Hey!
I wasted whole day from morning to evening to make an update of my map and know Im trying to open it to continue and...World Editor crashes when I open the map every time and other maps works fine. I have one idea what it can be. I named a unit to Tower (Level %d) because it was a base tower, the point was to make lvl 1, 2, 3 and 4 and all was based of level %d...(its not a TD). Anyway I think the name can be the problem and I must change it but I can't because it crashes. Is there any second part opener like UMSWE but not based on the real. I need something that only can change units or something like that...or is it any other ways to change a unit name without being in map? I do NOT wanna redo everything I did today, it was so ****ing boring and took all the day...PLZ HELP ME... Im already hysteric!

Theres a unit editor program available somewhere. I think the download section has WEUE2. Thing is you have to export and import your settings before you can work on it with taht program. I suppose you could extract your unit settings with an mpq viewer.

Well, I hope that you tested your map using ctrl-f9.

If you did, you can access the map in your warcraft 3 folder under "/Maps/Test/".

I did but the thing is that...I tested the map AFTER it started to crash. When I had it open it never crashed. It first crash when I quit world editor and then reopened it.

and...no I wont give this unprotected version a public bug test (rofl)!

There is no need to lose all your map download WC Unlimited in the downloads section and extract the terrain, triggers, etc with that application and upload it into a new map file and continue uploading the triggers, units untill you find what is crashing the file the units, triggers, etc.

Really thank you! I didn't know W3U had a menu first. I found out that the problem was that I had used custom color on a brigde! So I simply took the old version and exported the old bridge and then imported it to the new version. That was the only changed doodad so it works good now!
