Custom Resource Manipulation System






Trading Resources

You can activate the command by typing "-sell gold/gems ", followed by the amount of resource you'd want to sell.
The calculation for gems is: amount of sold gold divided by 200.
The calculation for gold is: amount of sold gems times 200.

Example 1: -sell gems 800 -> this will remove 800 gems from you and give you 800 * 200 = 160 000 gold.
Example 2: -sell gold 200 000 -> this will remove 200 000 gold from you and give you 200 000 / 200 = 1000 gems.

Giving Resources

Custom resource trading system used for trading goods between players.
You can give resources by typing "-give gold/gems ", followed by a player number (1-8), and then afterwards the amount of resource you're willing to give.

Example: -give gold 6 25000 -> This will give 25 000 gold to player 6
Note that you cannot send resources to yourself.

I did not encounter a "stuck". It all normally proceeded for me. You have had an enemy alive somewhere most likely.

Worst lag I've ever seen o_O

I THINK this map is fun, but I can't be sure because I'm having a major lag issue. The game lags after every special event. The lag isn't so bad after the first event, but after the second one the framerate drops tremendously and doesn't get better for a minute or so. After the third event, it lagged so bad and for so long that the game was completely unplayable and all my things died before it got better. It was moving at like 1 frame per 5 seconds, and was stuck that way for several minutes. The only reason I could wait that long was because I was keeping myself occupied with my phone.

I was playing on single player, All Pick mode, and didn't use any cheats. Latest version, 1.4a.

Yeah, I am very aware of that lag part after SE. Happens to me aswell. But I'm still today trying to find out why the hell is it lagging. I simply cannot find the mistakes I did, everything seems ok in coding part.
Any other problems you stood upon?

EDIT: What mode and difficulty were you playing on?

Single player mode, All Pick, and Normal difficulty, didn't use any cheats.

I'd like to have more feedback for you but the lag really puts me off playing more since it means I have no chance of getting further than the third special event.


I have absolutely no idea what goes on behind the scenes of your map, but I'll throw out a guess: usually lag is cause by too many of something. Too many things on the map, too many effects, and ESPECIALLY too many things appearing/disappearing at the same time. It's possible that after every Special Event, you've made the game remove too many things, or replace too many things (or both).

When I say "things" I'm not necessarily talking about units and objects. It could be a bunch of triggers turning on/off that causes the lag.

As for the fact that the lag gets progressively worse every time, maybe each Special Event leaves something behind and you forgot to get rid of it? Maybe some of the code "spills over" after each event. For example, the game freezes everything not related to the Special Event and then unfreezes them once the event is over. It's possible you accidentally have it unfreeze everything multiple times, corresponding to how many Special Events there have been.

I must emphasise that I could just be talking out of my ass here. Still, I wanted to put these guesses out there just in case I'm actually onto something. Anyway, good luck with the fixing, and I hope to play this map more when this issue is resolved.

This feedback helps me very much, as now I have more clues onto what to search and look out for.
I will take time, and do close inspection for those changes, and whatnot you mentioned. Very appreciated. :)

Hello BloodDrunk. As I was playing your map with my friends, I found some bugs. When Illusionist and Abystic Flamelord buy the immune spell item, they both can't create Illusion. Pls can you look at it?

Thanks for the 5 stars, I really put alot of time and effort into it. Too bad I lost the will to keep working on it. Nowadays I'm just focusing on my life, and temporarily abandoned wc3 modding.
Maybe I'll return to this in soon time.

Dude, i know what you mean, i myself made few maps (not bad ones) and now i am currently doing my last, and best (i hope). It's not gonna be something great, i have real life stuff after all, so i never became any good, but.. i am making this map for weeks :D . Not going to do this to myself again.

Very fun version. Some heroes are definitely far, far stronger than others, at all stages in the game(RIP Int) but regardless I really enjoyed my playthrough. My only complaint is that some upgrades are technically downgrades, as they remove the crit modifier from the previous tier, and the on hit effect they provide doesn't make up for it
