WEU Broke!

Okay my comp has been acting up lately and I really should reformat this junk but I don't want to waste time. Unfortunately my WEU has broke. When I run the WEU file it just loads the vanilla WE, no advanced triggers, limits in place and none of the 'secret' units.

It was not caused by the patch I think, because I made a demo map after the patch.

Does anyone know what might have caused this? I've tried reinstalling WEU to a different folder and the same problem occurs.

Interesting, seems like the modified files are not loaded properly. But I dont think it's due to a corrupted exe.
You should try UMSWE (it ueses the same technique to patch the WE). If it also doesn't work it's most likely a mpqdraft related problem.

No dice buddy. Same problem with UMSWE. What mpqdraft and is there anything I can do about it?

Hm, doca had the same problem. From one day to the other it stopped patching the we correctly. I don't know what exactly the problem could be, but back then we solved it by putting the weu-files into local folders (which is messy but will work)

Could be that for some reason there are files in an ui folder there, or probably, blizzard fixed their stuff disallowing mpqdraft, that would be a good boo to blizzard though

We already checked all possibilities back then, when the problem appeared with doca (and this was before any 1.15/16 patches). Bad registry values, local UI folders, corrupted exe, missing files in the exe - None of them. I even asked quantam but he couldn't help me either.
