[Crash] what is wrong with these maps

[andreasaspenberg]

in one of them there is building that cause a crash when it is selected after it is built. another crash the game when it is on the build menu. in another there is building that cause a crash when built with the undead build system only. please help me out without getting me punished for something i havent done.

 

[deathismyfriend]

most likely someone used getlocalplayer wrong or a corrupt model.

post triggers please.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the buildings that crash the game doesnt use any triggers. the buildings in faction war uses warcraft 3 models. the building that crash all races uses a custom model but it doesnt crash when built in the orc way, only when built the undead way. if you do want to look at the triggers you can check them out in the map.

 

[deathismyfriend]

I can't dl and look at the map lol.

does your builder has the required ability of that specific race to build? as example if you're building an undead building, does your builder has the 'Restore' ability equivalent of Repair on Human or Orc? try compare your builder's abilities with the default builder on each race (peasant/grunt/acolyte/wisp). while on that, try compare your building with respective race's building, see if there's data field that need to be filled.

if the model crash when using undead way.. then there are some parts of an undead that is not applicable in that model..


try using other models and tell us if the problem is still there..

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i have now tested that and it crash without the custom model as well so that means that it likely isnt the custom model. i posted the map so that people can look at it for me. it is much easier to find the issue by looking at the map directly. please look at it and post either a solution or a fixed map.

You should specify which units cause the crash in which maps. I have played both maps for awhile trying to get this crash to occur and was unable to replicate any crash.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

sure. i keep forgetting that people cant read my mind. in all races the capitol cause a crash when built by the ritual builder.(gnoll faction) in faction war the law blacksmith i believe crash the game if it is on the build menu.(information is on the loading screen though.) the animal barracks crash the game when it is selected after its construction is complete. there could be others though that i dont know of yet. please help me out.

With the ritual builder, it's a combination of his build type and the village/capitol/etc having the Gold Mine (Agld) ability instead of Hexed Goldmine (Abgm) you are supposed to use when summoning on top of a gold mine.

As for the "law Blacksmith org", it requires the "village Hall Faction choice", which upgrades to "Town hall good faction choice", which upgrades to "Command core faction choice", which upgrades to "Vanguard from level 1 buildings". When you convert the last one to a building, you can see that it can be upgraded, too. I have not further tracked it but it's kinda obvious you get into a loop at some point, which is why wc3 closes without any message.

It's similar for the "Animal barracks". At least "Animal townhall level 3 sheep only" you come across depends on itself.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

why do the animal barracks crash the game. buildings that upgrade into units work even if they upgrade back into the building. the village hall faction choice is the building that law starts with after being chosen from the tavern. i need to know how to solve the issues so please provide either a solution or a map where the bugs are fixed.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i found a workaround for all races and that was to make the ritual builder construct separate main buildings with the undead gold mine ability that then upgrades into the regular version. as for the issues with faction war, i really need help with it.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

please help me out. i would help you if you had a problem.

 

[WaterKnight]

What is remaining? I have explained the crashes. Giving you a fixed map does not tell you anything. Others have to take effort into analyze-testing the problem as well, that's not just about mapping skills, and know the map less than the creator does.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the main problem with faction war is that i dont have the slightest idea what is wrong. please either tell me how to fix it myself or fix it for me and then tell me how you did it.

As I have written before, you have cycling dependencies. What do you even think the field "Tech-Tree - Dependency (Equivalency)" is for? I do not know it myself but am pretty sure you do not need it. It's only used for ability morphing from normal to alternate form.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the animal barracks doesnt use that so what cause the problem with that.

 

[WaterKnight]

Not the animal barracks directly, but they have units listed that get inited as well as soon as the barracks appear because they need to pass information to the barracks like button pos, descriptions and costs. And those units may again have other objects listed and so on.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

what exactly prevents the law blacksmith from being on the build menu.

 

[WaterKnight]

Probably multiple reasons, it's a convoluted mess. Anyway, I have isolated a type of problem in the attached map. You have a upgrade cycle and at the same time one requires what it would upgrade into.
