It's probably just a bad model or texture. I had a bad terrain texture once that got corrupt whenever i replaced an imported file. All I did was use MPQ Master on the map to delete imports until I found the problem. You'd be able to open the map once the corrupt import was deleted.
Still probably a lot easier than remaking the entire thing again
Good luck finding the issue!Pfft, did you post any WIPs yet? You're leaving us in the dark here about what you're making. It's scary in the dark
Most of the doodads were made by WindexIsBack1 and reposted by Pharaoh_ when Windex's links were corrupt. I can post the pack up or send them to anyone that needs them, because I haven't seen them around for a while. The rest were all edits from models I used in previous maps or TGAs turned into models using the model editor (like the dialogue bubbles).
Beware Tickles I might win this time 
I see... Cool, also I wouldn't mind a link to that pack.
Indeed it is scary in the dark. . . ( It took me a while to learn how to do a video however I finally figured it out! =) )
Yes I did post a WIP.... I knew it nobody bothers to even look at my entries >.>
So yeah check it out, Dat-C3 is finally on a roll *and* finally on a challenging level with Tickles.
Still.... Making videos is difficult, and definitely tough at first. Now I can make epic previews like everyone else.
A wide variety of character types is always cool. Character attacks and movement feel a bit sluggish (other than the ghost's movement). The spearwoman leaves this ugly yellow goop on the floor when she attacks, and the magician's model and animations are screwed up.This is an early WIP, beta of the first riddle... Interactive environment, and a puzzle to be solved.
Enjoy, and tell me your opinion
NOTE: Terrain is shitty, I know. I didn't even try to make it look good, I tried to make it work for the gameplay. When I finish the technical stuff and gameplay, I will rework the entire terrain.
There should be a little guidance about what to do, but I really like how it flows and how it can kill you easily if you're not paying close enough attention. Puzzles like that are perfect for escape maps.

Interesting use of the alpha tile. It's just a bit hard to distinguish between the cliff sides and the base terrain. Using something like dirt terrain instead of grey stones would look better. Braziers are currently walkable, and I was able to climb up onto them at certain points between pathing blockers.
The grid is a nice touch
They resemble the human campaign terrains a lot in my opinion

''As Lordaeron lies in ruins following the Burning Legion's entry to Azeroth; the Demon Lords, Tichondrius, Mannoroth and Archimonde discuss their plans for invading Kalimdor after learning of the Orcs departure in the western continent.
However, before Tichondrius would follow his fellow demon lords to Kalimdor, he is to drain the souls of whatever villagers he could find in order to rejuvenate his strength before he departs''
• Your mission is to evade being slain by Tichondrius for 30 minutes! if you elude him that long then he will become desperate and teleport away ignoring his lust for your soul; thus granting you victory.
• Each player is given control of the new Sorceress hero unit that has various abilities which suits this map's stalling environment
- Firebolt: Stuns the target for 5 seconds.

- Slow: Slows movement and attack speed.
- Siphon Mana: Drains Mana.
- Mana Shield: A protective shield that defends you at the cost of mana.
• Not only can you use your various abilities to stun or delay Tichondrius but you can also use them on your fellow Sorceress companions to stun or slow them while Tichondrius is attacking them in order to ensure their destruction.
• When a Sorceress is slain, she'll drop a Tome of Dalaran which greatly increases your stats and is extremely valuable, that is a reason why you should harbor little love for your companions and would rather assist Tichondrius by weakening them that you may claim the tome for your own.
• You can also pickup Necromancer's Rod from the corpses of the Necromancers that were slain during the war with the Undead, this Rod can dispel magic effects from either you, your fellow Sorceresses or Tichondrius.

- Fury of The Legion: Tichondrius increases his attack speed by 40% and movement speed by 25%
- Summon Felhounds: Tichondrius summons Felhounds that can attack and mana drain Sorceresses every 180 seconds.
- Life Drain: Drains 40 Life (Easy Mode), 50 Life (Normal Mode), 60 Life (Hard Mode) per second and gives it to Tichondrius.
- Haste: Grants 0% (Easy Mode). 15% (Normal Mode). 30% (Hard Mode) attack speed.
- Speed: Grants 0 (Easy Mode). 60 (Normal Mode). 120 (Hard Mode) movement speed.
- Orb of Fire: (Easy, Normal, Hard Mode) Adds 5 fire damage bonus to Tichondrius + causes his attacks to do Splash damage.

RemarkSuggest and Comment!
It's a fun map for the first few minutes, but it feels a bit repetitive just running from a single hostile force after a while. Adding something like natural disasters which can both hinder or help you might make the game a lot more interesting. Tornadoes could grow in size and slow, damage or toss units around that get too close. Earthquakes could slow, damage, stun or knock units down. Thunderstorms could randomly strike down and stun, damage units, or destroy a portion of mana.
Or now? ^^ )

I see where you're going with the snowy terrain. It makes for some nice scenery, but those file sizes are too insanely large for what you get out of them. I suggest either opening the textures in BLP Lab and saving with lower qualities, or shrink the textures down in an image editing program. Even the dire wolf model sizes can be cut in half using MDX/M3 Optimizer. The only thing that probably shouldn't be shrunk down is the currently unused Icecrown dirt terrain tile. You can probably get the map's file size down to 1-2mb after compressing the files.
This gave me a new idea:I see... Cool, also I wouldn't mind a link to that pack.

Why not just use CTRL + PRINT and paste into PAINT to create a screenshot?
Isn't this way too complicated? Or are you afraid someone will have a tool that converts screenshots to warcraft 3 maps?
