Bugreport 8.2x - Exodus - 2007-03-29
This topic is just for bugs. If you've found one, post it here.
Now discussion are allowed, only if they are needed to clarify the bug.
- TKF - 2007-07-05
Discovered Multiboard icon bug in 8.20: When you buy a tank, the icon should change, but still shows off as a tinker.

If u try ultra rush or rush u can't play...makes everyone lag..the version has a BIG problem with lag...check it out and withdraw it from download
- TKF - 2007-07-05
You added much features into the map! 1 or more elements is making the map lagg more than before the old 8.15 version. I personally suspect the burning threes graphic system is causing some of it. But I don't know...
Could it be more memory leak(s)...?
- Bob666 - 2007-07-06
everything could it be, yes... hm, but i dont think the trees are it, because the script is called very rarely... i was pretty sure it was the fog of war sight refreshing for ground tanks, so that they can look over cliffs, reduced the speed a bit, but somebody already told he had a lagg-free game with fog
- Exodus - 2007-07-06
Well, this may also depend on the host and how fast his PC is. I think we have to do some tests ... in bnet.
- Bob666 - 2007-07-06
yes, it depends on the host and the pcs, but not that much, as terrain-deformations always lagg in the internet, and perhaps changing the terrain texture has the same effect... i dont believe there are too much scripts, i think thats its something like the terrain deformation, and it could already be fixed...
- TKF - 2007-07-07
Much features has been added and changed to the map. 5v5 on normal will in most cases unfortunately create unplayable lagg and 2-3 leaves and it will at some degree be playable...
I might be paranoid but the commanders large flamethrower effect and staring at those train tracks make me feel they are in some degree responsible for increased lagg... :roll:
- Bob666 - 2007-07-07
well, i dont know its something visible, i believe its some kind of warcraft bug, like terrain deformation causes lagg, and whatever else might do this, too
- TKF - 2007-07-07
Most of the normal games get disconnected at b.net. I prefer playing lagfree 8.15 rather than laggy 8.20.
There is also 3d object leaks (the model itself has a leak hole through untextured hole in the model), but I don't think this problem exist in warcraft in same degree as in half-life. Are there something new which is imported into the latest map lately?
- Exodus - 2007-07-07
Well, obviously the rails are new. But I'd also guess that some scripts are possibly causing the lag, I'll make some test to see how to reduce them.

BUGS 8.20
Hyperspace breaker:
Got firend to go tinker. I set up some breakers at his control point. He uses control point teleport to go there. No effect. This is fine... don't want $300 item to take 25% infernal HP when he teleports in to save his control point...
Now i get him to use his teleport skill. Still no effect. What's going on?
Got him to buy teleporter item and use it. No effect again. Bugged...
Regarding the toops spawned from a player owned factory... Their hitpoints are a few levels behind that of the rest of the creeps. For example, here's team troops and spawned troops HP:
creep / player spawned
528 / 396
624 / 468
The attack damage was the same thought. I'm not sure if this is the case with the troop command's troops or only factory. But it is a disadvantage.
ALSO
When you upgrade team weapons or armour, it says "DOGG1 has upgraded PlayerTeam's wepaons" etc... it never used to say "playerteam" what's going on?
Troop command timer... build 2 towers. drop troop command in tower. use it. kill tower. pick up with 2nd tower, use it, kill tower, pick up with tinker, use it. The timer keeps resetting... you can spawn 30 troops at a time this way.
Plus one minor thing - at the end of one game i saw "team2 (creeps) has teamkilled playerx (from team2)" when the castle blew up.
- DOGG1 - 2007-07-08
Gotta run but i'll quickly post the crash bug. I'll do the cheat bug tomorrow.
8.20 CRASH BUG
I highly doubt this would ever happen during an actual game.
STEP1: Ultra rush
STEP2: Tinker
STEP3: Buy experience tomes, till you can't buy any more. Notice when you are full level and attempt to buy a tome, it falls to the ground, unlike other items.
STEP4: Now... build a tower near the tome(s) on the ground. Pick one up with the tower. This will crash everyone's warcraft.
- Exodus - 2007-07-08
Hyperspace Breaker and Troops are fixed, I'll see what I can do about the other things.

8.20 BUG
How to cheat:
the point of no sharing is to not be able to share, unless -share is typed, right?
In no share mode...
player1 wants a weapon.
player2 is rich and can buy him one.... but this is a no-sharing game.
player1 types -afk
player2 controls him and buys a weapon.
player1 comes back and has a free weapon. this is sharing.
Also, if you try buying a tank for the person who is afk it says "cannot buy vehicle for another player" or something to that effect. But doesn't -playerswap just bypass all this? I mean if i have 10k and i swap with someone with 1k... he gets my pumped tank and i can just pump his with my 10k... which is kinda silly, since sharing is disabled.
- Saiyuki - 2007-07-08
doesnt swap also includes gold??
- DOGG1 - 2007-07-08
Saiyuki Wrote:doesnt swap also includes gold??I certainly hope so! But i dont think it does? (dont know havent tested). Even if it did, there's still the -afk thing
- Saiyuki - 2007-07-08
yeah, playersswap also swap gold (checked it from a discussion with bob about it)
"-afk" may be possible? no i dont think so, dont they receive a dummy item for each free slot, so they cant buy any items?!
- DOGG1 - 2007-07-09
Saiyuki Wrote:yeah, playersswap also swap gold (checked it from a discussion with bob about it)I forgot how i done it. I'll have to check again. Takes 2 computers (or playing with friend). I'll repost the exact procedure when i get around to it again.
"-afk" may be possible? no i dont think so, dont they receive a dummy item for each free slot, so they cant buy any items?!
EDIT: I think it involves a tech mech... while the actual player may have no free slots, his tech mech may.
- DOGG1 - 2007-07-09
Yeah... here's the full method....

player2 controls tech mech and buys a weapon.
player1 'returns' and has a free weapon in his tech mech, which he can now use.
