Reasons why Server splitting occurs?

[PhoenixICE]

Well i've looked around a couple of forums - and i've found out if u use pan camera as neccessary, units loaded already in the water can stuff up ur map and cause it to split - with the units already loaded in water does that count shallow water? and is there other reasons cause my map splits within the first 2-4 seconds (<--- plz note that, alot of ppl suggest memory leak but in the first 2-4 secs i really doubt it and various other things that cannot happen in 2-4 seconds), map link is: http://www.epicwar.com/maps/11094

 

[Evan1993]

The first chapter of this tutorial have most of the things that cause sever splits.

 

[PhoenixICE]

hmmm good guide but doesn't help me - the server splitting issue in my map - i've tried all of what was said in the guide

 

[chovynz]

How many triggers have you got? Would you like to post some? or post the entire map?

 

[PhoenixICE]

well i got the map link i'll post some triggers for u too see:

hmm

WHY are you converting these triggers to jass? I dont think your writing them in jass (I dont know, just a guess)

And please put the # code around it, its next to quote!

it looks like

THIS

 

[PhoenixICE]

alot easier to copt k i'll edit it later on into gui soz.

#test#

 

[Exide]

No, no.
The # is the button that you press to get the CODE tags (instead of writing them.)

You have to write CODE (like a Html tag.) If you know what I mean.

But instead of the html tag's < *text* > you use [ *text* ]

I'm probably confusing you right now.
But it should look like this:

[ CODE ] [ /CODE ] (But without the spaces)

 

[phyrex1an]

[ CODE ] [ /CODE ] (But without the spaces)

Just as a FYI: You can use the [noparse][noparse][/noparse][/noparse] tag to display the code without spaces.
Like: [noparse]

some code

[/noparse]

 

[Exide]

Oh.
Um.. Testing?

[NOPARSE]

[/NOPARSE]

EDIT: Cool, it works! ^^ But it made my CODE non-capitalized.

 

[AceHart]

> it works! But it made my CODE non-capitalized.

Code and other tags aren't case-sensitive anyway...

 

[PhoenixICE]

hmmm i'll just upload the .j file

 

[Chocobo]

Then its not the initialization part but the preload part that is wrong or wrongly done.

 

[phyrex1an]

A suggestion is to disable triggers until you don't have a desync, if it isn't obvious what action that causes the desync then start to disable actions in that trigger until you don't have a desync.

If it's just a single action or a group of actions that causes this then you will find the error using this method.
If it's more than one thing that causes this (like lots of leaks (I don't think this is the problem)) then it requires a bit more thinking but using this will atleast get rid of the error, spotting it's harder.
If the error isn't a trigger error (can be something else) or not caused indirectly by triggers then the error will be there after disabling all triggers. If so then you know where to not look

 

[PhoenixICE]

yea i was afraid i had to do that....well i need alot of dedicated beta testers then...

Edit: okay i've narrowed it down its not trigger problem. What terrain problems are associated with server split?

Edit 2: okay i've found out : if u have structures or any units in ANY water including shallow and deep then it splits for no reason thnxs everyone for trying bb.

 

[SerraAvenger]

I normally used [noparse]

[/code][/noparse]^^
But here it does not work
vB =! BB :'(
