I have created half of a bound, but for some reason, I keep getting a message that an error occured while hosting the game.
If any other info is needed, I'll try to supply it.

Rename the map to have just letters and numbers, no special characters.

Make sure you have start locations for every player that has a unit in the game, make sure you have no humans in the same force as computer [it usually lets you do this, but for good measure ^^].

And is it before you host, or during the actual game in the lobby/breif/start of map?

Every player including computers, even if there is 1 unit or even 1 trigger to create a unit for that player, need a start location or else you can't host. if you want them to have units. You need two to host. <--- Devourer.

So it worked?
Bullshit.
All you need are at least 2 start locations. Players/computers with units on the map but no start-location will just not shown up (neither the units will exist ingame).
And when you create units for not-existing players they will be created, unallied to all players.

but technically they will not be anything, you can't remove them by removing a player's units. And yes you need start locations for EVERY player that has preplaced units, or else starcraft won't let you host it at all. Try it, if it works, then send me a screenshot of the editor and you in game, then send me the map and I'll try it.

Several ultralisks for players not existing. They are removed but you can host.

That's not what I meant, those players are HUMAN, ofcourse they won't show up, they won't be filled in or be able to be filled in at all. If they were computer, it wouldn't work! >:( Try it with computers, since computer slots are filled it, they can't just not be there. You cheated.

I should've said COMPUTERS need SL's and so do all HUMANS who are used as slots to play.

You should start making sure before posting bullshit: it's the same when that player is a computer. You can start the game although the start-location is missing.

Seriously, are you kidding us/me? This is just working fine.
Stop posting wrong information or mods probably will start deleting your post.

This is not meant to be an offense post, it's more an advice.

I'm not kidding you, like I said, it overwrote. Fixed the last post.
