Patch 1.31 announced

[deepstrasz]

My mind and condolences for those brave enough to upgrade.

It's a PTR.

 

[loktar]

IIRC this is also the case in the live patch though, at least for some? If so I hope they change it back because otherwise it will break a lot of stuff.

 

[Rui]

Not offended at all?

The word you were looking for was "worrying", not "threatening".

 

[Kam]

The zero indexing has been the case since 1.31.0, it was omitted from the notes.

It refers specifically to the new natives in 1.31.

Idk what are u talking about, could u quote the other message next time? Jajaja (and i appreciate english lessons )

New bug (REGRESSION)

The map variable limit has been lowered from ~25k to ~14k (not sure if it's related to memory or variable count)

This causes mapfiles that were previously working to now crash wc3 when selected in the custom game list

Hope thats temporary.
On second thought, who even uses such a high number of variables over 14k? Does this include the wc3 already existing variables?

 

[Ardenaso]

Did you feel too embarrassed to ask this to your parents or friends? Google it maybe? I mean, you are this old and still ask such a question. Makes me wonder if you live in Antarctica

I mean I had a shortcut but with the update the repair/launch window keeps on appearing with the same shortcut, and yes I did google.

apparently 14k of YOURS vars, limit is higher but blz's vars add up
and yeah, there are cases when you may need 10k for sure. idk about 25k, sounds insane

 

[Blarto]

Some heavy maps can use some 10,000 variables.

Each struct instance variable vjass-ed into a global array.
Each struct static variable vjass-ed into a global variable.

Reaching 14k isn't that out of the ordinary...

Any serious modding project will surpass it as they move to create object oriented architecture instead of the unscalable GUI/Jass styles.

Not necessarily a problem of WEdit, but of Vexorian dropping the ball and choosing to use array-based architecture for structs instead of heap/table based (tables are 40% slower but it doesn't matter 99% of the time)


.. Although i'm not sure what "variables" are being referred to here in this context...

 

[El Saif]

So, how does all of this natives work? i can see many, most of them is not working. I don't even know which natives are working.

!

I recently updated my Warcraft 3 folder to 1.31 patch. I was looking forward to play some custom maps I downloaded which only allowed 1.30 or now (1.31) patch.
Anyways, I lost all my files I downloaded (Thank God I kept a back-up of them) but when I put it back in the Warcraft 3 folder, it says "This application has encountered a critical error: Not enough memory resources are available to process this command."
Cheers..

Which executable are you running, the one from the x86_x64 or x86 folder? And on which operating system?

 

[Recklessness]

If I update my map to use this patch will it be transferable to forged?

 

[Wrda]

Reforged will be bound to classic, so it will be compatible.
It's been said a thousand times.

 

[kentzeus]

Is 1.31 still PTR, or is it a live version? Because I get the question if I want to update to 1.31 in the game but nothing happens when I do.

 

[deepstrasz]

No, 1.31.1 is live for some time.

 

[Jazztastic]

I am finally able to open my (almost finished) map again after half a year of frustration. I never got info that I was supposed to use a different launcher from the one I had been using for 10+ years. Why are there four launchers for WC and WE now??

Is there a spot I can get up to date on fixing my code and map? A bunch of stuff that used to work now goes kaput or crashes game on usage and I'd rather learn the new patch than make 20 something posts in the GUI help category. Also small chance but does anyone know if Bribe's unit indexer + associated packages still work on new patch environment?

 

[ALADEEN]

No, 1.31.1 is live for some time.

Is everything fixed or is it still buggy as shit?

 

[deepstrasz]

Buggy. Wouldn't recommend. Better use 1.30 instead.

 

[ALADEEN]

Better use 1.30 instead.

Already reversed to it some time ago, but thx 4 reply anyway.

When I tried 1.31.1 few months ago, there were bugs even in campaigns.

We'll have to wait for 1.32 when Reforged comes out. Hopefully, most pressing bugs will be fixed.

 

[ALADEEN]

They made so many changes in game so I think they altering source code itself. If I'm right they could add legit liquid lava, reverse 1 - 12 player colors to state like they were before 24 players update (brown would again look like brown, not like orange), make all tiles enabled to swap, make possible to add more cliff types, make blight work on cliffs/underwater and alter colors of selection line/circles:

blue - player, AI allies in control & human allies,
green - AI allies,
yellow - neutral,
red - enemies.

I agree with you so much, I dont like 24 player colors, some colors are too similar. But it could be an extra feature that you could manually add to custom game, but they should revert ladder and all other things have just 12 standart colors.

Hell, I could even think that having multiple players with same color is better than what it is now. You could forexample make 3 player blue color and 2 player red, one white, one dark, and so forth using just standart 15 colors or how much it originally had.

Playing big game with team players having two or three same color doesnt really matter because there are already so many players, just increase the player limit to 24 separately it was good idea.

 

[kentzeus]

Buggy. Wouldn't recommend. Better use 1.30 instead.

What's buggy about it? I've recently updated from 1.30 and I'm very pleased with using 1.31 now. It being very buggy in the beginning and breaking maps and shit is what freightened me from using it earlier, but now it seems smooth to me. It's especially chill when making tooltips

I tried most recent version of the editor about couple weeks ago, I only touched some terrain/doodads inside the editor. When it crashed and destroeyd 30min work I decided I will not use that.

Yeah, there have been reports that copying terrain would crash the editor.

 

[Wlizer]

I did not copy the terrain. I was doing the most basic things u could have ever done. No triggering, no touch special featuer or anything else than I was just tuning my terrain a little bit by moving some doodads, and reterrain some water parts.

Everything I did had been rock solidly working since the release of the frozen throne: i know the editor, so its new bug.

You should detail this more on the bugs thread: [Feedback] Compiled List of Bugs & Issues for 1.30.1+

 

[UmbraUnda]

I can confirm that when I work on a complex 480x480 map with lots of doodads, terrain variety and units - When selecting or copying terrain... all it takes is an accidental left click drag, selecting a tiny section of terrain, editor immediately crashes if done after the first 5 minutes of using the program.
If it's done at the beginning, right after opening the map, it works fine. I'll post a more detailed on the Bugs and Issues Thread soon.

 

[Wlizer]

You should detail this more on the bugs thread: [Feedback] Compiled List of Bugs & Issues for 1.30.1+

I think I created separate thread before, but its not the point.

The point is that the editor seems to be beyond comprehension broken. Something unthinkable issue that is linked with all kind of other issues and fixing those other issues doesnt fix the root problem.

 

[HIGH_WAR_LORD]

• Scripts can now detect when any unit is damaged
• Scripts can now detect and modify the damage done before armor
• Scripts can now detect and modify the attack type, damage type, and weapon type (Note, modifying these only works in the pre-armor event

Does that means we can use triggers for damage of spells like breath of frost,etc?

 

[ALADEEN]

Has anyone cracked .data files yet? There is no .mpq anymore for... one year now?

EDIT
Hmm... Since standalone W3 Classic is no more - therefore it won't be updated - I suggest closure of this topic.
