[Solved] 1.31 World editor STRING CORRUPT FIX

[Lord_Marrowgrath]

I fixed all string corrupt problem. All you need to replace your map folder to documents folder>warcraft III>Maps>replace your map to here and open it from there on world editor.

Strings will not corrupt. They transfered map datas to your documents folder. I hope it will helps

My map work well.

Does this work when saving your map, and when creating new objects within the object editor?

 

[DaneTheBeast]

Wait what? Just put the map into Documents/Warcraft III/Maps? That doesn't work for me, still having corrupt strings.

I'm not really following what he recommended. It seems - too easy. I tried deleting the Maps folder and creating a new one - didn't work. I completely reinstalled wc3 a few times to see if that worked - it didn't. I tried opening the map with "open with..." (from "there" as he states) but World Editor won't load the map once it starts. Anyway, whatever worked for OP isn't working for me. I'm trying to avoid remaking everything (if that even works) but it's looking that way.

edit. remaking units from scratch also doesn't save. Guess I'll just go outside

The strings get messed when you save a map with the new Editor. Have you tried that? Because the placing the map on \Document\Warcraft III\Maps didn't make any difference to that: I don't think it's that simple, I think the problem lies somewhere how the updated World Editor compiles the file when saving it.

 

[SpiritTauren]

In my case it just crashes during the save process (no matter what). And I only used GUI on purpose, to avoid any code handling changes in newer versions. Oh well...
Update: lol it took 20 minutes to compile. After 20 minutes the map was finally saved. (And I have a powerful rig for video editing).

I managed to make it Work by using the WorldEditor 1.31 Public Test Release.
Try it out.

That version of the editor has an even worse bug which can destroy your triggers. Make sure to have a backup.

What kind of bug are you talking about and how can I avoid it?
