What all is black? And if you open the triggers section is anything there?


Try to manually open the map file with the world editor file menu see if that helps. If it does it's probably just a registry problem easily fixed.

What do u mean with mannually couse so i gotta paste the file and then open it ?

When i open my World Editor its black to, but its just because its a Quick Start thing i guess, when i open another map or create a new, everything works fine with me =)

I think you start the "Quick Start" map where everything is black, even unit models and open a Spell Map, then try to put it to the map that was black.
If not, please tell a little more about the proplem =)

There cannot run 2 Warcraft III World Editors at a time, thats why it says "World Editor is already running".

If you edit a Variable in a spell map or by a mistake change a name in a spell, it will ask you next time you open this map again "Save changes to (Map)", then you say yes for keeping the changes, and no if you dont want to keep the changes you made.

You can also look on the Windows Joblist (If you are using Windows) and find "worldedit.exe" and click "Close Progres" if there is bugs in opening maps and then you can try again.

I dont know if any of this helped, 70% i was bored, but still you need to explain more and come with details to get fast response.

Edit: Manually is that you can find the Warcraft folder in the "C" drive and open a map from there i guess xD

1. Save the file to any location on your hard disk.
2. Open your world editor.
3. Click File menu in your world editor.
4. Click open Map in the file menu.
5. Find Your map and click open.

That should open the map. If not it should at least error and/or close world editor then you can find out whats wrong.
