After hard work developing PleaseBugMeNot have released new version of DotA AI based on DotA v6.72f code named "NIGHTMARE".
This version comes with over 200 changes.

NIGHTMARE ... massive official map changes, too many broken skills, too many systems completely rewritten, too much caffeine, too many new AI heroes added... This map was an equal nightmare and a new hope for a better times. We should all thank the AITeam and Cloud_str for devoting those months so you all can enjoy that fine map. In some words the biggest changes are: -captains mode active (AI will pick and ban), all heroes got AI now, completely rewritten defense mechanism, item buying system, new gank system and so many other changes... that you`ll have to read the whole changelog to find them.. although many of the changes are invisible for you but they are in the code.. believe me And again: thank Cloud_str for all that as i was away most of the time and the AITeam testers who endured all those painful testing hours! They deserve it!

- Up till now, these items are the one creating error messages for Huskar, Axe, and Nevermore, as these heroes have buggy build which doesn't allow the buffered items to return (full inventory).
- The current error report will show which items are on error: CORE or BUFFER. BUFFER error is and will be handled by selling the items. However, BUFFER error MUST not disturb AI normal build.

Warcraft 3 Mac OS X 10.7 Support

2011-08-06T18:03:00.000+02:00

Apple recently released OS X 10.7 because changes in OS X 10.7 StarCraft, StarCraft: Brood War, Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction don't work anymore on OS X 10.7

Also you may have problems with Warcraft 3.

Blizzard have posted this for OS X 10.7 Support:

This summer, Apple is scheduled to release Mac OS X 10.7, Lion. Due to certain changes in the Mac operating system, StarCraft, StarCraft: Brood War, Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction will not run on Mac OS X 10.7. While these titles should still technically be able to operate under Boot Camp, we will not be able to provide support for these titles running on Mac OS X 10.7. For more information about Mac Boot Camp, please see Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ We will continue to offer support for these titles running on Mac OS X 10.6 and below.
At this time, we expect Warcraft III to run on Mac OS X 10.7. However, the updater that we use to apply patches does not work on Mac OS X 10.7 natively, so while a patched-up version of the game will work, you will be unable to patch up to the latest version of the game when running Mac OS X 10.7. We don't currently have a timeline available for when we may be able to release updated patches with a compatible Updater program.
We’ll have more details for our Mac community as Lion's release date draws nearer.
For more information about Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, please see Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/macosx/lion/ For more information about Mac Boot Camp, please see Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Dota-Allstars 6.71b AI Map Released - Download

2011-06-27T14:23:00.000+02:00

PBMN have released now DotA AI version based on DotA 6.71b code name: "VENGEANCE".

This version brings a new dynamic Exp/Gold mechanic for the AI heroes

Changelogs:

1. New Dynamic Exp/Dynamic Gold mode. Here are some explanations how it works:
AI have bonus rate in XP and GOLD. Human rate is 100% XP and 1 GOLD / 0.875s (8G / 7s). AI rate is higher than that.

So, when AI hero kills, he gets -15% xp, and -4G/7s (from current bonus rate) and if the current rate is higher than the starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero dies, he gets + 15% xp, and +4G/7s (to current bonus rate), if current rate is lower than starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero gets an assist, he gets -7% xp and -2G/7s (from current bonus rate)

Min rate for AI is human rate (it won't get lower than that), there is no max rate

2. Two new sections in the scoreboard showing the current AI XP and GOLD rate. There might be up to 2.5s delay in scoreboard update for the rate

3. De/Dg mode is enabled by default, unless ne/ng is enabled

4. Various internal fixes. The big job for fixing the broken AI for 6.72 will begin soon.

FAQ:
Q: The maphack says it couldn’t patch into Warcraft’s memory, what’s wrong? QQ
A: There are several solutions for this.
1 – You are using Windows Vista/7, run it as administrator.
2 – You are using Garena, you have to patch garena before you start the game to make it work.
3 – You are having an ATI video card, update your driver. If it still doesn’t work, your problem, sir.

Why Is My Warcraft 3 Crashing?

2011-05-21T01:50:00.001+02:00

I found this very interesting forum post thats explains why is your game crashing and showing error.

- Actived Hacking/Cheating Programs/Tools e.g Maphack, Other war3 hacks
A hacking tool such as maphack, last hit hack and any other hacking tools for war3 can give you fatal errors ! So stop using any hacks as they are childish play.

- Bad Drivers
Update your video card when new drivers come out. Go to your manufacturer's website to download the latest. For ATI, its Catalyst. For nVidia it's Forceware. Just remember you need a 32 bit version of Windows XP or Vista or 2000 to operate these drivers properly. There are no real 64 Bit ones yet, and your drivers will fail to install on a 64 bit machine.

- Insufficient or Ineffective RAM
Get more RAM, make sure its of the right frequency so it doesnt lead to incompatibility. Eg. If you can support DDR 400, then get them both at DDR400 and have the same voltage. You will need to look at the sticker that comes on the RAM and break down the format to extract this information.

If you think it's a certian stick of RAM and you have more than 1, take out one, and run Warcraft III. Then repeat for your other RAM. If one stick is causing the crash, then replace it with one that works. If it's 1, then you will need to replace it. The best way to detect this problem is checking your crash logs and looking for the memory address that crashed. You can also install and run MemTest86 to find out which addresses aren't complying and which ones are.

- Motherboard Conflicts
This is one nasty mother ****er. You would need to either update your current drivers. Or even go as far as Flashing a new BIOS (requires reinstall and hopes that it doesnt crash in reinstallation). Or even to disect your computer and install a new motherboard (4-5 hrs. you dont want to do). This is a rare occurance, I have never seen a Motherboard conflict, unless you did something stupid like drop a magnet on it or broke a piece of it.

- PSU not strong enough (STRONG POSSIBILITY)
This is the most common problem that is often overlooked. It happened to me when I owned a JGE 300W PSU before I got it replaced. It wasn't passing enough volts through the 12V Line (15A). Open your case, and look at your PSU label for the 12V line(not colour, the AMPS). If the number is below 20-22A, then you need to get it replaced. Its not sending a powerful enough current through the motherboard to power everything! For watts, aim towards 450+ to your PSU. However, brand will determine how AWESOME it is. Get a well known name brand (Antec for example), otherwise the PSU could fry or explode if the parts are cheap or defective (we can't have that). Plus, some brands don't have good warranties, so you cannot get a proper replacement should anything happen to it.

- Your running 3D sound with a card that doesnt support it (makes a different error message)
This will make a different error message. Saying that the mp3 was failed to initialize. Users running a RealTek Audio chipset will have to turn off 3d sound to avoid this problem. If your sound card/chipset supports it, then you are safe and can turn it on. I recommend Sound Blaster Audigy or X-Fi to operate 3D Sound.

- You have anti-aliasing on (wc3 hates this feature, water.blp doesnt load right)
This was a bad issue back when ATI Catalyst was around 4.5-4.8. Anti-aliasing was always on and Warcraft III is a real prick when dealing with Anti-aliasing, mostly because the water models wouldnt be able to work properly. Find a way to turn it off, or install 4.10+ (anti-aliasing wasnt on default in those versions).

- You're running openGL (remove -opengl tag) from Properties
If you right click on your shortcut and select Properties, you'll find where your shortcut is running to. Look at the end of it, for the -openGL tag. This shouldn't be here. We live in a world of Direct3D now. The only purpose OpenGL servers is probably playing Unreal Tournament 1999 and Doom II, since these games actually looked better in OpenGL than Direct3D. Other games may not take OpenGL kindly.

- Virus (STRONG)
You could have a virus that is plaguing your system. You can run an anti-virus scan or reformat your hard disk. Reformating clears everything (requiring Windows reinstall) but you will have nuked the viruses. Use Norton (if you want a virus within itself) or AVG (it's free), Proxomitron or Spybot to keep these threats neutralized.

- Too Many programs running at once (STRONG)
Control Alt Delete > Close off any programs that you don't want running. To free up physical memory so your RAM doesn't overload and close Warcraft III. The only situation this is a problem is with programs that conflict with each other or if you blew your Virtual Memory cache (The portion of the Hard Drive that writes page files should you inflate your RAM).

- Models could be rendered incorrectly (updates and fixes, custom models)
Not really a common problem, was in DOTA!!! Some custom models may have not been done incorrectly and the game will crash. Not much you can do, update your game and use models that work properly for best effects.

- DRAM Voltage TOO LOW!!
Another problem, it requires you to tamper with your BIOS settings. Load up the BIOS the way would do it. Then find the option called DRAM Voltage (should be in Power Management). Set it to the maximum value. If your BIOS warns you about it being unsafe, just do it anyways. Be sure your PSU can take the heat.

- AGP Aperture Size
The value of this must be half of what your video card is (Eg. if its 256MB, then set Aperture to 128MB, and so on). If you use the full value, your card will stop working properly! By default, the Aperture of the card is usually set to Auto, which adjusts based on the card installed.

- Fast Writes and XAGP
My old Windows XP machine usually had this at 4x and Fast Writes on. If your computer can support it, go 8x and Fast Writes. However, your motherboard needs to have the feature. BIOS has an option called AGP Fast Writes within it, it must be enabled to work properly. Check your motherboard specs to make sure you know what the limits are.

- Overheating
If parts get too hot, they will stop functioning properly. Use better fans or cooling systems to operate these parts and keep them cooled. It can also help to open your case to regulate hot air. Just make sure you keep the open side away from your feet, your dog or whatever. I recommend you only open the case when you want to install new parts.

- Internal Engine issues:
This happens to me in The last Sylvannas mission and the older versions of DOTA. It could preform an operation that the system really hates. Wait until future versions of the map come, it could solve the problem about whats happening. For me, this also happens sometimes when I cast Storm, Earth and Fire in Melee or when I transition a hero unit to something like a bear or a storm crow (hero > unit or unit > hero by skill, not trigger). As patches go on, some of these bugs are corrected.

- CD Cracks (for you warez boys out there )
You most likely have a CD key or an illegal burned copy that needs libraries or certain files that would appreciate it if you had the real version. Do us all a favor and buy the REAL expansion, reinstall Wc3, and that should fix your problem.

If you decide to reinstall Wc3, keep your maps you want to keep in a seperate folder so you can copy them to the map folder later. The only reason you may want to reinstall is if you reformat your Hard Drive.

If you need any further questions, PM me or contact me on MSN. If you do so in a inpolite way, have had the problem only occur once or rarely; I will NOT! answer you back, I may even block you. I want to help, but I am a busy person sometimes and I don't appreciate getting **** yous or *******s when I want to explain how to fix your motherboard problems.

A custom kick tool allows for the host of a game to kick other players out of the game.
This is useful for teamkillers, dropping laggers, etc

What makes it different from other custom kick tools? The incredible 9 KB file size. Compared to a 4000 KB VCK.

TinyKick also has a very light-weight memory profile thus allowing it to run on weaker computers.
You will not get banned if you use this tool because it does not modify any memory.

Commands (To be typed in the WC3 chat in-game):
/kick playerName - disconnects a player from the game
/exit - closes the TinyKick process
