Well, this is what i get after starting UMSWE 4.1 beta over Blizzard 1.14 patch:

Missing string: WESTRING_EVENTID_EVENT_WIDGET_DEATH
Missing string: WESTRING_EVENTID_EVENT_DIALOG_BUTTON_CLICK
Missing string: WESTRING_EVENTID_EVENT_DIALOG_CLICK
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'BuffID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'EfctID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'targsID1' (Units\AbilityData)

And this is what i get after i open my map:

Referencing unkonwn database field: 'selSizeID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'BuffID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'EfctID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'targsID1' (Units\AbilityData)

Please help me... i am using an external .slk file... i want to make a 1.14 version compatible of my map, and i don't wanna ruin everything. Thank you in advance for the hard work.

I hope you have a backup of your custom AbilityData.slk. It is obvious that the spells no longer work, because everytime you save your map in UMSWE, your abilitydata.slk will be replaced. I can't fix that problem, it has to do with the way MPQDraft patches the WE. You have to import the files with the normal WE or some MPQ tool.

Yes, sure i have a backup of my AbilityData.slk... but it worked untill now.. that's why i was worried about. So, you say if i'll simply get the old Abilitydata.slk back it should work, or UMSWE will always change it on every save for now ? Sorry to bother you... but i've spend half of year improving this... sleepless nights... and it's hard to see everything going away...
But... if it's bad, please tell me. Anyway, thank you for your hard work. I know what means to do such big projects like this. I wish you all the best !

it's no problem at all to import your custom AbilityData.slk after your work is done with WinMPQ or another mpq tool.

So after having made the final save to your map You'd import the file. Or you import it everytime before you wanna test the map and delete it afterwards again

Well, i appologise, as i know this is UMSWE 4.1 beta thread.... but:
1. I am using WinMPQ to implement all my files after i edit with UMSWE, so my AbilityData.slk should be ok (maybe it's not ok with 1.14 anymore... but that i don't know)
2. These errors i only got after updating to 1.14 and UMSWE 4.1 beta. And i want to know if it's 1.14 Blizzard problem or UMSWE 4.1 problem (if it's 1.14 i'm scrued... and must find another way... if it's UMSWE 4.1 shall i wait for another beta that solves those problems ?) :
Missing string: WESTRING_EVENTID_EVENT_WIDGET_DEATH
Missing string: WESTRING_EVENTID_EVENT_DIALOG_BUTTON_CLICK
Missing string: WESTRING_EVENTID_EVENT_DIALOG_CLICK
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'selSizeID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'BuffID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'EfctID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'targsID1' (Units\AbilityData)

Thank you in advance for your answers

OK... it seemed like the AbilityData.slk was an older version and that's why UMSWE didn't recognised these values:
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'selSizeID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'BuffID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'EfctID1' (Units\AbilityData)
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'targsID1' (Units\AbilityData)

But for now, even if i changed only the AbilityData.slk, i get a new error:
Referencing unkonwn database field: 'selSize' (Units\ItemData). Grrr, what now ? Do i need to use external Item.slk or something ? Or it has anything to do with UMSWE 4.1 beta ?

Does the map work in the game?
You can ignore these errors if the map works in the game.
Basically you just need to import the SLKs with WinMPQ (or a similiar tool) after your last save in the UMSWE.
The SLKs should work in 1.14, if they were taken from 1.13. After 1.13 the SLK data format (the way Blizzard arranges the fields) hasn't changed, so they should be compatible to the latest patch, until Blizzard makes a major update (like 1.10 or 1.13).

Everytime I open either of these 2 rar files it says they are corrupted and cant read, I have redownloaded about 4 or 5 times for each
and the same thing every time, could anyone send me the exe by itself?

Hmm, the map works in W3 now, after a lot of work... but i see soo many bugs in my map. Blizzard makes me wanna kill somebody. And they are moving fasst. Already released 1.14b, so i expect soon 1.15 to ruin my map again.
Btw, when can we expect UMSWE 4.1 Final, or even 4.2 ? :) Good luck !

These errors are neglible, as I said often before.

Maybe you use an outdated version of WinRAR.

I can't give you any estimates, as I'm very busy with school. I feel the necessitiy of a full release, as this would prevent a lot of stupid questions of being asked. But my ambition is to write some tutorials for it, which requires also some time. So the estimate is "soon, when it's done".

I hate to bother you anymore but is there anyway where you can change the game messages to work with the normal editor instead of it crashing, I have like 100+ messages that I'm going to have to redo just to get them to work outside of UMSWE.

Please be exact. I can't help you guys if I can only guess what's the problem. I need an accurate description (how is the trigger named,...).
