Return Bug

[Radicool]

Simple question. I was wondering if anybody has created a system, code, trigger or program that can fix
or assist somebody (noob) in fixing a return bug?

I tried this but i didn't fully understand how to implement it (or if it even fixes it):

Post the code or war3map.j

For faux handle vars, you basically replace the functions with the same names in your script with the ones in the faux handle vars script.

I know it is against the rules, but I deprotected this map. My intentions are to fix, not to steal or modify. The
GUI triggers were not restored, but everything was written in jass. I hope you can make sense of it.

If you managed to help fix this, I would be very grateful and credit you in the map.

Edit: Removed attachment

Sorry, I am running a mac so I sadly can't open it at the moment.

Can you extract the war3map.j? Or can you go to the map header (open trigger editor, click map's name where the triggers are listed. a bunch of code should appear in the trigger window) and copy and paste it here? Sorry, my windows comp takes ages to start up.

Had to zip it becuase it exceeded the upload limit. Hope thats ok.

Edit: reuploaded correct .j file

Try this out. I didn't check it for syntax errors, I hope it works.

If I did not make any mistakes, it should at least allow you to run the map. I can't guarantee that everything will work, but I hope it will.

If you get any syntax errors, post what errors appear. If the map still does not open, let me know.

I deleted the old war3map.j file, then added the war3map.j file you posted with the MPQ editor. Unfortunately,
I still get the many errors upon saving the map, I couldn't use the "test map" feature either.

Is there something I did wrong or?

 

[PurgeandFire]

That code is the old code. I'm not sure why the new code didn't register. Make sure you imported it into the map's MPQ while WE was closed. Try reimporting it (while WE is closed) and see if the same errors pop up. They shouldn't.

It's strange. The Old map size is 167KB. When I delete the old war3map.j and add the new war3map.j,
it becomes 193KB. So, the new war3map.j is inserted properly. I do this all when world editor is closed.

When I open the map, the war3map.j is untouched, however when I hit the "save" button, I receive the
errors and the map size reverts to 165KB. So a new war3map.j file is created, replacing the existing which
corresponds to neither the original or your war3map.j file. I can replace the map with your war3map.j file
again, but the map reverts back to 165KB no matter how many times I try it.

Ah, seems some others have had the same problem.

Tomorrow I'll look into the problem a bit more. For now, you'll probably need to wait. Sorry. I'll open the map in my other comp tomorrow and hopefully I will get it to work.

 

[Radicool]

Ok thanks.

Here is the fixed map. Most things seem to be working, I did not test it 100% though. I just saw if the map saved properly, opened properly, and actually ran the triggers properly.

 

[Radicool]

Ahh, thanks very much, works perfectly. There was some missing data like missing players and forces, map description and the text in triggers was corrupted, but that was probebly a side effect of the deprotection. I spent some time filling it all in.

I have creditted you in the map, directing all credit to you for fixing it. Thanks again
