Map Error for every map i make...

[zerox144]

Every time i start making a map, i am able to edit it. After about a total of 10-20 hrs (reopening and testing map) of editing the map, i open it from the folder it was in, and an error pops up either saying "Main map file cannot be opened" or "Level data missing or invalid" i've been recently using maps w/o imported models hoping it mite help, but it doesnt. if anone knows how to fix this, plz help. (i can open it once in the Test folder, but once i shutdown reopen it to edit next time, there is an error again.

This ony happens if you edited the file with the Windows Text Editor or if you have invalid Jass Codes or invalid Triggers, maybe you should overlook your map with a syntax checker out of the ressource section. (But you can open it in WE ??? If you can't, then reinstall Warcraft 3).

Can u attach it to the post.
Hope that i could open it

how i attach map to post? also the map doesnt opn in WE, nor can i play it in custom games on wc3. however i can open very first saved versions of map b4 it is considered FT map, but that is just like 30 min of mapmakin. also i doubt it triggers, cuz i test them continuously until there nuthin wrong (i dont kno how to JASS), since the maps dont hav errors until i close them and reopen.

try saving diferent map files every 10 mins. If one crash, you can open the older, and find what you did wrong.

Other thing that can make this happen is the use of corrupted models. (models with wrong geoset animations, or animation sequences with the same starting and ending numbers.)

how can models do it, if i am using models provided by blizzard w/o ANY importing... and isnt making multiple maps of the same thing a little tidious... that could take up lots of memory

In modern programming, you don't have to care about memory or HDD space, everyone has loads of that..... no seriously, if you want to find out what is wrong, you should save as many versions as possible and then compare the last working with the first corrupter

And what ver of WE are you using. WEO or something else? Cuz that could explain the problem.

 

[zerox144]

i am using the WE version that comes wen u install WC3, it jsut gets updated wenever Bnet updates

Hm, if you dont use custom World Editors... Everything in the map is created Blizzard?
Then, thats just wierd, maybe you did something wrong.
