Damn... I have NO idea what could cause something like that... I personally would just give up on that set of Abilities and export all my other data, then make a new map and import it all back. And then copy and paste all the doodads, terrain and units into it... But anyway, I sympathize deeply, that sucks. |

Are you using some kind of costumised we or you just had a whole hell of a lot custom spells? anyway check your wc3 folder that you dont have any files that could interfer with WE, like files from a map it could be the problem. |

I know EXACTLY what causes this. 99.9% chance the reason it crashes is because you have an ability thats race is set to "Commoner" or "Critter". The reason I am so sure is because it only crashes when you goto that tab. It would only crash on the "Units" tab if you had a unit that was commoner or critter. The only fix is to export all the object editor data (obviously you can't just export the abilities because you can't get to that tab...), open it up in a HEX editor (NOTEPAD WILL NOT WORK! Notepad corrupts the file on save.) and then change all instances of Commoner or Critter to say "Other", then reimport it into your map. ALSO NOTE: that if you export it and then try to reimport it without fixing it, then it will cause the same crash while importing.. PS: If your wondering how I know this, and how I know the fix worked... Its because I was using "Commoner" to organise my unfinished abilities a while back and ran into the same problem.. I asked for help here and NO ONE could help. All anyone would say was "Known Issue" or "Check blizzards forums its a known problem" instead of helping, I had to figure out how to fix it myself... EDIT: Also note: here is the Known editor bugs list (on blizzards forums). And if you don't have a HEX Editor, just send me a PM and I will send you the info on how you can send me the exported file and I will fix it for you. |
