Dead map?

Hey ive been working on a map and all of a sudden it died...I cant load it in the editor and its only like 30% done so what am i supposed to do...it either gives me an error like its protected or something (its not) or it just crashes upon open??

Can any1 help me??

Um.. let me quote myself from the last board you made about this problem, which you CLEARLY have not checked or looked at:




Althought you did answer #3, your still too vegue for anyone to be able to help.

Some more questions:

1. When do you get the error? On open, or a little after opening, or when you try to open a specific module?
2. What is the EXACT error?
3. Do you only get 1 error or more?
4. What (if anything) is imported into your map?
5. Do you have any local folders (like a UI folder) in the War3 folder that you added?

Did you import anything? Especially sounds. Ive heard of them curropting a map

1. I get error while its opening or it just crashes after its down loads. (Its weird.)

2. Excact error i dont know..ill get back to you.

3. Only 1 error.

4. Alot of things are imported I.E. models/skins/icons/preview image

5. Don't understand probally not.

I can't attach my map here. (It's too large.) If that gives a hint to how many imported items.

I've heard of maps that are so large that some computers can't handle all the data. That might be the case here.

This has nothing to do with size or imported anything. There is a random bug in the WE that after working on a map for a certain length of time without restarting the WE it will currupt the file just because. This can also occur randomly for no apparent reason. This has been adressed by Blizzard and they are currently trying to figure out what causes it. I would not expect a solution soon, however, because they dont really care about the WE. Hints the "we do not directly support the WE" and "any damage this causes to your computer is not liable to Blizzard" statments in the contract that you just scrolled through without reading. Hope that helps.

Yes, i have heard of this bug that is why when i work on a map i like to back it up. Like Kam said, you wont be getting a solution soon.

>.< well, thanks anyways i also heard from somebody that it could be one of the imported icons that i fitted in...it also happens to be the last thing i add to the map...anyway i could extract it??

try using an extractor thingy program and take the files out?

I heard WinMPQ works but i cant download it due to computer type...
