does this have anything to do with scripts?

when i make and edit maps the number changes and i saw some maps not having this sword clash icon.. but a gear icon

The sword icon only shows on melee maps, the other icon is for all maps that don't fit the melee map criteria.

So yes, it has something to do with scripts.

how about the numbers?

The number means how many players MAX you can have, if it says 10, you can have 10 players, if it says 4, you can have 4 players.

EDIT: @ your question, this has something to do with scipts too

my map shows 851672 even it has only 10 players..

It shows the 2 swords with a 851672?
That surly is impossible, unless you have edited or

no i didn't edit it.. i don't even have that in my map

You do have it in your map, just in jass
Its in your maps .j file i think, in the PlayersInit, not to sure.

Anyways, can you attach a copy of the map here so i can see it please.

I hade 255 players in one of my maps, i click it, the unlimited player slots appear, and 1 sec later, wc3 crashes xD. I'll find a screen.

Wow, very very odd, but i surpose blizz with wc3 W/E and external programs arnt the best =/

I must know 200+ bugs for wc3 W/E
Shame...

Would be nice to see a screeny tho xD

The icon with the number depends on war3map.w3i actually

The player information is duplicated in config() in war3map.j. If war3map.w3i is used for the number, when is config() executed?

Actually I think that it considers the header of the map too. It is staged, config is when you are actually playing the map, w3i is when you want information of the map. and map's header is for the icon, so wc3 can read the information of all the maps in that folder without wasting too much process

vexorian... can i change thos exact numbers at the "map header and war3map.w3i" using xvi32.. if then. kindly please show us ..

you use xvi32

hmnn well you'd want to know what bytes to change? just follow the specification that is stickied on tool\Programming forum
