How to repair World Editor

1. It all started out with me and my brother deciding to make warcraft III map with no food limit. so my brother went into the unit editor and he remade all of the default units food cost to : 0 , now when he tried to save the map he got 6788 errors in Triggers , and now my brother asked me to fix the map so i copied the map to my computer and tried fixing it so we could build endless units but all my tries resulted in bitter failure and i then decided to delete all the maps i had saved where i had gotten all the 6788 Trigger errors when saving , so that i perhaps could start from fresh with editing. I then tried opening "The Crucible".w3m the default map and i decided to just save it without modifying anything (and i mean nothing at all) and when it was saving the map i got the 6788 Errors in Triggers , from my brothers map with the 0food upkeep units. how can i make the world editor work again

2. Hopefully i now have a working World Editor and my mission is to make "TheCrucible"map where Endless units can be builded without having that ridiculous no-way-near-starcraft-food cap./100. Please tell me a way to remove the food max cap.

Have you tried reinstalling? That usually fixes it

My cd-rom thrashed my Warcraft III cd. so im afraid Re-installing isnt an option for me , is there any other ways to answer the questions in my above thread ?

When the WE is behaving wicky like this, installing it is the best option. I'm sorry to hear about your disc being screwed up, but you'll need it to play the game or run the WE anyway.

I have backup files of warcraft III can that fix the worldeditor i also have a backup of my maps folder before i put my brothers "wacked no unit limit map" in the map folder can that fix it? Im shocked that just because my brother edited the food values of all default units to 0. in his modified map it has ruined the worleditor to this point. Do any out there know how to make foodlimit higher or removed or somehow get around the max food limit.

Maybe Try a system restore if all else fails, Just pick a date when the thing actually worked.

There's no issue with setting the supply used to 0. No units in the map that I'm making right now have a supply value, since I'm not using that system.

I just tried using a system restore to before i put my brothers map in World Editor and i started editor up then and tried saving a map i had done nothing with and then i got the same error , the 6788 aproximately. errors in trigger. could it help if i wrote some of the errors down ? is there another way to get around than system restore.

i had it too, by experience i guess you gotta reinstall

Im gonna show you an example of the error i get when saving Triggers

E\games\Warcraft III\maps\(8)TheCrucible.w3mtemp\war3map.j
6434 compile errors
one of the 6434 errors where
ex.:
Line 147: Expected end of line
function Unit000035_DropItems takes nothing returns nothing
local widget trigWidget = null
local unit trigUnit = null
local integer itemID = 0

All this happened just because of the map my brother had made and now i cant save any maps with the melee default initialization working. the weird thing is i tried making a map then deleting all triggers , and when saving i still got the 6434 errors please help me

It's not a problem with the triggers themselves, although I'm sure if you wrote some they might have errors. It's a problem with WE compiling all the data from the map into the format that it reads in the game. The real problem really is really actually that your WE is screwed up. Email Blizzard and tell them you accidentally used your TFT CD as a coffee-cup saucer and maybe they'll take pity on you and send you a new one.

thanks for all the response and advices a great forum you guys got going here. lol panto i liked the idea but ill just stick with download maps , my mapping skils are awfully crappy anyway so no big deal in that :>
