It will always make FATAL ERROR on war3. (As Image below)
I have tried letting my friends create the game, got the same result.
But other maps or Old Version of Battle Tank (8.80c) have no error.

Just FYI :
I'm BTanks Player from Thailand.
We have a small group of BT Players (40+ active) that play only Battle Tank Map.
- www.facebook.com/groups/btthailand/

We are really excited that BTanks Dev Team is back and the map is updated.
We have been playing Battle Tanks 8.80c everyday for 4 years now in Thailand via ThaiCyberGames Network.

We're very happy to see this updateSmile
So, please re-check the map again.

Thank You

Okay, now to my question: if I edit the 8.67 Battle Tanks map everything works fine, i was able to create new shops &buildings, I already created some new Tanks (some based on old Tanks, like Demon Tank 2.0, more tankier, bigger and stronger abilities) and i can create new weapons. But then i wanted to edit the 8.80 Map, because there is already a lot work done, so I added a new Tank and a new weapon. Then I wanted to test them, if they work and the Tooltips are working, but when i tried to start the map, I wasn't able to get it working,  it looks like it starts, but then the Options like bots etc. come back down, if you know what i mean, so i can't go ingame :c Now i wanted to ask, where my mistake is, or if it`s protectet so I destroy the map with editing? Already thank you for your answers !Big Grin 

P.S.: Actually it's boring to make the map while sitting alone in my room with my PC , so if sb. wants to work with me (prefered a German)  together on one map, just pm me and we can exchange Skype Informations or smth. like that :D]]>

I just restarted playing this game since a long time.
The community is obviously dying, but I was wondering if anyone has started creating a native Battle Tanks game?

Like Dota 2 this should be possible for BT!

I would be interested to help with this.

If you have any information about this please contact me!

Cheers,

I just went over my notes about the next BT version I made some time ago. Several of the entries are about bugs ... but they are severly lacking. So I want to list everything I know here and I'd like to ask all of you to provide as much addional information as you can. The more we know, the more likely it will be, that it will be fixed eventuallyWink

The most important thing about any bug is its reproducabilty. If you can provide a scenario where I can reproduce a bug 100%, I will most likely be able to fix it. So I'd like to ask you guys to provide any clue or information you posses about a bug or even report bugs, that I didn't list.

Alright, this is what I have:

Description: CP countdown sometimes stops during conquer
Severity: major
Reproducability: ?

Description: Burst armor sometimes drops out of the inventory
Severity: minor
Reproducability: ?

Description: DPS stat is incorrect for the Storm Tank Cannon
Severity: minor
Reproducability: learn skill and use it

Description: Thunder Tank ult sometimes stops jumping to next target
Severity: minor
Reproducability: ?

Description: Raider ult damages even after the tank itself died
Severity: minor
Reproducability: ?
Info: http://league.btanks.net/game.php?gameid=42017 at 30 min

Description: Tanks sometimes disappear
Severity: major
Reproducability: ?
Info: http://league.btanks.net/game.php?gameid=42010  at 1h20min the blue tank

Description: sometimes items disappear when a tank gets netted
Severity: major
Reproducability: ?

Description: Desynch after Devastator Shot was used
Severity: major
Reproducability: ?

Description: Tank dies during hull upgrade leads to a dropped hull item
Severity: minor
Reproducability: ?

Description: Conservation sometimes doesn't work, when the target tank drives into CP range
Severity: minor
Reproducability: ?

Description: Tech Mechs sometimes trigger the Beacon
Severity: minor
Reproducability: ?


That's all I have written down. There are some more in the bug forum, I know. I'll take a look at them later. For now, if you can provide anything to the bugs mentioned here (or even if you know other ones, that have not been reported yet), please feel free to post it here, it will be highly appreceated!]]>

I'll use this thread to show to you, what you have to do, to be able to open, load and save the map. I'll just show you how I did it. This does not mean that this is the only possible way or the only possible configuration.

Editor
Since Battle Tanks has been developed using vJass, the original editor for Warcraft III is not enough. I used the one linked below. It's not the latest version available, but I know it works.
To use it, just unpack it anywhere and start the NewGen WE.exe, which will be the standard editor for the BT development.
Be aware that some programs will detect this tool as a virus (Firefox was also warning me of the download link), but it is not a virus! After working for years with this program without any problem, I can assure you that it is legit.
As for the setup, disable UMSWE and you are set. With this you should be able to do everything with the map you want to do.

Map optimizer
This tool is used for two reasons: it prevents curious people from looking into your map (but only if they are not determined enough) and it also significantly reduces the size of the map, making it much better for distributing.
When using the optimizer, make sure that you don't overwrite the already existing map file, but rather that you create a new file with it. Otherwise you will destroy your own work.

as you problably noticed, it has been quiet around the development of Battle Tanks. The sad truth is, our time available for this project and our motivation to work on it are not what they used to be. So we were faced with a decision to make. Battle Tanks exists for almost as long as the Frozen Throne expansion of Warcraft 3 (which makes it almost 12 years old). So seeing it simply die is not worthy of the game.

So we decided the following:

We will make Battle Tanks Open Source

Ideally this would mean that everyone would contribute towards a new version by submitting his / her work to a central repository. The proprietary nature of the Warcraft map files makes this harder than I'd like. So for now, we will only make the map available for everyone, so you guys can see what the map looks like in its current form.

If anyone has questions or suggestions regarding this map feel free (and encouraged!) to voice them here.

The aim - at this time - is to take the input of the community and maybe continue the development in a way that is feasible.
Of course, if someone wants to make a mod or use parts of the code for his own project, he / she is free to do so - it's open source after all. But we would still like to get credit, if substantial parts of the map have been used (as you can see in the code itself).

Anyway, we hope the map helps some of you and maybe some of you help (the development of) the map.
