Custom Game Interface - Big problem...

[Deathell]

Hi everyone, I have a problem... Whenever I try to edit the Game Interface in my ORPG, it just goes back to default when I restart WE. Can anyone please help me? Thank you

What triggers do you have set up that might cause a conflict? Did you start with a template to make your map?

By default, when changing Interface settings select:

Advanced>Game Interface>

BE SURE to check the box "Use Custom Game Interface." Apply your changes, click "OK" and then save the map.

Sorry bout the name.

Anyways, I dont know if I have any triggers that are - I'm not the triggerer, my friend is. And I am posotive that I have "Use Custom Game Interface" checked =/

bump..........

The only thing that I can think that might cause the problem is a trigger conflict. When our best trigger editors weigh in on this issue, you might get a more specific answer.

In the mean time, can you provide everyone with more information? Perhaps show us the triggers that run at map initialization.

If your co-author is wrote the triggers he or she might be best equipped to resolve this difficulty.

I have some personal experience to add to this. For example, i have the Upkeep one that says (0-30Food =...etc.) changed to a blank one but it always returns to previously stated text. I have no conflicting triggers although its not a big deal, ill eventually find a way to fix and and MAYBE it has to be filled(if your leaving them empty)

Shouldn't cause any conflicts -- Gameplay Constant & Game Interface changes are stored in a .txt file in the MPQ, and JASS can't read MPQs (or files, for that matter)

Probably something weird going on with your WE

When you change them are you sure your selecting the "ok" box instead of the "cancel" box?

 

[Deathell]

Posotive.

 

[Deep Sea Kraken]

Hmm, then i dont know what your problem is, sorry man.

Only think i can think of now is that your WE is bugged.

 

[Deathell]

Can't be, caus I can change the interface in other maps, just not this one.

thats quite strange...
im no expert but
do you and your friend send the map back and forth to get work done?
maybe its a WE compatibility problem between the 2 of you? Have you tried changing the interface of a map that your friend has made?

If its just THAT particular map that has a problem, try deleting all the triggers, or even all the stuff from the map (after backing up ofc). with nothing on it, it should work with nothing possibly interfering....

I doubt its the problem, but just throwing ideas out there =/

 

[Deathell]

Yes, we do send the maps back and fourth, and I've already tried deleting all of the triggers =/

bump.....

 

[Dr Super Good]

Do not bump, I think there is a 48 or longer bumping rule.

This bug is common, the imports get curropted when saving and all data in them is lost and they are known as 0KB.
Make your map like normal and import them manually once you have finished.

Also make sue all files are valid since errors in text and stuff in the constants or the files may cause it to error and not save.

What do you mean by "import them manually"? What do I import?
