Okay there's a bug for mac users that occurs for certain maps that makes them not able to load it in multiplayer, or on Bnet. Everybone else loads, except for them. Their progress bar doesn't even go forward. This is happening with my map and I'd like to know how to get rid of it. Does anybody know what the cause of this is and how to fix it? |

I had what sounds like a similar problem, wherein a fellow on my LAN with a Mac sometimes was defeated as soon as the map loading finished (anticlimactic, to say the least). Likewise, when he hosted, it sometimes defeated the Windowsers. Thus far I've been advised to change some triggers to not detect whether a player "Is Playing" during Map Init. I'm going to change those triggers to Time Elapsed 0.00 and see what happens. Are you running a Map Init trigger? If so, what's in it? |

*Points at Ultra's post* I am a Mac user suffering from that problem, actually was a tester for his map, cept I can't play it :P. Anyway, what happens is during loading, it hangs at about 1/4 done (Shortly before the L) After that, it continues loading, though nobody else's 'ready' bar lights up (And you appear the same to everyone else). After it is 'done' loading, it drops you instantly and brings you straight to the score screen. It isn't a firewall, as I have tested it outside one. It's something during Map Init, but trying what you just suggested didn't work :( Not all maps do it, but many do. |

Can I see the map init trigger here? |

Last night though I changed all my init triggers to game-time is 0.02 and he still couldn't load. I have no idea what's going here, but here's the trigger Code:

Virtually the only functions we share are Pick Every Player, Set Variable, and Turn Gives Bounty On. What about Imported files? Which ones are you using? |
| 09-16-2003, 11:02 PM | #7 |
bunch of different things. There's an slk, a whole lot of blp files, txts, and 1 or 3 mdl files, beyond that nothing really funky. |
| 09-16-2003, 11:53 PM | #8 |
Perhaps it's the .slk or the .txt's that's causing our somewhat similar problems? Try removing the .txt's. I don't have any .slk's currently added to my map, so I don't think that'll will play in. If it is a problem with an imported file type being recognized differently, that's sort of an annoyance. Can anyone else weigh in with an opinion here? |

I removed all the .txt files from my map, and I took out virtually all the Map Init triggers. It doesn't seem to be related to either of those, since it still seems to randomly drop him at the end of the map load. This is most frustrating. While not a Mac user myself, I recognize that Warcraft 3 has a not insubstantial Mac following. Blizzard's one of the companies that's good about releasing games in multiple platforms. There's bound to be a way to resolve this problem, but I don't know what it is. I can't think of anything else that matches the data presented here. It's presumably something that comes into play as a result of something that happens when the map loads. If it's not imported data files or Map Init triggers, I can't think of anything that specifically fits into that niche. |

Easy solution - Buy a non-Macincrap PC. |

HMm I have a mac too and I have never had any problems with this (although there is a very long time since I even started wc3 on it, since I bought a PC for playing). It seems very weird. Do you have Classic or OS X? |
