You need to improve description or no one will dl it

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Improve Description, tell us more about the map.

 

[Vengeancekael]

First of all, improve the description.

Second, shorten the map file name, else it won't appear in game.

Edit: THIRD:

People, this is just a joke and probably something like a virus, when you start the cinematic, then there isn't anything and nothing is going to happen, also it makes everything freeze, you can't use ALT+F4 to quit or ALT+Tab to jump to windows, you can only hope that ALT+CTRL+DEL will work.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

I ain't downloading it then lol.

 

[dead-man-walking]

ap0calypse is coming this way....
And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

 

[ap0calypse]

It's not a virus according to virustotal.com (site that scans a file with about 40 different antivirs), but I do notice something strange...
I tried deprotecting the file and it suddenly jumped from 6.8+MB to 77kB, a difference of... well, 6.8MB.
Usually, deprotecting maps leaves all imported files as they are, so something is really wrong here.

Then I tried running the 77kB-file... it looks okay in the world editor, not really much to point out, so I tried playing the map.
Result: warcraft completely froze, ALT + F4 doesn't work, ending the proces(structure) in CTRL + ALT + DEL doesn't help either, I could end warcraft by faking a force shutdown.

I'll discuss this with other moderators at once, I'm thinking about a ban, maybe others will think differently.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Well it does not need to be a classic virus.

You can also create a map which (dunno how) freeze wc3 and disables your computer.
I think that's what Venge meant with the virus...

I saw those maps before but the -6.8 mb thing is really strange :/
Maybe there is a file somehow connected to the map which is supposed to harm your computer

 

[dead-man-walking]

Hmmm.... A ban wouldn't hurt.... He's not a contributive member anyway.

 

[ap0calypse]

I've banned him.
I just can't think of any reason why deprotecting a map makes it lose a huge file, unless that file isn't meant to be seen.

If you have downloaded this map, I highly suggest you remove it immeadiately.

Honestly i appreciate your decision but I think you should have given him the possibility to explain :/

I mean everybody has the right for a fair trial and you can still ban him afterwards :/

That's how the real world does it indeed =D
Anyway, how can you explain something like this? How can a map freeze warcraft so badly that you can't shut it down?

If another moderator wants to give him another chance, he can still get unbanned.

 

[Pyritie]

That's just a case of running it fullscreen. I always run my wc3 in windowed mode

 

[ap0calypse]

then warcraft is the only game that does this when freezing xD (might be possible).
Still, a map shouldn't be able to freeze... I've done some terrible things in the WE, but I never achieved something like that.

(and the file size decrement is suspicious as well).

 

[Pyritie]

oh, I've had my campaign freeze wc3 plenty of times one of the reasons why I run it in windowed mode all the time

 

[ap0calypse]

oh, I've had my campaign freeze wc3 plenty of times one of the reasons why I run it in full screen all the time

Why you don't run it in full screen then? (since it's hard to close it in full screen).
How did you do that? =D

 

[Pyritie]

yeah, sorry

right-click your shortcut to wc3 > properties > Target > add "-window" (without the quotes) to the end of the path. So it should look like "A:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -window.

Running it from WE will still make it run full screen. I think JNGP has an option to change that but I think that's the only way to change it in there.
