I heard somewhere that using WE Unlimited can corrupt your map, does anyone know if this is true? If this is true, in what way does it corrupt your map?

I've been using WE for months now and if it corrupts my map I'm going to loose so much work so I'm realy hoping this isnt true :S

And NewGen is a lot better...

I wish I could get it to work :( Whenever I Download it my anti Virus goes mad even before I've installed it! Don't realy want to disable my anti-virus as I just had to clean my comp of a nasty virus it got afew days ago.

I'm not using any of the WEU advanced triggers, just using it for the extra tile sets and terraining options. Hopefuly this won't cause any corruption? The Map enhancer is useful aswel.

It works perfectly, terrain wise, excluding the cliff tilesets at times. I've never had a corrupted map from WEU, and I've been using it for a long time (1+ years, recently switched back to WE when I started spell making.)

However, if you decide on coding, use JNGP or normal WE.

dont eva use UMSWE, it sucks

Whats UMSWE?

disable the antivir before you install, then add it to exceptions, then turn it on again...

My anti virus won't let me disable it manualy, maybe if I temporarily remove it from the windows start up I might be able to install it, I read the readMe and it looks like a right pain to set up tho, sounds realy complicated.

still I preffer to use normal WE for less trouble...

lol? WE is awful for terraining, no way to get round anoying and uneeded terrain limits, if your a serious mapmaker you must atleast use some kind of addon?

Well I wouldnt know where to start with coding. Thanks for all the replies everyone! I'll stick with WU for now but I'm fast approaching my doodad limit so I think a switch to JNGP is inevitable.
