A bit hard to understand you, but what version were you playing? If it was the auto-hosted `4.0kn`, then if the player in the `Red` slot was AFK the game will remain paused until he selects the settings. If he does not come back, you will have to close Warcraft 3. That is a bug and is fixed in Gem TD+.

@Faithgr

I looked at the replays for these two games you played where you said you were 'stuck':

I have no clue what happened. By 'stuck' do you mean you could not move the mouse? You could type, though? How did you exit the game?

Regardless, both those games were with the older `4.0kn` version. But yeah, if you run into the same issue, let me know.

After running into @Faithgr in-game and having him encounter the exact bug he was trying to explain, I have a better idea of what the issue is. Essentially his ability to select has been disabled for some reason. A bit of research shows that this happens in numerous maps, and has happened over many years. As for the cause I have not been able to pin that down. It is possible that it is just a lurking Warcraft 3 bug that shows up for some reason.

I have opened this issue for anyone wanting to keep an eye on this bug's progress. My initial thinking is that some sort of keyboard command will be needed.

Edit: The cause of the bug is unknown. I don't even know if it is something I can fix. It seems to affect certain players more often than others.

Like I said, I have no clue what is causing the problem with being 'stuck' for you. We tested what I was hoping would fix the problem, but it didn't. You did mention you have a pirated copy of Warcraft III. That may have something to do with it, I don't know. It is possible I may fix the bug by rewriting parts of the map. But without knowing the cause, that's a shot in the dark. The best you can do right now is post a link to the replay of each game where this bug happens to you, mentioning the time when it happens.

As far as range check, I have not touched any of that code. So you're running into an old bug. I'll look into that one. A replay would be appreciated, though.

When the range check issue does occur, on what gem/slates is it happening?

@Faithgr

That's not a replay. That's a save file. But it's good to know the issue goes away after loading the game from a save.

Replays have the file extension '.w3g', and are in your 'replay' folder in the Warcraft 3 directory. The last game played will have a replay called 'LastReplay.w3g', even if you did not save it.

Edit: I think I figured out the bug. It's a rare and old Warcraft 3 bug that involves clicking a dialog window button multiple times (in order words, the Extra Chance window in Gem). Why this happens, I cannot say. Perhaps lag, or something else. Anyways, user control (via the mouse) gets removed. I'm testing now to see if I can prevent this, or if anything can restore control.

I save the replay and i just get it from the file, you can put it in your wc3 files and just open it, i think it works.
