Fail to publish map

[Exide]

Hi.

I can't publish my map. I'm wondering if it's just me, or if it's like this for everyone.

Here's a screenshot of the error message (I have no clue what it means.)

Personally, I haven't encountered publish errors yet, but I recommend you do the following:

(I assume your publish space isn't full - reading the error. The max space is 5 maps or a certain amount of bytes)
1) Try saving it with a different name and retry.
2) If it still doesn't work, post at the bliz tech help forum.

Question though:
Did you try making a custom loading screen? I assume the bug occurs there, reading the error.

1. Nope, not full. -Is there a max size for a single map, though?

3. That's what I thought too, but the thing is I haven't. -At least not deliberately.


It worked to publish my map yesterday. Then at night yesterday it stopped working.
The only difference I know that I made to the map (that I think might be responsible) is that I changed some values under 'Map -> Game Variants'.

Well, remove the game variant and then publish it, see if that works.

Yes, that is my plan B.
I was hoping that other users might have trouble publishing, though -so that it's Blizzard's fault or whatever.

Ok, so I removed the Game Variant and succesfully published the map.

Now I still have the old problem of my teams not being locked properly.

My map has three teams:
Team 1 - the "good guys" (players, terran, max 3)
Team 2 - the "bad guy" (computer, terran, only 1)
Team 3 - the "twist" (computer, zerg, only 1)


When I host my game, and am in the game Lobby any player can take any slot. (Not sure if they actually get control of the computer's units, though.)

I want to have Team 2 and 3 locked, removed even. -I don't care if it shows up or not. If it shows, I want it to be full of "Computer" players, that can't be moved. (Just like in WC3.)
Team 1 should be open for anyone, players, AI, whatever. (Even though AI won't actually do anything..)

I figured that fiddling around in Game Variant would help me solve this, but it only made it unable to publish. =/

Any ideas?

EDIT: Sorry for double posting, btw.

You'll have to use the Game Variant to do that i think.

Here be how anywho:
Go to (Game) Teams: Set it to 3 teams, lock it.
Go to (Player) Controllers: Set the two players you want to computers.
Go to (Player) Team [3 Teams]: Set one of the computers to Team 2, the other to Team 3, the other players to Team 1.

That should now work. Dont forget to lock them all so they cant be changed in-game.

That's pretty much what I did when it failed to publish.

I did what you said, step-by-step.
-It looked the same as always.

I tried fiddling around by myself again.
I'm pretty happy with how my settings looks now, and feel "this should be what I'm looking for."
However I fail to publish the damned thing again, so I can't check if it's what I want or not..

Error message this time:
VALIDATION_WORKING_SET_SCORE_SCREEN_FAIL

Again I don't have any idea what causes it or what it means..
Maybe someone around here has a clue?


EDIT: I did some testing with a new test map.
It seems I get the above error message if I change '(Player) Race'.
I tried most of the others and they uploaded sucessfully.

The problem is that, even when using a test map, I am unable to set up and lock the teams the way I want.. =/

This is not going to make you happy.

But once this happens your map is corrupt and wont upload.

I got this when I made a map before the first patch then after 1.02 it just failed to upload anymore.

Really really annoying but all i got form blizzard on the issue was "can you upload a blank new map" which you should be able to.

 

[Exide]

Actually I made a new map to test stuff.

When using custom 'Map -> Game Variants' the map might fail to publish; showing this error message.
I found out that changing anything in: 'Map -> Game Variants -> Attributes -> (Player) Race' causes this problem.
-Changing all values under '(Player) Race' to "None" fixes this problem.

So yea, problem solved.
No idea why it does that, though..
