Not a request, just a question

[Sverkerman]

Now, this might be posted in the wrong section, if so I apologize.

However, I updated my map Bosses of Warcraft here 4 days ago with a new version and the map preview wont show, why is that? It showed before the update.

Help is highly appreciated.
Here is a link http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/bosses-warcraft-0-5-prot-180731/

Thanks.

I can see the minimap... or does it have a custom preview...

anyway, this should be in the bugs section I think...

Meant the Costum Preview...

Where is the bug section?

 

[Adiktuz]

at the Site-Discussion forum, there's a sub-forum there for bug reports... apparently there have really been bugs with the previews, but at least right now, the other sections are showing the previews (before, it was pure black)...

Did you check the imported file and the game interface? Does the custom preview work on war3 and not on THW?

Correct.

Then all you need to do is set the custom preview on hive...

 

[Adiktuz]

the custom preview on hive is the custom preview you have on the map (what you see on the lobby)... and that thing doesn't seem to work right now on the maps section...

If you think there is a separate option for Custom preview for maps on the maps section, then I could say that you neither even submitted one map nor at least tried to click the submit button because there is no option like that...

When will this bug be fixed? I am losing thousands of downloads each day...

 

[InfernalTater]

We can't exactly fix the bug unless you give us an unprotected version. Unless the "Prot" in the name of the map is a lie.

Tell me who to send it to. It is indeed Protected

 

[InfernalTater]

Well how the hell are we gonna fix the problem if we can't see the inside of the map. Send it to me and I'll check to see what the problem is. If you're worried about the map being stolen, import empty unit data and clear out your triggers, then pastebin the map so we can look the map options, interface, and imported content without actually having the map.

it's Hive problem, not his map. If you took a look at map section, you would notice that all newer maps don't have a preview.

lol thousands...
Why do you think would missing preview make people not download your map? Even if it does have effect, it's not that great.

65% of my rep contains following text:
-Nice map preview!

Boss mode games is a minority and the public is in fact screaming for them.

Connecting Bosses of Warcraft with it's preview screen is key for a successful introduction.

I took a look at your recent rep gain, none of them commented on preview
I think it doesn't matter that much, though you can't do anything about it since

it's Hive problem

I think this has been already reported - the bugging preview images.
