[Defense / Survival] Slow Loading - Done, thank you

[Nefariti]

I worked on this map for like 2 years, and I know Im not great working with triggers and everything, but I am kinda proud of my map.

And besides that I know my triggers are full with leaks and all those thingies, my map takes like 6 minutes to load. It always have been. I really dont understand why.

If anyone can help me with figuring out what is causing my map to take so long to load, that would make me really happy.
I would like it if it stays in GUI because I dont understand JASS. And you dont have to worry so much about the leaks and such, I really only dont like that it takes 6 minutes to load.
Aaaand I know there are no Credits to the makers of the models and such, but thats because I never thought my map would lead to other people besides my brother and like 3 friends.

Thank you.

Slow loading is funny, it just crashed my game.
You might google for "warcraft 3 leaks" and probably basic triggering tutorials.

But...I know about the crash, the loading time gets you to like the river in the background screen, then it crashes and you cant alt+tab. But after like 5 minutes the loading continues.
Because I have played this map with 3 of my past friends, and with my brother, so many times. Thats why its version 2 1.38

I know leaks and glitches will cause the game to go slower and slower ingame, and sometimes just crash in the middle of the game. But I can work on that with the tutorials some other day.
But I have already tried to fix this loading screen problem for 1 year with the help of the tutorials here, but I just dont know how to fix it

No idea what exactly you fucked up to cause this. Maybe just too much shit going on in the object Editor?

Anyway, I ran it through SLK and Vex Optimizers and it loads in ~30 seconds.

Oh thank you so much, I should get that program to do that optimizing too then.
But I really dont understand what I did wrong either, because like, the MB of the map isnt that much compared to those cinematic maps from others being 16 MB while mine is 4MB. I dont have that many heroes and abilities compared to those DOTA maps with like 60 heroes. Triggers might be not good with not removing varaibles and such, but I think that would affect the ingame thingies, not the loading time, right?

Anyways, thank you for that, I will try to find those optimizer thingies too then

Thanks to Lotus I was able to find it out
It was totally because I had too many ability levels. I will try to heavly reduce max hero level and all ability levels.
Thanks everyone for helping.
