Patch 1.31 announced

[Nudl9]

So earlier versions don't work with maps saved in 1.30.
And i tried 1.30.4 which somebody was kind enough to share with me, but it only opens ROC maps.
Sooo are we just screwed until fix then?

Given the back track record with releases, im afraid of using 1.31 even if a hotfix comes out.

edit: Nvm managed to get 1.30 up and running.

Has anyone tested setting the cooldown of abilities related to morphing? From my tests, they appear to work correctly now, not crashing the game.

The caveat is that, according to my tests, for an ability field to be assigned properly, one must specify the level of the ability - 1 as the level parameter.

I tested cooldown manipulation for "metamorph", "pocket-fabric" and "Storm earth fire" with changing Level 0 to change the wanted Level 1. All were castable and had their cooldown reduced, no crashes. This -1 to Level also seems to be needed for GetCooldown.
Its like you say.

 

[IcemanBo]

@deepstrasz command line didn't help, but thanks. Warcraft is unenjoyable with these perma lags, and also having all settings on low doesn't help.

I just wanted to join in on this and say that this cannot be justified, no matter what. Blizzard was always notorious for polishing everything, hell, they even cancelled fully polished games that didn't meet their expectations. Yes, remember Starcraft: Ghost or Warcraft Adventures? This is not the same Blizzard we knew long time ago, they are no longer the same people. The so called "Blizzard polish" is nothing more of an idealistic nonsense, a guise.

I think the classic team is definitely to blame for this, because they expect us - the community to be lab rats and test their broken patches. As far as I'm aware there's a reason why QA exists.

 

[EvilNico]

I'm just disappointed that they did not include syntax highlight yet. For people who are not that familiar with the engine, like myself, these new natives are really difficult to get into.
I try to use Jasscraft still, but that tool isnt that productive. We could really use an updated version of Tesh for Jass and vJass integrated to the Trigger Editor.

I like the code highlighting was in JNGP - it is very convenient! In comparison with what is now possible to break the eye. After JNGP, all the cards worked as they should, but now they are not even uploaded to epicwar.com and the maps created in 1.31 PTR or earlier versions of the editor are compatible with warcraft3 - 1.31 and work but if you are not working on the editor of this version loaded, yes a lot of strange problems. For example, when creating a map on Batel.net, there was also a problem with the selected names for the host. disgusting support and the most battle.net I just created the same post on the forum and what do you think I was banned until 3019year. Just because. This is all thanks from Blizzard.

@A Void
Amen.

What really bothers me that only wc3 gets the shit treatment. To some extent "Blizzard Polish" exists in their other games. You can question their design choices and whatnot but in terms of bugs the other games do not ship with gamebreak bugs. And in case they do, quickly fixed.

To be frank, I visited classic forums sometime before 1.30, when they were gathering ideas. Classic forum was filled with people complaining about Blizzard completely ignoring Diablo II, and citing problems that should've been an easy fix in my understanding.
Then again, its not a Blizzard Entertainment game, and I'm 95% convinced Blizzard Ent. actually hates Blizzard North and everything BN made.

 

[Volchachka]

UNIT_STATE_MAX_MANA\UNIT_STATE_MAX_LIFE in GetUnitState(), BlzGetUnitMaxMana(), BlzGetUnitMaxHP() are'nt returning MaxVal but after using a BlzSetUnitMaxMana\HP they are returning a max values which was been set by help these functions.

[UPD] False alert.

 

[Nudl9]

I found a way to make maps work.
You can download 1.30.4 and then protect maps with Vexorians Optimizer using an MPQ fron 1.29.

To avoid neutral units changing colors you need these settings when optimizing the map.

So.. Where do i find these new interface functions?

 

[izaiphovias]

So.. Where do i find these new interface functions?

For Scripts only, in the common.j
I dont think there are any GUI functions.

 

[Elprede]

@The_Silent Check out the file below for the functions

In addition, @Tasyen recently made some tutorials on how to use them: UI Interface Tutorials

 

[deepstrasz]

Hey guys, just realized what I should have for some time now. Where's the AI Scripts folder? It's useful to learn from those melee AI examples. It used to be in the game's folder in 1.27. I can't find it there and neither under Documents etc.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Additionally,
in non-PTR 1.31, this is still not fixed: ability level begins from 0 in the BlzGetAbility*LevelField, but begins from 1 in the BlzSetAbility*LevelField

Blizzard developers, if you see this, please fix this dummy and embarrassing bug immediately! And I recommend you also check any other index-related functions and adjust them to one standard.

The ability tooltip natives have the same issue. It actually broke my FileIO system. Ability index used to start at 1, and now starts at 0. The fix is easy, but it requires users to update their map.

Allow Local Files is no longer supported!!!

 

[YourArthas]

Allow Local Files is no longer supported!!!

They are but Blizzard messed up they introduced a new format called .war3mod but game does not understand it so we no longer can use .mpqs and also can't use that new format too cause game does not know it

 

[Deleted member 238881]

So no modding for now?

 

[YourArthas]

If you are talking about only locals, no they work but not working as they should just put everything directly to games installation folder

 

[verstefyren]

My game crashes when I open the game after a minimize. To be specific, it crashes when I open it again.

 

[Lt_Hawkeye]

Try and see if using -graphicsapi Direct3D9 fixes that issue for you as it did for me.

Patch 1.31 announced

 

[wc3neverdies]

I have some files in another folder. The main game is in C:\Programfiles\WarcraftIII and Errors, war3.mpq, World Editor Errors folders and the CD-Key w3k files are in C:\Programfiles(x86)\WarcraftIII

(I uninstalled the game after updating it to 1.31 casue the localization changed so i reinstalled it to change it again)

 

[loktar]

I'm guessing the new install is in Program Files (without x86) because the game is now 64-bit, the other folder are just leftover files that failed to be deleted when uninstalling previously. You can probably safely remove them.

 

[Nudl9]

Gotta love the new patch.
Now i have to deal with 1.31 additions to my game, while working with 1.30 as base patch and work with the constraints of 1.29 MPQ.
What a beautiful abomination.











At least it works better then 1.31

 

[ESTO]

Some custom maps now crash the game when certain spells are used (weirdly only in multiplayer games since I tested it in single player and it worked fine). Can I expect that they are fixed with the upcoming bugfix patch ?

Please link to or specify which maps.

 

[Drynwhyl]

print(BlzSetItemIntegerField(item, ITEM_IF_TINTING_COLOR_RED,   128))
print(BlzGetItemIntegerField(item, ITEM_IF_TINTING_COLOR_RED))

Prints:

true
255

Setters for ITEM_IF_TINTING_COLOR_RED/GREEN/BLUE and ITEM_SF_MODEL_USED do not work at all.
ITEM_RF_SCALING_VALUE only works when used immediately after item creation. Other fields might also not work but they are not so important.

 

[ESTO]

Please link to or specify which maps.

All Dota maps (6.83d, 6.85k and the ne series) crash when Barathrum uses his ultimate in multiplayer games.

It seems like blizz reforged team wants fresh start. They broke all custom maps and editors. We need to remake our maps on reforged.

Nonsense. They've said the games are basically the same thing but Reforged being an enhancement. Thus if the classic WcIII editor is broken (which is the foundation for Reforged's version), so is the one for Reforged.

A really fresh start maybe just trying to make new maps that does not corrupt after saving, a great contest for community (if it is even possible) ...

Fresh like this?:
At blizzard office:
Person1: We must fix all the bugs before releasing the patch from PTR.
Person2: Oh no. It's too late. This entire game must be purged.

I tried cleaning various stuff, tried all different game settings, then made purge and clean reinstall, and just nothing helps from making the game playable (lagless) again. I use Win8.1 Pro... there are many OS changes to Win10, and I know someone with Win10 has no lags.. idk if it's an OS problem.

Even it didn't help me, I think everyone should do a clean install. You can remove all old unsed files then, and it will install in 64 bit program files directory. And old editor exe and some other files are just not used anymore. It may also help in auto-creating the WorldEditor testmap path, which did not exist for me in first place. Probably at installation they only create the folder path, but not later from editor anymore.

Feels a bit like

[maddeem]

I think this project is a bit more ambitious than the classic Dev team can handle. I hope they call the cavalry on this one and not push back the release.

 

[LordTalbot]

I noticed since patch 1.3.1 the name options for custom games are very limited, can you maybe revert that feature?

I can't host my map "Battle.net TD" with any reasonable name anymore, this practically kills my map
All names including for example Battle.net or Warcraft 3 in any form or spelling are forbidden.

But its not just that, there are also other maps including "Warcraft 3" or "Battle.net" in their name, they have the same problem please give the freedom of gamenames back (at least for such major names)

 

[Chaosy]

Pre alpha in reality

 

[Elbadruhel]

I just hosted a test game of my map about the Fall of Lordaeron.

It no longers recognize custom war3.mpq terrain art Solve it please. It ruins the game, u can walk over mountains and corrupt them.

Also, some triggers are fucked, like removing units from game when they die or tping units from a point to another one (the trigger works and change faction owner, but then doesnt move the unit...). Please solve this stuff, they ruin the game completly. Its unplayable!

Why do u touch stuff that is already working if you are going to screw it? The game was fine U.u

They are not using the .mpq extension anymore try putting them to 'war3.w3mod' folder, it does not work with local files but might work with map imports

 

[loktar]

edit: nvm, it's just the yaw/roll being swapped in SFX

So is there a way to load local files (without Allow Local Files being enabled) anymore? Using war3mod.mpq folder doesn't work anymore, tried war3.war3mod, doesn't work either.

Game can't understand what a .w3mod is I reported it several times to Kam but idk if they'll look into it, local files can now only be used by directly putting them to the game's installation folder, it is impossible to change tileset specific models\textures because of game not understanding .w3mod folders

 

[Razorclaw_X]

Bribe is still right though... the more people that participate in the PTR the more likely it is that bugs would have been picked up and fixed.

The rage in this thread by some people is unfair considering its very likely they didn't test anything thoroughly on the PTR. Like, what did you expect? A bug free patch served up on a silver platter?

This isn't the Reforged PTR or a game in beta. Warcraft 3 is a LIVE game.

Incidentally, you pointing fingers telling people they didn't test enough also applies to you. On this stance you also have to accept the responsibility for the failure as much as you want to blame it on everyone else. If you don't accept that then your stance is completely ridiculous.

And that's presuming Blizzard is actually bothering to fix what's being reported or knows how.

When i read the patch notes i understood .w3mod doenst exist, but u use .w3x or .w3m

I used to have my changed terrain patability here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\war3.mpq\TerrainArt"

What do u mean with "placing them in installation folder"? That was the installation folder. I think maybe move the war3.mpq folder tu "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\x86_64" could work...

Exactly. This game has been played for 20 years, it is not an alpah or a beta, you CANT add or change content without being 100% tested and sure that it will work, u cant ruin something that is working just for adding some new content I just hope they fix it soon. (Btw, whenever u open the editor u instantly see the bugs, we all noticed them, u just need a single test to notice them, i can understand that Blizzard might have bugs, as maper i know it is normal. BUT u cant miss a so clear mistake...)
