I'm working on a project for warcraft 3, and i've been writing the story and everything for a month now, and 2 days ago i started mapping. I've placed several buildings, units and doodads on a relatively small map, but when i came to saving the map the editor sent me these errors:(:

2 compile errors:

Line 8: expected end of line
Line 8: expected end of line


when i tried opening the map after with war3, the game terminated itslef claiming another error somewhere.

can any1 plz tell me what these 2 WE error means (i know its the same line twice, but thats how it came out on the editor) and/or how to correct them.

thx

yea i think il do that, my WE seems bugged.
this is the first time this happens but the WE had made alot of problems before, like when opening a lordaeron fall map it would load parts of the lordaeron fall tiles and parts of the lordaeron summer tiles... really freaky...

If it still freaks out after re-install you will need to unistall it and make sure all Registry entries are gone of it. It leaves some sometimes. WE is really wierd that way.

Since my map was corrupted, i opened the WE extra editor, made by camsys if i remember, who i realised was installed on my pc. i opened with it the corrupted map and copied 1 by 1 the whole terrain, doodads, and units layer and pasted them on a new map made by the extra editor, instaled in a different directory than the corrupted editor. i also exported all the custom units and triggers to the new map. having just cloned the corrupted map to a healthier 1 i saved it and it worked!!! yay :gfu: old editor!!

but since i still have to change some unit model fields it needs to be in strings, this which the extra editor doesnt do but which my corrupted blink did *sigh* . guess i have a whole big session of reinstallment ahead of me:////

thx for all your tips guys
i really ought to work on this signature
