[Trigger] Request - Check triggers for leaks?

[Gojiras]

Hey ya'll.

I've recently been updating a semi-popular version of Warchasers called WarchasersNightmarev27. This particular version is notorious for crashing 1-3 hours into the game (sometimes individual player crashes, sometimes game wide) and I'm assuming it's caused by memory leaks in the maps (many) triggers. The map takes 4-5 hours to complete so crashing mid-way can feel really discouraging.

I know my way around the editor well-enough to adjust heroes, abilities and terrain on a basic level but I'm completely inept when it comes to triggers/coding/scripts. I'm interested in having someone browse through the triggers and look for major leaks or improvements for the stability of the map. If it needs a heavy amount of work I would commission someone to go through the fixes for me. Can attach a copy of the map if someone is interested. Thanks!

That sounds like huge amount of work. Here are some useful links:

Memory leaks have no explicit connection to desyncs or crashes. Figuring out what causes the crash is paramount; if the map is not noticeably laggy after a couple hours of play then the amount of memory leaks there are isn't significant IMO.

If maybe there was a way to convert all the triggers to text at once, you could search for leaks in each one of them with a text search engine.

Just exract the script file from the map. It contains all the triggers.
