Ah. My friends were telling me about this, but I always figured they were either lying or it was this exact problem. I guess it was the latter. Thanks for reporting in, I'll need to figure out what's causing it.

The Darkening Wars - v1.42 Optimized
by AngryBovine
Patch notes can be found towards the bottom of this post! Look forward to a lot of new additions in the future.
The highly anticipated patch: 1.30, Risen from the Ashes! The Darkening Wars returns with a brand new squad system to ease controlling large numbers of units, with various bugs fixed and ideas revamped. Play the map to find out all the latest changes or read the change log below!
[[Warning! Please delete any old copies of this map you have! Older versions may carry critical errors and bugs that may cause them to be unplayable! Download the newest to keep up-to-date and have the newest bug fixes.]]
The Darkening Wars is an altered melee map in which your objective is to destroy your opponent through any means possible. You have three factions to choose from: Humans, who use superior technology, ranged weaponry, and vehicles; Mutants, who have genetic alterations that make them incredibly powerful and devastating melee power; and Machines, who are highly resilient and have unstoppable mechanized titans.
As you will see when you play, all three factions are vastly different and use different resource systems. You may need to play around with the game a little to adjust to the differences from common RTS games you have played before.
-Races - 3 working races, not mirrors
-Weather - 6 different kinds that affect combat
-Vast tech trees allowing for freedom within each race
-Important tactical (terrain) positioning
-Custom armor and weapon system, providing counters
-Realistic range: Guns fire from far away!
-Realistic accuracy system! Bullets miss, tank rounds can miss but still cause AOE
-Units can be injured by critical hits
-Squad System
-Balanced combat and gameplay
-Artillery and Explosions!
-All units have abilities that keep them useful throughout the game
-Human units level up independently in the form of Veterancy
-Mutant units help tech up their whole side
-Machine units can be equipped with upgrades
-Extensively informative and useful tooltips!
-New units available in patches as the game is updated
NYI (Not Yet Implemented):
-Air Strikes
-Tactical Aid abilities
-AI (the second coming)
Credits to all the model makers who provided a lot of the models for this map. This map is not protected, though it is optimized, so map content may not be available for viewing. If you wish to see the triggering, you can PM me and I can send you a copy of the un-optimized map.
Please post bugs you find here! This will help improve the quality of this game. If I don't know what's wrong, I can't make the game better or more enjoyable! After all, I can't read your mind.

Ah. My friends were telling me about this, but I always figured they were either lying or it was this exact problem. I guess it was the latter. Thanks for reporting in, I'll need to figure out what's causing it.

Can you try fix the squad system so youre units are still yours but when you drag over them you only get the squad captain and you can klick on them if you wan't them to use an abillity?
My internet is broken so i can't play batlle net i wonder if you can make AI from scratch so it won't get error or find why it says error?

The squad system I'll try to fix, but in a sense, it is WORKING AS IN INTENDED. But yet not really. I don't know why there's such a big fuss about the squad system, it'll be fixed as it comes along. The only broken part of it is the way you interact with abilities anyhow; and that's not even that important to me at the moment. Yes, it'll be fixed, but this message goes out to all of you. The squad system will be fixed when it's fixed, but don't complain about the fact you can't use an ability from each one. I know it's a problem, and it'll be addressed when I find out how to.
As for the AI, that will come along when I finish out the Machine race and after I sort out any remaining bugs. Sorry, AI has last priority. I am ONE man, working on multiple maps, busy on most of my days. Even WITH help, I still need to make sure the AI won't bug with existing code, so I'll need to sort things out first. I'll take your consideration with full heart but you'll need to give me room to maneuver with.
EDIT - Attached the latest test version of my map on here, in all its >4mb glory. You CAN play it solo, but not multiplayer. It is unoptimized, and therefore this map is just FOR MYSELF, so that it is additionally backed up so I'll never lose it.
EDIT2 - Fixed squad system ability usage. When one sprints, all sprint, when one goes prone, all go prone. I'll make grenades multi too.

Ok I really like your map and I'm trying to use the squad system from this game in mine but its really confusing. Also, i'm trying to make models for Wc3 using blender but I don't now how to export files into MDX format. Does anybody know how I can do that without paying money for a program? If you can't do that with blender, then does anybody know about a FREE program that can make mdx files? Im a noob at this. 
Help on either would be appreciated! Here's my thread-

ok, maybe it's just me..but when i ask my unit to attack my other unit eg: my assault machine to attack my assault machine (I'm playing machines) they only shoot each other once or twice and then stop. You also have 2 droids named the same when they are built, but when you look inside your droid factory they are named something different. (both are named assault something)
also I think your damage calculations are a bit of target because my sniper (max attack of 120 killed my unit with 200+ hp in one hit. Your machine shop only needs one of every add-on(wing) to upgrade EVERYTHING, even though it says only one ballistic,logistic,etc upgrade per wing you have.
the damage calculation of the lancer also seems to be wrong. maybe it's got something to do with the armour?
...minor bugs are still bugs xD

The squad system is REALLY complicated and I programmed it very inefficiently. If you need help with it, I can give you tips, but my squad system is NOT perfect and it consumes player slots 9-16. So, you'll need to limit your map to 8 players. Are you willing to do that?
Sorry, I have no idea for that question about the model conversion. I'm pretty sure you need to first convert blender's model to another more universal type, such as maya's or 3dsmax's file type. Then you should be able to find a mdl-mdx converter.

I know why they stop attacking, it has something to do with my accuracy system. I don't think it's major enough to warrant a change, although I'll consider fixing it.
For the assault droids, both in their construction tooltips say "Build Assault Droid," when really one should be the Aegis model. I just correct this.
My damage calculations are NOT off. It could've been one of two things. A sniper has a 15% crit chance rather than 5%, and critical hits deal double damage. On the other hand, vehicles take additional damage from Armor-Penetrating damage type.
The machine shop bug I know of. I can't fix it because no one answered my "WE Help question" about catching the queue command when queueing research. I guess I can make a roundabout system for this, but it's damned annoying. I'll see what I can do.
Lancer has a similar damage thing. It has explosive damage, which deals much higher damage to structures as well as high damage to Light Plate Armor. Just mouse over the damage type to find out what it does bonus damage to!
As usual, thanks for reporting in. I'll have the next version out with additional content soon.

I haven't played the latest version yet but one small thing bothers me... when your units miss, they just sit there and bullets whizzz past them and hit the ground near the target... with no anims... it lookes awful, i played one of the earlier versions, i DL it two weeks ago... i was playing single player, and i attacked my own guys... and the mostly just sat there and missed... almost no attack anims... i'm sorry if you worked this out...

I've noticed it, too. As much as it irks me, it has something to do with how I program the accuracy system. (Creating a dummy unit to be attacked with a micro-duration, ordering the attacking unit to attack the dummy instead, and then re-ordering the attacking unit to attack what it was previously attacking.) Since this map is still dependent on WEU, I don't have a fix for it. Once I strip off the WEU dependent parts, I can open it in Jass NewGen pack, and then I'll be able to fix it.
Hrm. Maybe I'll just force them to play an attack animation? And play a sound for human infantry?

Sounds like a workable fix... ive done that kind of stuff in my map... but cany you temporary add the attack-type that gives attack-ground and order the unit to attack ground within blah range of that unit? i dunno, alot of time thisngs like that don't work...

That probably won't work well. I've done it in the past, and it didn't really work out. It still wouldn't play the correct attack animation, seeing as how the unit would be ordered to attack-ground off target, and then have to retarget what it was attacking again.

Yeah, i am currently making an altered melee map, so i have been playing alot of them, and yours is the only one that seemed... professional? the others are all missing units tooltips and are awful... yours is very uniqe because of all of the races, and the fact that they play so differently.

there's a small bug with the mutant placement system- see once u build something and select it to be placed in a given location, it usually occurs fine. but sometimes, the next building u train is placed right next to it and u dont get to choose where its placed. its hard to explain
The building you train gets placed on the previous location you selected - this happened for a lot of my buildings though I think it's probably cause of me using cheats to test mutants in single-player out.

Using "warpten" will yield this "bug", I believe. At least something similar, anyhow, because of the little amount of time you have to target the positioning of the structure.

yep- warpten, tested it again- thats the cause. so nvm- no bug after all.
im not sure if this is a problem in current version, but on 1.38- mach commandos(machine tier 2) don't appear to be flying. - i mean- only their squad leader seems to have the ability to 'fly'. the squad following doesn't. i noticed that u seem to say squads are hard to program- so maybe a quick fix is to just make mach commandos train 1 by 1?

Thanks for posting. Sorry, sometimes the crashes come at the best of times. I try to fix them, but some are still lingering around from the old days. Do you have any clue as to what could have caused them? Usually you can spot that it's something dying or other, but sometimes it's hard to tell.

oo and just a thought... maybe you should get rid of the option to give resources to someone... mutants get small income, and there upgrades cost little, but if your ally is a machine lets say, who gets butt loads of income, they could just give you a small amount which would pretty much get you all your upgrades

Pretty certain that you can't resource trade, to my knowledge. If you can, then I'll go change it so you can't. It was never my intention to allow resource trading, both for mechanical reasons (like the one you mentioned) and the storyline reasons, seeing as how each race processes/creates resources differently. As I had said before, if I could rename the resources for each race, I would. But I can't, so it's just generically Iron and Oil.

I do believe there's still one hanging around in a mutant versus mutant setup. I forget how, but it happens mid-late game. It always happens when one player makes a big assault on the other.

New version is out. Minor changes, but there a few that are very important nonetheless; the primary one of concern being the ability for mutants to purchase their own overbeings and imps, which wasn't working correctly before for some reason. Human turtles are now much weaker, as that needed to happen.

Depends what version you were playing last, but to me knowledge, the Vulcan Tower doesn't lag anymore.
However, I did forget one thing in this version; I need to slightly weaken the missile turret and increase the power of vulcans. That'll be available in the next content patch.
EDIT- VICTORY! Patch 1.24 contains in it the ability to increase map size limit to EIGHT (8) megabytes, up from FOUR (4). What this means is that I can fully implement machines now, give humans nifty buildings, and mutants more models. While I won't fill up the 8 MB, this should give me breathing room. Thanks, Blizzard! I hope you guys are as happy as I am.

send you a pm:
Crit error appears when somebody abort the upgrade of one of the machines little tower (mostly the listening tower)
some suggestions are in your pm, like better seeable oil patches, and the bombers, who dont work
looking forward!
New Suggestion: Sell or Pull Down building ability.
If you build your building wrong, you dont have any ability to sell it - would be nice, i dislike attacking my own buildings with units

Ah, well, thanks for putting up with all the bugs and problems in between the good versions.
I could've sworn that I had fixed that issue. I'll check again.
No, they are not part of the map anymore. They took up too much space and had a fatal error bug. Sorry, I'll work on them if I have time. See, I'm working on my other map now...
I played this map when the Rise of the machines patch came out so I decided to try this new version and ... wow..
The mutants really got improved a lot, i saw machines were not done yet but they sure looked like machines already :O
Havent tried humans yet but im sure they are really nice 2 ..
Only thing i missed was the no AI part but i know its coming,
Btw. its nice that you can finish machines now cus of the new patch.. gl on that!
Hah, thanks for posting. It's always nice to have some encouragement.

Well Angry your gonna be my next victim in the review of a map lol.
I'll edit this post when I am done with it.
REVIEW:
I've played as the machines to see if anything changed since the last time I've seen it, buggy.
-Playing it alone sucks since there was no AI, unlike the older version. So I had to test it online.
- I noticed that the weather on the multiboard never changes weather it's always light snow.
- Nano Foundry is not implemented in this, why show it to the people if it will never work?
-Having a Range circle to show how far you can build things with the machines is nice since I don't have to guess the whole time.
-Each building requires 1 generator which is a drag even if with the addons, I couldn't power 2 things with one.
-The machine shop little addons have one small problem, it says I can only have 1 of those upgrades but for some wierd reason I can get all of them. Either it's a tooltip error or a trigger error.
-The terrain is still the same, kinda no life even if it was suppose to be like that, and the middle is a death trap if someone sets up defenses up the hills.
-The funny thing with the machines is that almost everything is anti-vehicles while the only anti-infantry and mutants is the Assailer, some artillery rocket launcher machines and the snipers.
-Deadstalkers are nice but the problem is the computer controlling the other 2 are to stupid to blink.
-It would be nice to see some air machines the only thing close to air are the mech commandos with jetpacks but still.
-I don't see the point of having a nuclear reactor is if gonna blow up no matter what.
The uniqueness of each race is there which is fun. Maybe have a alien race for a 4th one if you like.
Overall I give it a 4/5

Dont make a bad review, angry bovins maps are awsome! And dont you forget it... I love playing mutants, I feel evily > Though it would be nice if you could buy all the upgrades instead of limiting to 20.

just found this map and tested it once..
(if there was even one set of ai it would be alot better to get more in depth to the game)
so i had to test it in a LAN match with my dorm mate, so far i really like this and this map is very unique with the squad system and everything, the frequent updates with new content are very nice to have.
the only thing thats missing is the ai from as far as ive gone
bug: it may have just been my friends outdated laptop but when i hit him on round 2 with mutants (he was human) it disconnected him with the count down timer i think its just his outdated laptop.
great map keep up the mapping.
MAJOR BUG: Mutants i had some kind of glitch occur where i had negative population i was unable to build anything with food ultimatly leading up to my death =/ i cant remember what happened exactly but i lost a few units and then everything went nuts..

I like the map but I can't always find soembody to fight. How do you start the computer? Do you need a specific game type or something?
