X Hero Siege 3.12

[RipVanWinkle]

Just a few things:

I gave the Lich a few test runs and found that if you use his Frost Nova spell on the units in the third wave the game will encounter a fatal error. Oddly enough, this didn't happen every time...it actually appeared to have no consistency whatsoever of when it would crash. In other words, Frost Nova seems to be "sensitive" to no particular unit. Kind of like a "luck of the draw" scenario.

As for the Archmage, her "hit points" or life bug is still present.

chitchat: What hanmap108 said about the mini-ghost is true...I have also come across him. Now, seeing is how Sogat said "hanmap108: right, play as final boss (ghost) is one of the secrets", and secrets is plural, I have been looking for others but have had no such luck yet on finding any.

Sorry for the lengthy post.

 

[Hokibukisa]

its better

 

[FrenZieD*ShoGuN]

:twisted: :
dont you think that´s a bit abusive to put the big waves(necromancers etc) :?:

 

[Hokibukisa]

NO!
Its your fault for not making 7 disposible copies of your hero!!
:roll:

 

[Slayer]

very fun map

 

[Gares]

Anyone know how to get the ghost hero yet? I've seen one person play it in game, but don't know how to do it yet.

 

[chitchat]

me too ... pls reveal how to get ghost as hero...

 

[Sogat]

Ghost is just for random mode and for command -random. See quests in v3.05 for details.

 

[i2ichardt]

Please List The New Changes/additions To The Version Whenever You Update The Map!!!

 

[chitchat]

thx sogat hehe... tonite will go random all the way heheh... must try out the ghost hero

 

[chrispy711]

How can a group of 3 people easily kill the rounds when the strong forces appear? they seem to nail us every time.
also what difficulty is the easiest is it normal or standard?

 

[Sogat]

i2ichardt: Importent changes are listed in the opening screen when you start the game.

chrispy711:
Some tips: Go special event "Mirror Image" to get +100 to all stats (go in circle of power east-south from castle). Buy "Amulet of the Wild" (Furbolog) or "Cloak of Flames" at castle for 5k gold. Use "Potion of Healing". Summon units if possible for you hero.

Standard = normal ^^. In "Standard Options" all default options are selected automaticaly for a fast start of game. In "Normal Mode" you can select the options manually.

 

[ShiNz]

Anyone know hw was the special arena(get lightning sword 1) occurred?

 

[OsamaBinLaden]

I have encountered another special event bug in 3.05. I joined a game in normal level , and when the first special event occured , I was not teleported. I was frozen in my original position. Some ally that teleported back and somehow was also not frozen killed me and then I was unfrozen. After the special was over I was tp back to my original location , but my camera was moved to the pit lord`s arena.

Same happened with the 2nd special event. Again I was not teleported.

Bugs in version 3.09
====================
When play in double hero mode, after the final wave, I found that when one of the hero has been killed, it cannot be revived, but another hero still can be used.

Comments about extreme level 999
================================
I play it in single player, with cheat code to get a lot of gold, it is crazy that heroes comes out with very high statistics, 2000+, 5000+, 10000+, !!!!!!!!!!. Is this a problem? I only can kill those heroes with cheat code whoisyourdaddy because these heroes' armor are overwheming, but every other dark force units like silent killer, dragon attackers are just ok.

Suggestions for future version
==============================
0) The Ghost hero is rather easy to be killed than Arthus
1) Add more heroes
2) Modify some spells like which seems to be useless all the time, like absorb enemy mana, mountain king's lightning immolation, and a lot of the special abilities when reach level 20.
3) Add extra ability, E.g. permanently increase statistics
4) Add more items, while much of the items like orbs may not be helpful much
5) Add more level for spells and techniques
6) Add more special events
7) Allow each hero to build a single building for some purpose
8) Allow tree summoning, so far I cannot found a tree in the map, but my housemate found a tree when play in one of the previous version
9) Allow hero transformation

 

[OsamaBinLaden]

As usual...another bug ...

I was playing with 2 more guys today and we were collecting money from the strong monsters that come out of the two opened doors, after we had taken out the first barracks. One ally went to do the all hero images quest which takes some time. So I was guarding the right side and I was totally mobed. The game started to lag badly we could barely chat. Just before total freeze my ally returned back and started claring the mob.During that all our heroes had their level 20 ability replaced by command aura!! After my ally killed the mob and the barrack the game fast forwared for a while and then we continued to play till we finished it , still with command aura as our new level 20 ability. My blademaster ally told me that only during his blade-spinning special attack he could sea the icon with his normal level 20 ability.

 

[stanleyz]

Whenever I use Lich and me and my friend get up to the special event where you get lots of gold for killing monsters, it crashes.

 

[Sogat]

A list of changes in version 3.07 (befor anyone asks):

1. Complete translation to english
2. The heroes in "Double Heroes Mode" are automatically adjusted (both heroes have same stats, hero level and items)
3. Added once repick for random mode and command -random.
4. Changed the ultimate for Lich (hope it helps to prevent that problem with fatal error, tested in single player)
5. Fixed problem with Command Aura (thx OsamaBinLaden)
6. All creeps attacks heroes and units with Anti-Magic (eg. MK)
7. More hero balancing and some detail changes.

 

[Cookie]

You should fix pitlord too:

pitlords ultimate (doom) cannot be cast on creeps higher then lvl 6 (which all enemies are during the special)

Pitlords ultimate (doom) summons deals friendly splash damage-> very bad

 

[BladeKiller]

Hi! I've found a new bug.. I started a game and picked all random.. So all got their heros.. but me, i had two heros.. my first hero was pitlord and my second was ghost hero.. the other embarassing thing was that player pink had no hero.. so i had 2 heros and i made the ghost hero stronger with tomes etc.. but always my first weak hero was teleported into special arenas etc..

 

[ChiunJie]

-extreme 9 command removed?
How to change mode in 3.07?

 

[Sogat]

Cookie: right, doom doesn't work on creeps. If I changed the level of creeps at the special event to level 1. It doesn't work too (I think problem of WC3TFT). For the ability doom you can't select the creep level for that you can use it. In version 3.07 at special event sheep units are summoned for Pit Lord to use Doom.

BladeKiller: right, it's a bug. Fixed in next version. Ghost allways created only for red player (only in All Random Heroes).

 

[Sogat]

ChiunJie: The command -extreme 9 is removed in v3.07. Because nobody play this level ^^. The most players have problems to play extreme level 1.

This level selector (-extreme INTEGER) is unlimited. In version 3.05 was limited to 9 (to prevent lag). In some cases level number equal to number of summoned units (eg. dragons). If you want then I implement it again (unlimited).

 

[butsj]

Sogat: I tried v3.07 just a few minutes ago (single player), when the special arena was finished (the one where you have to kill a lot ), my hero didn't moved back to the castle.
And I also sold my scroll of town portal so i couldn't play any further.

More users experienced this bug? (BTW: i had the dryad hero).

 

[ChiunJie]

"This level selector (-extreme INTEGER) is unlimited."
I love this idea really.
We have been playing extreme mode 9 all day long since 3.05.
Just do it. thx sogat a lot. ^_^ Lovely..

 

[rikku]

well thanks to your map I really enjoy a lot

but this one you delete the -extreme 9

I was so diappointed

I always played the extreme 9

I think it was not very difficulty

at the beginning you just to chanllenge yourself

to get your heroes level up

the rest all you need is to work well with each

other.

expecting your next version

would you put the extreme mode in ?

 

[LnF_Dreamcatcher666]

EDIT:
Did I say Pitlord? I meant Cryptlord.... he is so powerful
But the Pitlord aint bad either... area damage and stuff ... lovely

First off: GREAT MAP Nothing more to say *g*

ITACHI: Why would you assume the Pitlord is a bad hero? Because he cant kill masses of monsters? He can with his doomguards...
Do you think his skills are worthless? That is absolutely incorrect!
Believe it or not... Ive got a replay of a 3.07 public normal random game with several n00bs in it where I myself killed Arthas with the Cryptlord. Want the replay? ask me Btw... I also did both the 2k and the wave arena with him as well as the two infernal special arenas.... got it all on tape

Its sooo damn easy killing him... almost as easy as the Priestess of the Moon does it If Im not mistaken that sis another highly underrated Character. There is no other hero out there who can kill arthas faster than her, unless of course you keep farming the final lanes forever.

Frankly I think people should give every hero a chance to prove himself... There is only a very small selection of heroes that I still consider more or less worthless, but I believe I just didnt find the edge yet

Thats why I love random... you get to play characters you wouldnt choose by yourselft... and get rid of those nasty game-aint-running-well-cuz-im-not-the-super-hero-leavers.

So much for that topic
I still got a few things left to tell Sogat:
There are still bugs in the map like the fatal errors and getting stuck in special arenas(Lightning Sword arena in my case)
Another strange thing is that you cannot unsummon your beetles with the cryptlord. They remain permanent untul destroyed.... that is very unfortnuate having them stuck in the second special arena with a limit of 5 on em...

[Cookie]

Regarding the crypt lord bugs, you can force summon them, killing the old previous beetles (it is a standart tft feature..) in the arena.

At least the beetles are fun to use with their lvl 4 variations, their detonate suicide is very nice thing and makes it fun to play

(seriously fix the pitlords ultimate's friendly fire, I ve seen the pitlord get hurt more with those summons then without)

 

[CannabisX]

W00T, FIRST time got ghost, and he pwns! =D btw, i just use random and got him, no special stuff srry. nice going with him sogat, really nice, maybe a lil bigger would be good and the rain of chaos thing good, but the problem is that in the 2nd special arena, the one where theres lots of monster and mass spawn, usualy i get full, but i only got 500k with ghost and btw, when the ghost gets banished by the shield or something, looks cool man!

 

[CannabisX]

srry about that ghost thing, but i liked him alot err and one bug, im not too sure if it's in 3.07, but in 3.05, when i finished destroying one of the ghoul spawning thing, and went back, the server splitted and i was like !!!!! (wasted an hour on that).. so wondering if the bug is still in 3.07 or if u fixed it yet. btw, i used tauren cheif i think, or pali :S forgot lol..

 

[RupanSansei]

hello
great map as always

but I'm still looking forward for the bugs about some heroes to be fixed
for me and lot of people Liche king bugs at a moment when he level ups (around level 17~20), same for the hero with bears and wolves...
I'm using a french client but I doubt it's in relation with the crash of w3.exe at each time

 

[OsamaBinLaden]

I played 3.07 yesterday for the first time. The Lich bug is still there :/ Also something strange happened in a game : I stared with clear inventory ( no potions no scroll no ankh) , my stats felt somoehow too low , and in the first wave where I was killed , when the respawn timer finished I was nowhere...like I had been transformed to observer! Anyway the castle soon after was destroyed but it was really weird.

 

[Cookie]

Someone stated that it has to do with the lvling upping of lich between lvl 16-20, so perhaps there is a trigger broken that supposed to give lich his ulti?

 

[OsamaBinLaden]

I dont know excacly what level our lich was but for certain it was below level 10.

 

[jesse_cool5]

is there a way to make this easyer for 2 players we do alright untill the wave of undead come then we die :?: :?:

 

[Slayer]

i was playing 3.07 the other day with the mountain king and i managed to kill 2000 units and 80 wave units at the same time so i got teleported to the special arena and i had to fight all 3 footman. I managed to get the lightning sword and i was about to kill the dude with the ring but then he got teleported back to the platform thingy so i couldnt get the ring... i dunno if its still like that on 3.08

 

[BladeKiller]

Whats new in 3.08?

 

[Sogat]

Changes in v3.08: Added dificulty levels from 5 up to level 999 for extreme mode ^^ (read quests for more info) and fixed some bugs (All random mode, Pitlord...).

Lich Bug: Cookie, only one trigger is used for all heroes to give them the level 20 ability. In v3.08 the Lich ability "Breath of Frost" is replaced. This standard ability of WC3TFT is bugged. It do damge to units with antimagic (eg. Golems in Special Event). Perhaps it produce the fatal error in combination with "Frost Beast". This must be tested on Battle.net because I never get that fatal error in single player mode.

jesse_cool5: I think the "Normal Mode" is very easy. The difficulty is automaticlly adjusted in dependend of number of players and difficulty level. Number of wave units that appears is dependen of number of players too. Some tips: Go special event "Mirror Image" to get +100 to all stats (go in circle of power east-south from castle). Buy "Amulet of the Wild" (Furbolog) or "Cloak of Flames" at castle for 5k gold. Use "Potion of Healing". Summon units if possible for you hero.

 

[jesse_cool5]

thanks for those tips i am getting better i can survive up to wave 6

 

[jesse_cool5]

i now keep getting a fatal Error it says

FATAL ERROR!

Program: C:\program files\warcraft 3\war3.exe
Exception: 0x0000005 (access_violation) at 001B:6f70E61A

The instruction at '0x6F70E61A' referenced memory at '0x00000070'. The memory could not be 'written'

Press OK o terminate the application

Any ideas on how to stop it from doing this?

 

[Cookie]

Pitlord's ulti is not castable on neutral/friendly units..useless in the special

the frost breath ability is not bugged, it was supposed to damage magic immune units as well (dragons special, hits all).

Will try the lich in 3.08, but I doubt its the frost breath ability that crashes the game as previous versions before 3.00 (where he had the ability) he didnt crash at all cept the frost infernals (even then they caus a netsplit)

 

[GetOverHere]

jesse_cool5,

Your fatal error seems to be some access violation, why don't you go check your permissions on the computer.
Also have a look at your wc3 files, I think some of them have some access right issues.

Cheers,

 

[GetOverHere]

jesse_cool5,

Access rights as in read write properties.
So select your wc3 directory, right click and make sure it can all be read and write. Having a second look at your error message, it seems that when running the .exe, something gets logged or written to a file and it seems that the file has only read permissions.

Cheers,

 

[OsamaBinLaden]

Actually this error means that either there is a hardware/drivers problem or one of the players has picked lich as his hero.

 

[Cookie]

we need to make a group and test out whats making he lich cause to crash =P

 

[Spoticus]

I have been playing this map on a small lan of 2-3 people with some mates over the last few days. Its a great map and we have had a lot of fun, though the Lich crash really stuffed us a round. One guy usually played the Lich as his armour really helps early on and we didnt realise it was him causing the crashes for quite some time.

I have seen a few people say they prefer extreme mode and I was wondering about a good tactic verse the assassins? Atleast the first two times they attack we find it quite hard to not be near insta killed by them.

 

[Cookie]

with cloack of fire and pots and of course the 100+ stat bonus at start 9with random) really helps to fend those assasins

 

[Spoticus]

Just wondering what 100 stat bonus? I know you get the 4k extra but 100 stats?

 

[Cookie]

Sogat: what is changed? Imo the crash with the lich is somehow related to those frost beasties and with his lvl 20 ability regarding art

Delete the war3mappreview.tga , saves space

Delete/remove/dont make a backup of protected files, it takes like 190kb compressed off the total filesize, which is like 1/3 of the map. Total waste of space if you ask me (just make a copy for your own, but for distro remove the backup)

 

[Sogat]

Changes in v3.09: Just fixed the lich bug (game crash with fatal error).

Cookie: It was the ability "Frost Paralysis" that produce the crash (in v3.09 it is replaced by another ability). I never saw the content of the map with a mpq tool ^^. I'll see which files I can remove.
