editor names don't save? wtf???

[Turminator8]

So I'm having this problem with a .mod I'm making. I organized it by adding stuff in the Editor - Editor Prefix box, but when I try and load that mod in a new map, it's not saving and some of my data objects change their name.

WTF blizz... can someone help me? I'll post some pictures if it helps.

This is what I had..

WTF

Obviously you changed something, the data source changed between the screenshots.

I took a screen shot of the wrong map
but basically, if i open up the mod file (desert.mod) it shows everything fine, however if I load it as a dependency in another map, all the editor names and such are lost and it looks like scrn shot 2

Read tutorials on dependencies, they're pretty messed up if you don't do the exact right thing when importing them.

no luck...

It looks like the localization data for the editor is missing in the second screenshot.

Check if all the data is still present ingame. The editor has a dependiencies bug where it does not accuratly load dependiencies (to reflect ingame logic).

UPDATE: I've discovered why the names of the data changed... it seems as if the ID is being used for the name itself. SO like all my neat a pretty parentheses and stuff is lost when put into the actual name because it's only saving/using the ID.

now.. does anyone know why this is and if there's a fix?

Names are all localized strings. Thus only a path to them is stored with the data, the actual text is in a separate localization specifc file. If it is failing to load the localized text (eg, if the mod was made by a US person and your using the UK client) then I guess it would exhibit that behaviour. You should still see a valid localization path if you use raw data view for all the "missing" fields, normal view probably hides missing localized text.

i don't get it... now it just suddenly worked...
