custom unit causing WE to crash...

[RabidParrot]

Ok... huge problem. Whenever I try to open my map in WE, WE crashes... I just imported a new model I was working on so I'm assuming that's the problem... A lot of effort has gone into this map and I don't have a backup copy... am I screwed? any ideas out there?

Its probably the model then...Your also probably screwed.

I think your only way to recover your map is to use a "unprotector", wich unprotects maps.

Those kind of programs can recover triggers, ddls, variables, etc.

I'm not sure how it works though, since i never used such things.

No, if a model is causing the map to crash, all he needs is WE Unlimited, open the map go to imported files tab and remove the imported corrupted model then save it.

Use the WEU Enhancer. And for the future always save a copy of your map that is not protected, so that you can always open it freely.

I wouldn't use WEU, but a MPQ browser in teh tools section. Open your map with one and remove the import. WEU is known for being old and also causing bugs

I've had some cases where a model crashes the game. I never use the WEU that is like the war3 WorldEdit, just the map enhancer. And the map enhancer won't cause bugs, I've done it several times.

Oh man, thanks an assload. WEU Enhancer worked great.

Mental note, use separate dummy map to test models I'm working on....

Only Mods/Admins can change that.
