NewGen or WC3 Map Optomizer Bug??

[lavar3]

Hey guys!

I just started to use NewGen pack. When I saved my map and then Optimized it with Wc3 Map Optimizer 4.9 was OK at first, but when I hosted it and ppl joined they didnt dl it - they made it till 99% and then game dropped them ?!??!?!?!!? Whats wrong?? There wasn't such a problem when I used the original World Editor, but now..

Try ExtProtect for optimizing.

Still the same problem with this editor .. And keep in mind that if the map is Unprotected ppl download it and we play it without any problem, but if I try to protect the map with Vexorian' one or with this protector, then the map becomes undl-able ... So I think the problem is not in the map, but with the protector's properties that i have set or NewGen Editor just doesn't stack with any protector, which is impossible cuz then all maps would be unprotected ... ((

Hmm... Maybe deleting some symbols in hex will work?

What do you mean with "hex" ?

You can open your map in a hex editor and just remove 'war3map.wtg'

It might be because you are using ExecuteFunc (with string concatenation), custom natives and/or TriggerRegisterVariableEvent (with string concatenation) poorly. All three of those scenarios will break the optimizer.

had the problem because some external syste, used the isUnitAlive native.
string concatenation in TRVE or EF is dumb anyway

Not if you wanted to privatize the thing that's being concatenated, or if you had some really complex stuff that fired a different function based on an integer. Nestharus uses EF with an I2S concatenation in his "Save/Load with Snippets" resource.

y with integers, but just 2 stringconstants are dumb.
And checking dynmaic concatenation would be a pain in the ass.

I told you I can make that happen for you, if you want one in the optimizer you are writing. Don't leave it out just because you are too lazy, when there are people like me who would make the code for you because we have an interest in it.
