[General] Green screen of death

[JnM]

I've been making a short cinematic showcasing camera movement.

Starting yesterday, when launching game, the cinematic bars and game menu turn green (just for this map). I've attached a thumbnail.

I'm using traditional GUI triggering. I have not imported anything safe for an mp3 file. Looking over the (little) triggers I've done, I can't find the source of this issue.

I do have a lot of waiting time for camera purposes... but that shouldn't bug out the map, right?

• Was it working before?
• What version of the game are you making maps in?
• Did you download and play any significantly modified maps before this issue occurred?
• Did you try disabling filters and fog functions to see if they are the culprit?

1. Yes, there was about 30 seconds of cinematic triggers when it began doing this. I tried backtracking my trigger commands but that doesn't seem to fix anything.
2. I'm currently using 1.26. I don't think that's the issue though, as I've run into this problem about 15 years ago as well.
3. I downloaded and opened large scale cinematic maps through the WE. They had a ton of imported stuff.
4. Turned off Fog and filter effects, both in triggers and in the Map Options.

The game itself runs fine. It's just this particular map which causes this.

EDIT:
I figured it out. In Advanced - Game Interface, the cinematic border/game menu paths were changed to war3imported black border, even though I never imported those blps... The only explanation I have is that those paths were copied over from another map I had opened earlier... weird.

This happened to me many times; not just with Game Interface fields, but also with custom items, buffs and upgrades that somehow copy themselves into other maps.

Maybe something similar is why the Rexxar campaign now features units named "You are not paying me at all, little goblin".

This seems to be a pretty vanilla thing, because I don't have any extension/tools installed. Basically, if you're the type to open a bunch of different maps while you're working on yours, you're risking some kind of imprint. Has no one ever tried tackling this issue?
