I am making a map and about 30 seconds after it starts this weird sounds starts repeating and doesn't stop.
Here is a video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlLadl1Ua-0 (starts at 11 seconds).
Somebody please tell me what this means.

Transmission I think. If you mess around with the sound editor in scm draft II you can find out which it is. I'll do that, one sec.

I don't have any trasmission triggers or play WAV triggers :(

sound\misc\Trescue.wav is the sound file. Sound occurs when something is rescued. Do you have a player set to rescuable?

by the way hi, it's integral from TL.

Hi! No rescuable players, but I think I figured it out. It happens when you try to give a lot of order commands to many units at once inside a really short timeframe (say 10 trigger cycles). I guess it's some kind of protection against overloading the pathfinder.

Weird, never heard of a sound playing from giving too many orders. Orders are pretty nasty in terms of coding by the way, there is an order limit and you can actually block input from human players by issuing a ton of orders. Maybe that's why there's a sound.

I see you !

Could just as well be a buffer overflow in the command queue...

It turned out to be a glitch in the map itself. Even without any triggers this still happens.

Ok, so to confirm I'm not going crazy somebody please test this out. I made a brand new map in scmdraft, no triggers or anything and the issue still happens tho admittedly after 2-3 minutes instead of 15 seconds.

https://github.com/AlexanderDzhoganov/scx/blob/master/map_glitched.scx?raw=true

Here are links to both my first glitched map and the new one I made that I can also reproduce the issue on.

EDIT: Okay what the fuck (you're allowed to swear here I hope) I just started an old UMS map I played a week ago without issue and have the same problem on it. Reinstalling the game and will report back.

I played a map_glitched.scx in multiplayer for 3 minutes and nothing bad happened for me :unsure: (Win 7, SC 1.18).



Some.

Confirmed. After reinstall the issue seems to be gone. It seems the latest patch from a few days ago messed something up for me.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
