Custom Map Crash - most likely invalid Card Id spawn

[Kaldra]

I tried to play my old map "Random Unit" today. Everything worked for quite some time, but then a crash occured for all players.

My guess is, that it tried to spawn a unit for which the id isnt valid anymore.

How can I find out, if that is indeed the case and what changed with the ids?

According to the mapscript, those unit ids are used:

local unit_id = {255, 287, 289, 290, 302, 304, 364, 374, 379, 380, 386, 387, 388, 402, 405, 407, 408, 413, 414, 415, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 426, 431, 434, 443, 444, 507, 526, 527, 529, 534, 548, 549, 550, 552, 560, 561, 562, 563, 564, 661, 664, 677, 682, 683, 703, 707, 708, 709, 718, 719, 720, 778, 784, 786, 1021, 1029, 1030, 1031, 1032, 1033, 1034, 1035, 1117, 1119, 1120, 1124, 1128, 1171, 1183, 1193, 1194, 1195, 1196, 1198, 1199, 1200, 1201, 1202, 1203, 1219, 1220, 1225, 1226, 1227, 1228, 1235, 1238, 1289, 1240, 1262, 1263, 1264, 1265, 1267, 1274, 1275, 1276, 1277, 1278, 1279, 1286, 1293, 1296, 1297, 1299, 1300, 1316, 1317, 1318, 1319, 1325, 1327, 1330, 1331, 1333, 1624, 1544, 1343, 1344, 1345, 1346, 1347, 1348, 1361, 1375, 1382, 1385, 1391, 1409, 1410, 1411, 1413, 1414, 1415, 1428, 1429, 1416, 1434, 1436, 1438, 1442, 1443, 1449, 1450, 1451, 1465, 1472, 1474, 1477, 1482, 1484, 1487, 1489, 1505, 1531, 1532, 1533, 1538, 1540, 1544, 1545, 1555, 1558, 1561, 1562, 1563, 1564, 1565, 1567, 1573, 1574, 1585, 1607, 1624}

afaik only the id of fire sphere was changed (in fact duplicated so the old and the new one continue to work)

Hmmm...then I don’t see why it would crash. The map only spawns units by card id. Nothing else.

And it was playable for quite some time before it crashed, right when a new unit should’ve been spawned.

Hm perhaps in the process of doing the changes for the first balancing change, an accidential other change happened and a card did in fact change, but then I guess u have to make a custom map and spawn units with these ids one by another, this should make it possible to identify the rogue id.

@Kaldra Is this still an issue? I checked and in your list ID 1289 does not seem to exist. It is neither present in the old EA database (from 2013), nor is it in ours.

Aside from that, another thing that (might) cause issues is that you use the base id for promo cards instead of their U2 version? (2001021, 2001029, 2001030, 2001031, 2001032, 2001033, 2001034, 2001035, 2001607)
