New Update Moved the Editor

[HerrDave]

Good news, the World Editor still exists, it's simply been moved.

It seems the new update moved the World Editor and changed the way it works a bit.

However, the old trick of making a folder called [War3.mpq] with a .txt file called UI containing a line which would enable you to make sharp cliffs-- no longer works.

I was making a custom map on 1.30

I just updated to 1.31 and now the map is a complete mess.
Custom strings gone or messed, triggers disabled for no reason. Map is dead. Months of work wasted.

 

[HerrDave]

Oh God

Myself I outsourced the scripts to my map, so I can't tell if they're destroyed or not

All I know is I won't be able to touch the terrain anymore, or this happens

 

[IamFierce]

Oh no! This makes me afraid to update. I’m going to certainly save an extra copy of my map before I open it with the editor! Sorry to heard the bad news for you guys. :/

 

[Volsungh]

I have a copy.

But since I cannot rollback to 1.30 it is not of great use.

I've just been hecking with Regedit and the War3.mpq/War3mod.mpq is not working - near as I can tell, unlimited cliffs are now endangered ;_;

Try putting your files in a folder with the name of war3.w3mod inside the Warcraft III directory.

No luck there, tried it as War3.w3mod and War3.war3mod by accident, didn't work in either flavor. :c

These new updates are frustrating, I mean I like the stuff they've added - but I wish they wouldn't change the mechanical bits inside so we can't edit it ourselves.

Try with no subdirectory. For example place the UI folder in the main Warcraft III folder.

^That's where it was when I tested it

Is it working for you?

(Right now it's 2:20 AM, so I'm off to bed)

I am sorry. But keeping backups of important files should be a must.
