Minor problem with Heavy Locker (great prog)

12-15-2003, 03:02 AM

Ok, I have a small problem with heavylocker. And BlackDick is kinda busy and hasn't gotten back to me on the problem so I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem/knows a solution to it.

The problem:
No matter what settings I use one of my imported models (the wooden infernal by C)n-ShadowHawk from here) disappears. What I mean is, the model works fine in game and shows up fine. But after locking the map with heavylocker, model is GONE in game, the unit(s) that have the model are invisible and unselectable. They are workers, so they are still "Selectable" by clicking on the "Idle workers" button, and can still be issued orders. But you can't select them by clicking or box selecting the area where they are at.

Things Tried:

Tried EVERY different setting for locking the map (EVEN PREVIEW ONLY LOCK!) and ALL of them cause this problem.
Tried changing the imported path of the model.
Tried deleting and reimporting the model.
Tried deleting and reimporting the skin.

Any ideas would be appreciated!!

Starcraftfreak	Would it be a problem for you to post the map or upload it somewhere?

AllPainful	I would rather not, as I don't want the map actually out until I get it locked. But if you want to take a look at it I trust ya, tell me your e-mail addy and I will sent the map to ya. BTW if you would like me to send it, would you like me to send unprotected and protected, or just unpropected (note: the map is 1008k/.98megs protected version is 800k)

AllPainful	Any luck finding the problem? Or are you a little too busy with UMSWE since 1.13 came out?

Extrarius	If HeavyLocker isn't working, try ExtProtect (link is in my sig)

I have ExtProtect. But I CAN'T use it in this case, I NEED the file size reducing aspect of HeavyLocker. My map gets only 20k smaller using ExtProtect, but it gets over 200k smaller using HeavyLocker.

And besides, locking this map with your locker makes the map completely unplayable, just selecting the map in War3 crashes it after locking it with ExtProtect. (yes I have the newest version)

But it could be the map itself is incompatible with 1.13b.... will have to wait till a new version of WEU is out...
