Hey everyone

I know its been posted about alot, but theres never any concrete answer. Im in the process of making a very custom map, uber triggers etc. I do NOT have the expansion, never have.

The map im making has been saved 202 times thus far, always as .w3m. Last time i tried to test my map, it wasnt there. I looked, and realized it had saved that last time as .w3x for some reason. the only change on this test was changing the value of 4 triggers from 50 to 150, relating to unit speed. all the triggers are the same, just aimed at different player colors.

so i tried to figure out why that change would cause that, and loaded the w3m, which is EXACTLY the same, just with 50 rather than 150 as the number to add to default speed. I open the w3m, dont change ANYTHING, go directly to save as, and it tries to save as w3x.

How can it open a perfectly fine w3m, not change anything at all, and think it needs to save as w3m all of a sudden?

I thought maybe itd be an editor preference thing.. so i looked through there, but nothing seems relevant.

no catapults, no new/fancy items, in fact the only custom units there are are unchanged except for tooltip names pretty much.

sorry for being so long winded :/ but thanks for reading!
 
AHA!

Ok, so i started going through the object editor and deleting/reseting custom anything id done one by one, then checking to see if it still required the expansion.

It finally changed back to no after i deleted a custom tower id made. I reverted then back to the original, pre mass delete, and ran through that towers modified fields. For some reason, the projectile art field was set as "advanced death tower" Whatever that is, i dont know. I definetely didnt set it to that myself.

I changed it to a standard cannon tower thing, and its not being wierd any more.

So i guess this is the lesson, after having read about other projectile art problem causers: Check projectile art on ANYTHING thats been customized AT ALL if you have a similar problem.

Ill post my map when its done. Sorry to take up space on the board :)

    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.

    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.

    That sounds like an adventure.

    I wonder how all these bots that sit on the lastest content page get passed anubis or maybe they did not but they are just registering on whos online
  • The Helper The Helper:
    showing up on whos online not registration
  • Ghan Ghan:
    The first gate is stopping all the bots that don't execute javascript.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That's the main thing with Anubis - no Javascript, no site. Typically you can still get the site to load without Javascript.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I remember the whole javascript thing, question - how many real people disable that?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hell I guess I could go back on the stats to know that - we probably capture that and we know the before and after
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Real users can't really disable Javascript anymore these days.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    The internet is broken without it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Bot readable, not human usable.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    got it
