"Locked" Spell Rename

[AZ.AkeR]

Hey!

A while ago I've started working on a arena map, with custom heroes, stats, modells etc etc.
My job forced me to put it aside for a few months.. now I'm back.. but some of the spells I created don't work.

This will sound silly, but some of the abilities are not named properly in-game.
Inside WE all the names are ok, and all the triggers use the spell/buff and debuff names created by me. But once I start the game some of the names change back to their original names, like Berserk etc...

Whats even worst.. every new spell I create can be renamed inside the WE, but it won't be renamed in-game.. It keeps going back to its original name no matter what I do...

Any ideas how to fix it?

I think you are changing only editor name of ability.

Text - Tooltip - Learn
Text - Tooltip - Normal
Text - Tooltip - Normal - Extended

Change these fields.

Yup, that is most likely the case.

I wish it was that simple...

I remember that all the spells worked as intended.. including their triggers etc.
Now they don't because names do not match...

 

[Vinz]

Maybe you put the wrong ability on the units?

-> Uhm, spells are recognized by the game using their rawcode (ID), it has nothing to do with the name... so unless you did something that can cause the rawcodes to go amok, this shouldn't happen... or your WE or wc3 is corrupt...

Yeah, I think that Adiktuz is right, looks like the file is corrupted..

Older version of my map works just fine. For example: "Thunderstorm" a custom ability I created for the map, that wonders around the map and lightning strike enemies close to it works ok.
But in the new version, its a Berserk button...

I think I will go back to the version that works, and re-create all the spells and models...
..it shouldn't take long, I know how to create all the triggers, I have the models and effects ready...
...but this time I will create more backup saves!

Thanks for the help=)

I recommend JNGP for backing up maps.

 

[Adiktuz]

yeah, it autoback-ups your maps...
