ARGH!
After spending my entire day trying to find out why my map crashes during the very last section of loading, I have narrowed it down to the abilities in the map.
Specifically, morph abilities.
I'm trying to make buildings upgrade to other buildings using a morph ability, which I duplicated from command center > orbital command.
I have about 12 of these morph upgrades, 3 of which are stopping the map from loading, even though they are all exactly the same except for the button and the unit that they morph into.
So if I delete those 3 abilities OR the units those abilities upgrade into, I can load the map.
But the problem doesn't seem to be in the units.
Lets say one the 3 morph abilites upgrade building A into > building B.
If I delete building B, I can load the map fine with the morph abilites still intact.
If I remove the upgrade button from building A, the map also loads.
If I delete the ability itself the map loads.
If I change the ability of building A from one of the 3 that don't work to one of the other 7 that do work, then the map loads.
If I keep the ability on building A but change the button and the unit that it morphs into it still doesn't work.
I've also tried changing the name and ID of the ability.
I would just make the ablities again, I can change building A to have a different morph ability but if I try copy that working morph ability or make a new oneand use that instead it won't work!
It seems these people are having the same problem.

Is there a maximum number of abilities or morph abilities or something!?! WTF is going on?
I really don't want to ditch this map as I've spent SOOOO much time on it and probably even MORE time troubleshooting this!! >.<
Thanks.
