[General] Editing While Test Map Open

[tulee]

Hi guys,

I know this is a dumb question, probably so silly that when i searched for any similar issues nothing came up on hive. Basically even though i have been using the world editor for quite a while, i have always been opening my map in test map, then closing it and fixing errors. As time has progressed, however, i am trying to increase efficiency, which demands that i explore the possibility of making changes in my world editor while the test map is open. I just want to know if doing so will create errors, or if the testmap, once launched, is completely independent from the world editor.

Again, i apologize for this question.

You can edit and whatever, but when it tries to save and overwrite the file it will give an error because the file is still open in Warcraft

I think the map is saved into maps/test/WorldEditTestMap.w3x when you test it. Editing/saving the original map is no problem. However if you want to save this maps/test/WorldEditTestMap.w3x map, you will get an error. Because this is the map file that is used by the game.

That was changed with some 1.28 version this year, the temp testing map is not anymore inside the warcraft 3 map folder. It is now inside C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Local\Temp\Maps\Test\
