Map Problem

[Spray-]

Heya all, got a.. pretty nasty problem with my map. Every time i host it online, 4-5 out of 9 ppl always get kicked (the waiting for host and then disconnected thing) at the same time, so im assuming thats not a server split. So what can i do about it? Bit annoying

Thanks in advance for any help! If you want me to upload the map so you can have a look, just ask.

You will have to upload the map. It's an initialization error and I'd need to see what you've written.

Oh yea, the disconnect thing happens after about 20-40 secs (basically the first wave, i think)

EDIT: Darnit, its saying it exceeds my limitations (uploading it) lol

EDIT 2: Ill put it up on Mediafire, gimme a sec

AND HERE WE GO: http://www.mediafire.com/?2uo1k3kjr1t

To be honest I have no idea why it's crashing. My best conclusion is that your editor has saved something incorrectly.. So I've saved it locally and uploaded again for you. See if that works.

Okay, thanks alot, ill try it out now

Well, almost all of your triggers leaks ALOT ! But maybe not so much to disconnect several people :S

Want a slight leakcheck of the map ?

 

[Spray-]

Yea i know pretty much ALL my triggers leak, lol Yea sure, i wouldnt mind a leakcheck

 

[Tyrulan]

It's most likely a referenced memory error.

 

[Spray-]

Right, what happend is it started out normal. Then i actually thought it was gonna work as the first level started and it was fine, but about 10 seconds in, some ppl said it started to lag and then BAM everyone got kicked except me

 

[Spray-]

It's most likely a referenced memory error.

Explain please.

 

[Komaqtion]

Here's the almost leakless map XD Too much work to leakcheck all those move triggers, so haven't leakchecked the Move Units folder, but the other stuff should be pretty much leakless, but i suggest you clean the leaks in the move triggers too

[Spray-]

Thanks alot! I've NO idea at all how to make it leak-less tho!

 

[Tyrulan]

Spray- try hosting again, this time play a different colour than you normally do. I assume you usually play red? Try blue. If you get kicked I can almost guarantee it's a null memory reference.

 

[Spray-]

Yea okay, ill try. Thanks.

 

[Spray-]

Lol, either there's too few ppl online now or ppl have just had enough of getting booted from the game I'll try tomorrow x)

@Spray
I'm having similar problems with my own map, except there is no lag, just a sudden disconnect. Also, it occurs very infrequently.

Also, looking at your map, a lot of it is leaky or redundant. In addition, you should never be using triggers you do not fully understand. Your damage triggers seem to be imported.

Your leaving player triggers, for example, can be vastly simplified.

Also... this looks a lot like a Wintermaul map...

 

[Spray-]

It is, a "remake" of Wintermaul, yes. But.. with Heroes I made one 3 years ago and i came back to Wc3 recently and thought i'd make a new improved one.

And yea, the Damage Text system is imported, but would that really be the cause of the problem tho? I like it

Edit: Its got "Maul" in the title after all

@Spray-
I doubt it's the problem, but I just don't think it's good to use things you don't understand.

Errr... let's see... what do our maps have in common. They both used something from a Wintermaul map. I imported the triggers and objects. We both have Ship at the end of the map. You use a unit group spawn system, I used to as well, though mine was staggered, but the desynchronization still occurs under a custom value system.

Tried playing Gray. Same thing happend as before.
