WC3 update to 1.27 broke some maps

Does anyone know what changes were made in this ver? it seems the code all works fine still so it wasnt the same issue that changed from 1.23 to patch 1.24 where jass and vjass objects changed.
this seems to be more about custom object data. like now items wont work like a speed scroll doesn't work now but still shows the buff but no speed affect, and a mana pot doesnt work now. stuff like that. but not the standard item spells they are custom object abilitys to these items. Does Vex's optimizer still work right and the widgitizer?
Any info is appreciated!

Ho ho
Rumors say it's the widgetizers fault.

thats sad.. :/ any idea what they changed to make that mess up? i thought they only made changes for compatibility with newer OS's

Also i forget, who made the widgetizer? Do they ever log on these days still?

Ho ho
PitzerMike made it.
First knowing what exactly is not working anymore would be interesting and if it really is related to the Widgetizer.

Vex told me to play around with tweaks but i dont know enough about his program for that, can anyone help me with how to have it ignore object data when optimizing?

So what happens if you don't widgetize the map? What if you just leave it as it is? Does it work correctly?

Bleurgh, does any of this come from running Vex's optimiser or is the Widgetizer separate? Guess I'd better fire up 1.27 and check all my maps still work.

yesh the map works perfect and normal without using tools on it and it also works fine with saving it with the vjass jngp as well. but the widgetizer must do something or the combination of using that and then Vexs program.
the map will still load and work just some random things mess up dealing with normal wc3 spells. its completely random it seems.

I'm guessing Vex's optimizer is not at fault here since most of its options are for optimizing code?

Maybe I should download the patch and test it...

You could try and add the objects that break to the exceptions in Widgetizer.ini
I remember there's lots of stuff to customize in there.

How do i add exceptions for things in Widgetizer? its only for abilities data it seems..

Can someone try and help find out what Blizzard did to the ability's data in the update? they lied in their change log or did more than they listed.. they did something to change IDs around for no reason.. is there a support forum/email for wc3 still? lol
