So anyway, I've found out that THE WHOLE problem about this game is the outerspace tile replacing the Lordaeron Dirt tile makes the game go FATAL ERROR to majority of Warcraft users (without -open gl)...

Now, why is this a problem? Because its the outerSPACE GROUND TILE!!! Its not replaceable... My game is all about outerspace... What should I do? Is there something about replacing ground tiles that I should know about except typing the location of what you want to replace?

Try it yourself... If it says FATAL ERROR and Warcraft crashes, simply remove the Lord_dirt.blp...

Thank you...

Should I?

-Make a new BLP
-Change the tile to replace instead of lord_dirt.blp
-Change compression or ect of space tile

yep what now?

I dont understand, why do you want to replace the tile?
Edit: I just replaced the tile on my pc with rough dirt, it worked fine.

Replacing a warcraft tile to a custom tile is the only way to make the ground look like space...

Anyway, YA, I know that if you replace the tile with a warcraft tile it will work, but thats not what outerspace looks like right? And btw, it only crashes on some computers...

I still dont get the problem

Sorry but I'm suppose to be sleeping at this time.. :ugly:

Anyway... Its like this:

I created a map which is about SPACE WARS... You build barracks and ect on open SPACE...

So I found this tile that looked like SPACE which I then replaced it with Lordaeron's Dirt tile...

But I found out that it causes a FATAL ERROR which happens to some computers... Especially the ones the doesn't use OPEN GL...

I then soon found out that any tile I import will result to a FATAL ERROR...

Now, I EXPERIENCED this before... And it might just be a MDX file that causes the FATAL ERROR...

NOW What?

Create an empty W3X map. Get WinMPQ, open your map with it and export all the files except your SPACE tile to the empty map you created (your map won't lose anything exported, it will be copied). Now: go to HTTP://WORLD-EDITOR-TUTORIALS.THEHLPER.NET/ and find out how to draw your OWN tile yourself, just draw a darkness with white dots. I know that you'll need Warcraft III Image Extractor ... to have arthas' icon and draw him a beard... (I really doubt you'll need warcraft III image extractor for something else but to convert files from TGA to BLP.)
Well, just draw your own SPACE using tutorial from the site and import the file you get the way you know...
