Damaged Map > Strange

I made a map, a quite simple map also. Strangly, when i tried to test it, it gets about 3/4 loaded and then wc3 crashes, and a FATAL ERROR comes up.

Last thing i did was in preferences, camera bounds, you think that did anything to mess it?

What are some things that could have caused this?

This belongs in the General Development. Moved.

I don't know what might be the cause, have you tried to undo your camera bounds changes to see if that was the cause?

triggers, wierd object editor data (minimum value greater then maxium value, negative values in some areas) infinit loops, massive terrain file corruption, too manny custom files

and more! could any of these apply?

hmmm, what you mean by infinate loops, and massive terrian corruption?

terrain corruption as in the terrain file in the map archive is damamged

an infinite loop is a loop that never stops repeating.

But it might not be, got any other ideas?

could be any corruption, but i find terrain files like to get corrupted the most often (If you can still open / save it in the world editor, then it is NOT corruption)

may just be a trigger that causes the crash. Triggers are the most likely things to cause crashes.

I figured it out, it was because i had units placed outside camera bounds

WC3 dosent like abnormal things like that. If you cant do it without using a "trick" of some kind, then it may crash WC3. Dont place starting locations out of bounds ither.
