[Solved] Campaign Editor Problem of 5 Years

[JayDee]

Hello! I have been a die-hard Warcraft player/editor for quite a while, since the release of Warcraft 3. I've done many things in the World Editor but the one thing that I can never get to work is the campaign editor, and I see absolutely no reason why it won't work.

It's such a stupid problem that I have not been able to find the answer to for five years and I KNOW it will be a really dumb and simple solution.

The problem is with the actual campaign appearing in my custom campaigns list. What I do to test is I make a custom campaign, titled Test, and I'll stick any random single player map into the campaign. I'll give it a button and everything, but the problem isn't in the campaign menu. What actually happens is that there is NO CAMPAIGN TO CLICK ON when I go to the Custom Campaign menu in-game.

Can somebody please help me solve my plight of 5 years?

The campaign file is located at Warcraft III\Campaigns folder, isn't it?

Yeah, it's there. If that was the problem I was about ready to throw myself off of a bridge.

Edit: Something just caught my eye (yeah, after this long). There are little lock icons on the corners of my test campaigns, that seems significant. Don't know what they are though.

1. Your campaign can be outdated - make sure it's working properly with patch 1.24.
2. Check the Player Properies, check if there are players declared.
3. Post the campaign here as attachment or via Pastebin.

I definitely think it's a problem with this lock thing. Like it's being locked out of being used by anything by the World Editor.
The first image is when I try to open the test campaign in World Editor.
The second is when I try to upload it as an attachment. It isn't there either.

Could it be something to do with Windows 7?

Also, I changed the player properties to a single player yesterday before posting this so I know it's not that.

Edit: I've now noticed that anything I make in the World Editor and save in the Warcraft 3 folder has the little lock icon on it. Individual maps included.

Edit: OH LAWD. I fixed it. I copy pasted the whole Warcraft 3 folder to my desktop and now everything is working. Something about it being in my program files was not allowing the game or anything to access the maps. I'm sure there's an option somewhere on my computer that would allow the original folder to work but oh well, this is good.
Thanks for the help though, guys!
