Map won't load

I recently reinstalled WC3, reinstalled latest version of newgen, and have run into a problem running my old maps.

The maps are months old (about patch 1.21 i think), and when I try to load them, it just goes to main screen or returns to previous screen.

Are the maps corrupted for some reason, or am I just missing something? I do remember that when a certain patch came out (1.22 I think) I had to alter the patch b/c newgen would not work on it.

Thank you for any help in this area

I assume you have downloaded the newest WC3 patch, yes? The newest patch for WC3 broke every single map that had been produced before that patch, so none of them work. At all. IIRC on the every single one, but the grand majority at least.

So what can be done about that? I assume triggers can be copied and I know that newgen still works fine. Or at least what have other people done?

You probably need to change your map code so that it no longer uses H2I or a similar handle-exploit function. There are new ways to code this so you don't lose functionality, but Handle2Int stuff causes exactly the symptom you describe.

It did not break every single map. There are just a few things that are now hosed.

or install 123 version.
