HELP - question not resource

[slawter]

i'm not entirely sure where this goes so i'll request your help

i can't host on wc3, i have set the firewalls and stuff and i could host but a few months back a message comes up like 'too long filename or invalid characters' it happens everytime, anyone now who to stop this

You followed this tutorial https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f456/hosting-games-router-software-configuration-5888/

It shoud work, if it doesnt. then your router isnt supported :/ mine isnt supported either.

It worked for me...

i used to be able to host, but a few months back this started happening

and it happens with every map

 

[Warhunter]

lolz!! It's easy.. I know why. Because it has happend to me.
It's too long path for the map. That's why.

 

[slawter]

its not though i put a 4 character path name and it still happened

 

[Warhunter]

It's not the map path. the path for your wc3 game, and map. If you have it in C:/babalbalbalbl/blabal/blabal/alblabal/wc3/maps/downloads <--- Tooo long path
C:/blabal/balbal/wc3/maps/downloads <--- not too long path

Hope you understand..

 

[slawter]

i understand but it never used to happen and now it does

EDIT: it works i sorted out my maps and that made the filename to long

 

[Warhunter]

I have no idea what that may have happend...

 

[slawter]

thanks warhunter, i put them in folders so i could find them easier but that must have made the filename too long

 

[Warhunter]

Yes that's it! It's exatly what i did when it happends to me
