Server Split / Out of sync MAJOR PROBLEM

[Blackgaze]

OK, hello all, my name is Paul (nickname Blackgaze)

I have spend almost "one year" attempting to cure a server split in my map... I sent a lot of the time when developing on it looking at the triggers over and over again, most server splits are caused by bad coding.

HOWEVER

Just recently I have found the cause, When I deleted all the custom units within the map and played online none of the players dropped, I repeated this three times and the same results concluded, no-one dropped.

I would be jumping around the room now if I had it cured, but it isn’t. I might know WHATS causing it but out of the 50-80ish custom units it could be anything.

Does anyone know how custom units can be linked to Server Splits/ Out of Syncs?

Thanks for reading this message, I really wish for guidance.

Wrong forum!

Could it be an ability belonging to one of your units.

I had this problem when i set the duration of immolation to 0.

Took me weeks to figure out what I had done.

i have had problems with crashes and slits directly related to unit abilities

some abilities with numbers to high or to low have cause server splits crashes and glitches in my maps

specifically durations of 0 and massive area effects

but without more details that is the best i can offer GL

That sounds about right. One of the maps I'm working on currently has a lot of problems with splits. I optimized the JASS a ton and removed all the significant memory leaks, but there are a lot of custom abilities (hacked AbilityData.slk) and it sounds likely that certain attributes of custom abilities might be to blame.

Also remember negative real values which not only desync, but also crash wc3.

Yeah it can either be abilities or units, though sometimes it can be the units themselves. If you have for example a negative missile arc that could crash it. Just check if there are any adjustments you make to the abilities or units that probably shouldnt be there, negative values and some zero values are what you should look out for. If you've really spent a year on this then I suppose you could try something like adding units 5 at a time or something and seeing when it crashes, and then you can narrow it down to those 5 and so on.

my wc crash, when i didnt set target attachment number, when i attach something on a attachment point.

but how are you going to play the map when all your custom unit is deleted?

most server split is from too much triggers are used at the same time, such as loop - create unit create unit.....
