First of all thank you for this map, Cube TD will always be one of the best TD-maps ever.

Although the memory leak "bug" is frustrating it is still interesting to play with it as sort of a handicap. Mazes with a rather limited amount of towers will most likely never enter the "invisible mode" and even then you can still try to finish the remaining levels as long as you don't have to build new towers (selling a tower and building an new one during wave-transitions has a good chance that the new tower can be seen and selected for a sufficient period of time). You can select and upgrade towers that already existed, but they will become "invisible" after the upgrade, so the best way to do multiple upgrades on different towers is to put them into control groups to be able to reselect them later on (helped me during the last 3 waves to beat "insane").

One thing I noticed is that the towers seem to have no priority system. Usually I would expect them to choose the target with the shortest remaining distance to the cube or in dependency of the remaining health. Instead the player may choose targets manually being able to do a little micro management. Is this intentional? Why can't one stop the towers from firing then?

I am also a bit curious about the "hybrids" and the "supply depots" (I think they are waves 6 and 7). Of course hybrids are the badass mobs of SC2 but why do they have 500 more hp than the depots even if thy come before them? ;)

Some minor issue I encountered was that mobs took strange paths. They were walking a straight line until I built a tower next to that line (not blocking their way or altering the pathlength etc.) and they chose to walk around this tower. Could it be that walking not exactly horizontally is as fast?

Just my 2 cents

Hi...I have reached stage 29 a number of times but it never happened to me.This one time when I made that "Perfect maze" its happening everytime on stage 27.I have tried quitting SC editor and starting again from the last save but it happens everytime.So the theory that it happens when the game has been played for long time is incorrect.I uploaded my save file ....use it to recreate it.Hope it helps

I'm very new to the SC2 map editor but after a few tests I can confirm that there appears to be a memory leak. After playing around with a few of the triggers I saw that I was only having memory increases during the spawning of adds, which would continue to rise with each new wave. If I just had a single wave spawn with no following waves the leak would occur during the wave and stop as soon as the wave was killed off.

Again, I don't know enough about the editor to be of too much help but it looks like the leak may be occurring when the spawnwave trigger is called.

Hope this can help.

let me know what you want tested and I will look into it for you

Thanks for the update. I notice you forgot to remove the slow effect of the roach though (now that its a normal tower ;)

The dreaded invisible bug seems to happen for me even in single player using the map editor "Test Map" option (round 21 this time). I have a save file of the invisible bug that i can send over if it will help you at all?

Edit: Also, how about removing all bullets (like the rockets of the first turrets)... just to see if its the huge amount of models and particles being generated causing it.

I believe the invisible bug happens when a certain amount of buildings are made, I find if 3/4 or more players are still in it starts happening around wave 18. If theres 2 players anywhere from wave 20 onwards depending on how many buildings we are using to maze.

I'll start by saying thanks for this map, I'm glad to see a mazing TD work its way into SC2. :)

On to the feedback/bug reports. First off, you probably know about this by now, but pretty frequently I find myself being unfairly defeated (in solo mode) when someone else lets a mob through, even when I don't leak.

Also, about 90% of the time I'll experience "invisible TD" mode (AKA, "this weirdness" :P) if I make it past wave 26 or so. This even happens if I'm alone in the game. It typically hits me between wave 27 and 29 or so, often in the middle of a wave. I'll try to pay closer attention to my activities at the time it happens it from this point on, though I'll say it doesn't seem exclusively tied to building/upgrading.

Also, the other day, wave 14 (zerg cocoons) decided to obliterate a section of my maze at the third waypoint, even though there was definitely a 1-space gap (the entrance and exit were the same gap). Wave 14 seems to have funny collision, and they probably decided to blast their way through as they got stuck on each other.

Probably my favourite map so thx for it. Theres a bug with unit counts somewhere, if you get past a certain building limit the game goes into overload and crashes, you can tell when its going to happen as the buildings and mobs start going invisible and you can no longer upgrade. Only seems to happen when 3 or more players make it to about wave 20 and they all have big mazes.

First off: Thanks for remaking Cube TD.

Secondly, this map needs serious fixing. I'm being punished for blocking while the units are blocking themselves OR when the path is too long (mind you I made a maze just lik in wc3 which forces them to walk the same path 4 times). Guess what they did? They destroyed my maze, ran to the middle, then at the end "being Punished for blocking" while it wasn't blocked! If you need screenshots I'd happy to, but this isn't fun at all, when you are supposed to make a maze, only to have units destroying your maze cuz they wrongly think theyre blocked.

Something else I noticed was that it isn't completely the same as WC3, the map size seems to be a bit bigger (air used to cover almost 4 waypoints, now its at most 2), upgrades seem slower than the mobs are moving. The last thing might be wrong from my memory, but I thought we'd get a small bonus after completing a round. I realized those things cuz my old tactic didn't work anymore :<. But still, that being punished for blocking while I'm not blocking needs some serious work.

I just downloaded the map great stuff I hope you continue to update it.
