anyone got this issue or know what to do?
or is miscdata no longer usable etc etc?

Probably gotta go to the registry and allow local files. There was a topic made this week about the exact problem

Are you using the latest patch? If so, try putting the UI folder with the misc data in a folder called War3mod.mpq.

I think one of the recent patches reset local file enabling to false, wherefore your miscdata.txt will not apply any functions.

1 You'd have to make sure your miscdata is present in your warcraft 3 installation folder and then subfolder UI (Warcraft III\UI).
2 Then open regedit and navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III"
3 Create a new D-word value (32 bit), named "Allow Local Files" and set it to "1".

This will bug out buff icons ingame (all buff icons are displayed as black) as long as in use, which is negligible i'd say.

For one reason or another, this isn't working on my side :\

Named War3.mpq or War3mod.mpq, in the Warcraft III folder or the x86 folder the editor moved to, it's not working :c

I did find in the regedit that my original change to add that line had been undone by the update, but even re-adding it and setting the value to 1 didn't restore the editor's unlimited cliff-height :[
