need help trouble shooting...

I am in the final phases of a map i created with 12 players on 4 teams.

THe problem is that when I go to play it, selecting the map does not make forces and players appear in the large area below the file selection field. If I select a different map first then click on mine, it keeps the same teams that were in the previous map. If you know what's going on please let me know.

the map has not been protected, optomized or anything like that. Thanks.

You didn't attach it...

um... I'll send it to you... I don't like attaching unprotected maps to the forum... what's your email?

Too much burocracy, just to answer the question, did you actually check the Fixed Player settings in the Player dialog AND the Fixed forces in the forces dialog?

alright here's the map... and yeah I did both those things.

I have had a map stolen before by posting it that is why I was hesitant to do so at first. Hopefully though someone will be able to figure out what is keeping it from being playable.

ok. i will help u too. i will try to find the problem. i already try the option TEST MAP but the problem is that ur map wont load. i mean.. it takes me to the main menu of the game and nothing more... the "TEST MAP" option have to take me to the main menu and auto run the map.. i dont know why the map wont auto load...MmMMM i will keep looking...

ok.. now i see the real problem.. well the map forces seems to be damage or something. cuz if i SELECT any map of my map list and then select ur map.. ur map takes the forces and players from the other map... kinda weird problem. i will keep looking a solution.

Without haveing to get the map i can tell you its corrupt, you might have imported/replaced a file, edited an SLK or worte a bad JASS trigger, those are a few ways in wich a map can be corrupt. Importing i mean is through a MPQ type program, not using the import manager. Ill take a look real quick and see if its a trigger, maybe.

Hope you figure it out,
Cheers,

I think your map was corrupted or something, Try saving it again

yes its corrupted. i can discard 1 by 1 the not corrupted files to see damage file.. but it will take me a LOT OF TIME cuz i have a little problem with my 3d Video card (XFX G Force 4 Mx440SE The screen Blinks some times and its like a bug or something .... can any 1 help me with that plz?? if but i will try to find the problem anyway

I really appreciate all this guys... I never imported anything though so that's kind fo wierd...

I AM A MORON!!!

ok, when you guys mentioned something about a corrupt file it kind of struck a nerve... A LONG time ago I was messing around with the import manager... and imported the map into itself... so I deleted that and now it works... thanks for your help everyone.

ya.. i saw it too... i ran here to post it but u already did... ¬¬ well. its good to see ur map works very well now.. :D

as a side note, for anyone who opened up my map, did you look at it at all? What did you think?
