New patch 1.10 = new problems to mapmakers

As you all might have noticed, the new patch 1.10 seem to have a negative impact on the current selection of custom maps. Some maps will work differently, making it unusually hard then before, and some maps just crash at loading. The greatest impact are on the following aspects:

-Tomes are now used in one charge, which means that custom maps that relied heavily on "stat" tomes are broken now. For example, +1 tomes with 100 charges will only be usable once, therefore not supplying the 99 extra charges. Examples of such maps are: "AoS - based maps with insanely high stat tomes" and "Hero Siege'.

-Some maps that had imported ablitydata.slk's and other files related to spell editing, will NOT work and causes immediate exit and crash to desktop. The new patch uses a different format, hence breaking compatibility of those maps. Most known examples are "Dota", "Boto", "KoS" and "Between Worlds".
NOTE: CONVERTING ABILITYDATA.SLK TO NEW FORMAT IS EASY AS PIE. They just removed two collumns and rearranged some order. But technically the converting from old to new wouldnt take more then 5 minutes in excell. only problem is that OLD maps which still have the old slk will not function.

-Some triggers will not function as they should be, which means that some maps are terribly broken now. Example would be the map: "The Twelve Blademasters"

-Ankhs will NOT bring a hero back to life with full hp/mp. They will be reincarnated with low hp (in the redzone) and the exact amonut of mana at the point they died. Of course the Tauren Chieftan's reincarnation skill doesn't have this occurance. You can figure out yourself what this means; annoyance indeed

-Same applies to rejuvination potions which supposedly bring back 100% hp and mp to your hero; it does not, so dont rely on them too much.....

Mapmakers should take these changes into account and hopefully we will see some changes around that makes these maps playable again =)
emote_sweat :ggani:

Hopefully it fixes itself up in TFT! I'm quitting for B.net ROC today!

and not to mention most of the Roleplaying(RP) maps.

dont count on it, as they are TFT features =D

You can't open the war3patch.mpq with WinMPQ either.
B4 I go to bed tonight I'm gonna reinstall ROC and then patch it.
I would recommend this to everyone if you are going to get TFT.
Especially if you edit alot and work with the .mpq files. I'm pretty sure I installed the patch with some skins imported in my mpq which i can't delete now. Be sure you have a clean 1.06 mpq on your comp if u haven't installed the patch yet.

There goes my RPG done the hole... My AoS I was making... My Famous WW3 (famous to some ppl at least) :nono:
I made 40 Custom spells for my new AoS, now they are destroyed... (Cries to self in Fetal Position) That made me the most angry, but most of the spells didnt work right in the first place.
Remember we still have TFT, and it might jsut solve our probs!
:D

I used to like RoC... i fled to it after the evil of TFT went too far, now they killed RoC by making just as evil, with out the fall of the night elves(nerfing them to hell).

well the biggest anoyance to me is that i couldnt get it to load
also on maps like zoator which iv just seen on lvl 5 the flyer it sent 4 they stack not the greatest improvements iv seen but some things help like stronger wyvens stronger dryads and some other stuff for the play game communitie

If Blizz is harming TD's then this is going to cause a tone of trouble.....

also i just saw is that anything that does splash air is doing so much damedge cause its all 100% seeing as they are so close maybe hey wil see the error of there ways
(the shops are great now)

And maybe hell will freeze over

****ing Blizzard is jacking everything up with this patch, it's stupid, just make people buy TFT! :bgrun:

They took a good game, and then made it a little nice, then they threw most of it away to force everyone to buy TFT

Why? WHY? WWHHYY!!!!

What happened to Doodads? And why is Unit Editor so hard to use? And WHY does it take 5 minutes of errors to run UMSWE 3.2!?!

WHY!

Dont expect too much in tft, the only fun part was the orc bonus and the secret human lvl.
Guess what type of game the secret lvl is.
Ill give u a hint it starts with T.
