Constant crashing in 2.0 after several minutes only with Alliance AI enabled

[tdauth]

Fix the AI scripts or building pathings. Maybe the new portals cause the crash for the Alliance AI.

[tdauth]

After defeating the alliance it crashed after like 30 minutes.

[tdauth]

Find a tool which can analyze replays for the final actions in the replay. The action before the crash might have caused it.

After around 30 minutes, purple was attacking King Deepbeard. Maybe it is some timer after 30 minutes?

[tdauth]

Maybe it is the Statue of Azshara. When I revealed the whole map it was casting constantly to The Burning Legion.

[tdauth]

Not the special buildings. I tested both.

[tdauth]

Got the crash with both special players enabled after 24:40 minutes with warpten cheat. Maybe it is some attack wave. Other player wrote on Discord after 20 minutes.

[tdauth]

Murgol Reaver hat AImove commands shortly before the crash.

Finger of Death Eredar Sorcerer on Goldmine and after that and 851974 on eredar sorcerer.

[tdauth]

Maybe:

• SetRandomPaths

or the final attack wave of The Alliance:

        call CampaignAttackerEx( 4, 4, 4, BLOOD_ELF_WAGON )
        call CampaignAttackerEx( 4, 4, 4, BLOOD_ELF_BALLISTA )
        call CampaignAttackerEx( 4, 4, 4, BLOOD_ELF_CAGE )

but Blood Elf AI had that before. Maybe just disable random paths. Maybe some timer after 20-30 minutes.

[tdauth]

Maybe we can read the core dump on windows with something like the gdb: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8305866/how-do-i-analyze-a-programs-core-dump-file-with-gdb-when-it-has-command-line-pa https://www.digitalcitizen.life/view-contents-dump-file/

Check all AI related changes since 1.9.9:

• Reduce the number of air units and increase the number of ground units for Demon/TBL AIs.
• Add new building type Research Tent with all the important researches from tier 3 buildings for all races.
• Reduce Demon Housing model scale to make build area visible.

• Fix respawning The Alliance AI at the correct start location.
• Add fixed Computer player Gaia who provides some units on the map which can be rescued.

Maybe it really is the Research Tent. I used the Special Buildings without crashes but when AI uses it it might be different! Compare both AI scripts with their old versions.

[tdauth]

• Maybe check all pathings of Goblin Buildings anyway since it might lead to crashes in some strange way.
• Play one fast game with many AIs and disable Water Portals.

[tdauth]

Not the Water Portals! I removed them in the beginning: Still a crash!

[tdauth]

Maybe picking a second/third hero. Maybe the AI players think they can pick another hero and it crashes?

[tdauth]

Disabling research tent did not help. Maybe some portals have the wrong target rect and lead to endless paths or incorrect pathing textures/no pathing textures for Goblin buildings in general.

[tdauth]

The portals are all connected. What about reviving dead AI heroes in Altars?

[tdauth]

The Goblin Town Hall was chosen as Altar to revive a hero! However, there was none for The Burning Legion or The Alliance.

[tdauth]

Item Crafting for AI was enabled for The Alliance.

[tdauth]

Exclude Gaia everywhere!

[tdauth]

No Crash for 40 minutes without Burning Legion and The Alliance.

See https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/list-of-warcraft-iii-crashes.194706/ Do we use the Orb ability for Attack Ground? Forked Lightning with 0 as its Stats - Area of Effect will freeze the game. for the Naga hero?

[tdauth]

Crashes again without Burning Legion etc. Maybe some raw codes are wrong (Research Tent, Research Tent upgrades, Freelancer AI!!!).

[tdauth]

Changes in the Freelancer AI script (only hero abilities not hero ids):

and

call SetBuildUpgr( 1000, UPG_CHEAP_EVOLUTION )

[tdauth]

Apparently The Allianced caused the crashes.

[tdauth]

The Alliance AI script had the Power Generator twice in it.

[tdauth]

Compare to https://github.com/tdauth/wowr/blob/b3195a497a2a65bd4abfb6bd44fbfef881899dc2/ai/TheAlliance.ai or the second after this one. It did not crash here. Now it is crashing again.

[tdauth]

Closed because of #1690.
