New Patch incoming! 1.29

1.29.1 is out.

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/bnet/topic/20762157875?page=1

Hosting HnA with bots no longer works. When game loaded result is autokick at 0:00 time. I have tested with the old fashion way hosting. Game worked, but old dope map is 1MB bigger, than the map that we tested. Its up to you guys to decide which map should we play. I prefer the one with the lowest map size. Reduces the map size and loading. When we test it me and balvan there wasn't any bugs, well except the old know fps drops bug with massive units.

Damn, I can't join any custom games. It lags (can't even join lobby, just everything becomes grey) and then game crashes (OS X). I'll try Windows 7 tomorrow.

What kind of changes did you do to reduce the size?

Ah, it is known issue:

Joining a custom game on Mac will result in a crash

Hope, they'll fix it soon.

Also, guys, may I ask you to save all the replays after games? I'll upload them on heroesandarmies.com later.

Will save replays. But Mac gives lots of bugs. Use Windows Instead. As for changes. I haven't done anything. Just from unprotected map I made it protected by using this tool. Everything on the left side was checked and reduced the map load speed and size up to 1mb. The old unprotected version of HnA that you post it long ago has many object data bugs and me and balvan test it the original, but we couldn't load the map. So I used this tool and the map was working fine. There are no changes to the map.

Everything remain the same. I hope you make it for Saturday Daniel. Map Version is still 3.05a or 3.05b(not sure which) but the fact is that it was working. Also I suggest to not use replays else new patch coming with fixes. Replays cannot be watched again. Instead a Video Record can be nice. The War3 version switcher doesn't seems to support roll back patches from 1.29

Erm, unprotected map is never intended for production purposes. You always should use protected versions from http://heroesandarmies.com.
Unprotected version is just dev version for editing in World Editor.

Yeah, that's sad. But I remember tool which may "hack" wc3.exe into different versions and make possible to replay older ones. Not sure if it works nowadays.

Looks like it doesn't work anymore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPaw59too30
In order to see old replays from heroesandarmies.com we need to obtain old installer/patch or whole old Warcraft 3 folder.
Now it's bunch of events and chat messages...

Previous patch we tested the game. Towers we're attacking neutral buildings near fountains, and you couldn't sell items to the shops because they we're hostile. Today I've tested it and it was working again, but like I already said you guys should decide which version you wanna play. Suits me fine whenever version.

P.S If you wanna see old replays from past years just give me the replay files. I made one video about Phnx vs Argo on the off topic. But I couldn't get the previous map of the first round. The map was gone it was never been uploaded anywhere.

Can you upload fixed version somewhere?

I can. But i'm at work at this moment. Tomorrow I will also Balvan and Motion have it. Me and Balvan played up to 30-35 min there wasn't single bug except fps lag due massive army units.

Players will be confused Why not open a new topic with title Download Fixed Map. Players who joins on the site can download it easily. I cannot use Download I changes topic, but Imba could I guess.

They don't have to, after joining the lobby with unknown map, WC3 downloads it, or what do you mean?
Ofc, we will increase map version.

The fixed version is just needed for me to find out reasons of new bugs.

Never mind. But sure will upload it. Problem is you can't open it cause its protected. The tool protects the map after you check the options listed

Daniel you need use some uninstall free tool like Revo to completely remove Warcraft from computer and leftovers in regedit, then you download installation from blizzard and worked just fine, i got storm.dll error when updated to 1.29.


HERE IS UPLOADED MAP THAT EDDIE FIXED:

I'm confused: last version from heroesandarmies.com works fine as well? Do we need "fixed" one?
(don't forget to download production maps, not dev ones!)

EddieBG wrote:Yes its work. I test it was working fine. However I prefer not to use the vote commands like all random or all pick. Well like I said 3.05b(protected map which was long time ago uploaded to makemehost.com from Warcraft III download folder) was bugged when we test it with motion and balvan 2 times.

First test was with bot. Towers was attacking neutral buildings(shops)and items was impossible to sell to the shops. You could only buy but not sell. The second test was with player hosting. The same bugs appeared. Then we tried opened map which couldn't load due lots of messy things due object editor. Once I used the tool and optimize load speed and lock the map game worked fine and we played like 30 minutes+

P.S. 3.09 was working for me, but I only test it like 5-8 minutes. Perhaps it works.

We tested it on 1.29.0, the patch 1.29.1 came after that testing.
