Problems with WEU

[Lafeet]

Hey guys.....i made a map with the old WE. but now i want to open it with WEU1.20 but it doesnt let me.When i try to open it with WEU it says Triggering Data invalid.Its not because its protected because my map is not protected.Nothing is wrong with it.then i tried opening other maps but it says the same thing.Do i have to like update it or something? how do i open my map if WEU doesnt let me.please help.

Uhm ... Just use WE to open it? (If its not protected and created in WE, you simply can open it with it again.)
Sorry but you sound stupid, no offense .
And WEU doesn't work with the new patch of blizzard.

I would suggest not using WEU at all anyways.. WE is just as good and besides updates will remove any maps created with WEU so it is pointless.

 

[Karzvitch]

Yeah but what about when you want to use multiple tiles?

 

[VerizonGX]

Hah, i'd rather not have the extra little things, besides you can modify your tilesets on the original WE. Trust me WE is more unlimited than World Editor Unlimited itself.

lol WEU has so much things WE cant do .. but the size is always the main problem ..

Depents of YOUR skill in the WE ofcourse. Notice that WEU makes much imports into your map. How do you think the creator of WEU worked? He just CREATED extra options. Which u also can create if u are smart enough.
But anyway yes, don't use WEU. It is unstable and can cause troubles.

I said WEU's main problem is size and thats what you also said .. so whats the point of replying lol

My post has more information then yours ...

WEU just sucks. I once wanted to use it and it pissed me already off after 5 minuts.

Yeah i agree with Fl4mes WEU is a pain in the ass and pointless. If you ever get good enough with WE you can do just as much. Besides why waste time with WEU when your map will be removed when another patch comes out. In many directions WEU is no good and will confuse beginners when they have to go back to WE.

alot of smart people on this forum ^^

from what I know, WEU is just some sort of interface... if you do something in WEU that you think you can't do in WE, the WEU actually just does the things for you in WE instead of doing it yourself...
the only difference is: WEU can do things in 1 click that would require some intelligence to do the same in WE. BUT: if you do it in WEU, you have a large chance to put unwanted bugs in your map & increase filesize of it... that's because if you do something in WE, you think about it and always do the thing that requires the least mapspace. WEU doesn't think

Ur just doing something wrong .. ok i mostly only use it for tiny triggers which you havnt in normal WE like setting the strength of units to 0 or something like that .. WEU is capeable of doing at least SOME things good

Now, not all of these must be done in the World Editor of WEU. There is also a WE Enhancer that allows you to edit maps outside of the World Editor, doing things like: importing custom minimaps, loading screens, etc.; changing map size above 256x256; importing all data from other maps (objects, triggers, terrain, regions, etc.); adding up to 16 tiles; and other things. The ways that I use WEU, I do not need WEU to open the map. I can open it in the regular World Editor as well, so the patching doesn't matter.

I also don't see how it could possibly increase the size more so than would be done manually.
