Galaxy Editor Epic Fail !!!

[Robbepop]

hiho,

today i just wanted to go on developing my RPG map.
after i finished my new system for the target window i noticed a new epic fail of the editor...

as you can see im slightly above the 2mb limit of the new and "great" editor.

and this is the result of it...

i can still save my map.
but as long as the non-compressed value of the triggers is above the 2mb limit i can not play it.
this is very sad if you think about the fact that blizzard said that we are able to have more than tousand triggers in a map without any problems.
as you can see in the first screenshot i have exactly 21 triggers while about 9 or 10 are not active!

as long as blizzard does not fix this really extreme epic fail i won't go on develop any other maps.
with the current limit i would not be even able to make small maps like line tower wars or something like that!!

Restrictions for a beta version?

lets hope so. I wont buy SC2 until they release some kind of support for modeling. Importing and exporting.

It never said that the limit is 2mb..
I have 1.26mb (not compressed) of triggers, and i still get the very same problem.
Another thing i should mention is that this happened the MINUTE after i installed the new patch yesterday. And every time i try to load a map i get an error telling me that it cant read the map info or something like that. This is probably a bug with the new patch and does not have anything to do with limits.

i talked with robbe today and it seems like it was the map description, not the limit. there seems to be some bug since 12.

i have 2.4mb of triggers and can play.

It's the core player array. If you're using all 16 players, the map will fuck up. It's a bug introduced by the patch.

 

[CloudMax]

Yes. Infact, that map started to work for me after that i fixed player settings. Becouse after the patch, everytime i loaded a map with 16 players, it reseted the settings.

So no, it is not a Galaxy Editor Epic Fail, it is an Epic Fail on blizzards part.

Then again, it isn't an epic fail since there is a clear distinction between fail and epic fail.

An epic fail would be to patch this error into the release candidate.

IMO SC2 should be delayed.

So there is actually no limit?

Well, we have not found a limit yet, so if there is one, it will obviously let us have alot of stuff in maps anyway.

 

[Tleno]

If there was no limit in WE, I doubt if there will be any in GE.

 

[Mille25]

there IS a limit in the GE, its proven and can be easily reproduced by creating large 4 dimensional arrays.

but in this case it wasnt the limit, but some bug of patch 12, that seems to corrupt the map if you use more then 12 players or smth.

Probably it will be much higher when actual game is released.

hiho,

back from avatar.^^ (entering reality xD)

yeah it seemed for me that it was the 2mb limit which gex once wrote about
because i reached it with a new system, saved, tested and got the bug...

well the 2 new bugs are also very strange.
as you said you can not have more than 12 active players (even if they are computer players!) and i have to reset the loading screen - otherwise i can not start the map. :-(

Uhmm.. Why the heck can i have 15 players then? :O And it have worked for all my friends aswell :S I just had to disable player 15, then it worked.

considering the fact that people upload maps to the server before they host them, plus download from the server before joining. it isnt sure if there is a limit.

How is that related to the thread? If you test a map through the editor you play offline, and this happened offline.
And what limit are you talking about? The file size limit? Becouse there is one. You cant upload maps that is to big.

 

[Earendil]

Hi. Now that the game is released, what's the limit for total trigger file size allowed?
