when I do none of the player slots come up, however the minimap does, and when I click Start Game it just loops me back to the custom game menu.

I've never had a problem like this with my map or ANY other map in wc3 before. Anyone have any clues as to what's going on?

Yes. Some part of the map is corrupted. Most likely the script, make sure one of the syntax checkers is active. (WE or JassNewGen's) I often get this problem when I make a mistake in my script and I don't run a syntax checker.

I have syntax checker running (Jasshelper, since I can't use WE's syntax checker cuz of vJass), and it's not giving me any errors. My map was fine up until today, but I guess I'll get rid of the code I added since the good version in case Jasshelper is missing something and see if that makes any difference.

If its not that, then its imports. Some imports don't effect WE that do effect the game. If you added any recently try removing them.

I've just gone through and deleted all new code I've added since the last working version. I've also deleted all recently added imported files, but it's still not working. The only thing different in my map now than it was when it last worked is that I'm using CSData and CS dynamic arrays in places where I used gamecache before, but I don't think that would cause this kind of problem.

EDIT: It seems I spoke too soon. Apparently it IS either CSData or CS dynamic arrays that is causing the problem. Gonna do some more tests to see which one it is.

EDIT: Ok it was the dynamic arrays, though I still don't know exactly why. *sigh* Now I'm stuck to using slow gamecache again.

Obviously the reason is you eithor used them incorrectly or made a typo when you used them.

Make sure you are even running them in the right way as it is very easy to get confused with jass newgen pack.

damn press save button then test map
you cant test map unless you dont save changes
so if there is "*" thing you cant test

 

[Dr Super Good]

Actually, you should be able to just by pressing test. In normal WE it auto builds the map for testing when you press test, even if you save it or not. But then again JNGP is not normal WE.

So try saving then testing as I also noticed it helped.

Last time I checked saving a map doesn't affect if I'm able to play it or not in wc3:

When I manually start up wc3 (normal wc3 and NewGen wc3) and go to the custom games folder, I can select my map, but when I do none of the player slots come up, however the minimap does, and when I click Start Game it just loops me back to the custom game menu.

But I already know that w/e the problem was it was caused by some code concerning CS dynamic arrays.

Look if you try to test your map without saving (if there is a * sign up)
Testing will open the war3tft main menu.
You need to save your map then test
You need to be seeing no * sign near map name up there while pressing test map
Got it ?
