black map

[13th_Blank]

okay so ive been making this loap for around six months, but when i test it, the map goes black a lot.
the whole map just goes black, you can still see random stuff, but it goes black. sometimes it reverts but still goes black.
does anyone know why?

Did you enable alternate landscape vision mode in warcraft 3?

What?

And I had the same problem once, I had to remake my map.... It didn't show up in editor though. Everything goes black, also models (their texture goes gone?).
Anyway if you have the same then it doesn't look good. xD

Don;t try reinstalling though, new maps worked fine, so did older maps. Just not that one.

1. Didn't you protect it by Widgetizer by mistake?

2. What WE and other tools do you use?

3. Did you modify MPQ?

No I didn't.

I didn't use any protector or modify anything. I only uesd the WE that comes with Warcraft, no other tools.

Yeah the map itself has the issue but I don't know why.

Got the same thing, no protectors no third party tools, just WE.
I hope you have some backups that don't have it, cause I think it's a form of map corruption.

 

[13th_Blank]

I didn't exactly have backups
I guess it is, when I first started to edit it, the map was already blacking out a little. Probably should have done something about it.
So it's just map corruption? Irreversible?

Lol maybe something's wrong with your monitor?


--on a more serious note--
Ouch, and you've been working on that map for around half a year... from what you've told us, it sounds like the map is corrupted. No idea how to get it back, sorry.

Maybe you just used a fade filter... or, you stole the map and the previous theif used a fade filter.
Check the triggering, and be sure you understand every function. If your problem is with the game, then there really aren't any solutions.

 

[13th_Blank]

I didn't steal the map I just found it in my archive so I guess I downloaded it from someone who did?

Btw whats a fade filter?

 

[bounty hunter2]

Its when the screen turns black instantly or over some time. Doesn't have to be black, check all the types of filters warcraft has.

 

[13th_Blank]

Where can I check it? In the triggers?

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Its a cinematic. In the trigger, you should find the point in time that the game turns black (the event)
For example, everytime you make your unit go through a certain gate, the screen goes black. so look for a region event.

More specifically, you will want to look for something like:

Actions:
Cinematic - ((Fade out)) over (([any time])) uusing ((Black mask)) fade filter.

or something like that.

The easiest way to fix it is to fade it in at the apropriate time.
So, copy and paste the same action (changing fade out to fade in) later on in the trigger. If you don't know anything about world editor, then this could be difficult.

Also, if you cant see your interface (your unit move, attack, patrol etc. OR a cinematic border) when the screen turns black, then a fade filter isn't the problem. And if that's the case, I have no idea what is wrong with the map.

If you'd like for me to fix the map for you, id be more than happy to.

If he/she cant fix it, can try reconstruction, which should help find out at what point your map is bugged, although id sugest dissableing trigs, and see if this makes the map work? (noting loss of all non wc3 basic functions)

Also if you got it from your download folder, this map IS stolen, or atleast borrowed with consint... alot of mappers dont mind people editing/learning from their works, especially after they quit working on it/ retire

He lol.


Anyway, the maps from your download folder generally belong to other people. If you are having a problem with a map that you DID NOT CREATE, make your own. this should solve your problem. Your problem sounds simple, but its nothing that someone who isn't experienced with map editing would be able to find. I would hope I solved your problem.
