Trigger Editor Problems

[Fud]

Well, basically any time i open trigger editor the program shuts down completely. sometimes its right away, sometimes when i click new trigger, sometimes when i click on any of the categories that appear. I have no clue why this is and trouble shooting would be nice.
my computer is a macbook pro if that matters at all.

Are you using a copied map? Does it work on an empty map? Are you using any third party tools?

Try uploading your map here, and we will have a look for you.

my computer is a macbook pro if that matters at all.

I am guessing you are running the OSX version of WC3? If so then such crashes are to be expected as OSX version of the editor is a lot less maintained than the windows version.

You can always pick up a cheap XP copy and virtualize it to run the windows version of WC3. You can get the windows version of WC3 free off your battlenet 2.0 account I believe (the lisences are for the game, and not the OS version it comes for).

Parallels 7 is good for running windows on Mac as they can now support up to 1GB graphics memory (way more than wc3 uses but oh well)

Parallels 7 is slow as hell... i have it though. So my map is an empty map i tried that but i discovered a way to work around it. If i disable the map before clicking it seems to not disconnect me. then i can reenable and all is good. no clue why but this works.

 

[Dr Super Good]

How do you disable a map? Disconnect you from what? Are you running the OSX version of WC3 or the Windows version of WC3?

We really need more information to be able to help you.

im running xp copy. i bought it at a mac store. i don't disable a map but i simply disable the trigger before i start to work on it and it prevents it from disconnecting me. whatever its working for me no clue why but it is so i dont really need help anymore

Parallels 7 is slow as hell...

What's the spec on your MacBook Pro then?

 

[Dr Super Good]

it prevents it from disconnecting me

You are running WE through a network?!

okay new problem (FML) now every time i try to launch any custom map through editor it says "unable to load file
'\{macpath03}\<map name>
-trigger data missing or invalid'
and doesnt load the map. This just started happening randomly one day and this really sucks cuz im almost done. It loads all files and finishes then comes up with message. no custom units spells triggers or any images appear. Once again im not running wc3 editor in any strange way. I got it from the mac store i believe its xp but its not osx so if those r the options then its xp. i havent changed any computer settings or map settings...

OSX = Mac Operating System
XP = Windows XP

If you have a mac, it's running OSX

Okay i figured out the issue with opening but now back to the old problem...

 

[Fud]

This is really getting me angry now. Once again it is auto disconnecting... This time its as soon as i try to create new trigger so i absolutely cannot work around it in any way. Has anyone encountered this problem in the past?

 

[Ultimatony]

What do you mean disconnecting? is the editor crashing?

Get a windows emulator, and run a windows version, or if you have a 2nd comp that is windows, use it.

 

[Fud]

yah i mean crashing sorry... it just quits instantly...

Try reinstalling your Wc3, as a corrupted file could be causing the problem.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Some GUI actions will just crash. This is because GUI is a badly designed piece of junk. An example of an action that will always crash is the hasthable save ability as the ability type it refers to is the real ability type and not GUI's fake integer ability type.

 

[Fud]

i dont use any hashtables... its prolly what death said. thanks

 

[Bribe]

Also using "convert to externalized string" will crash if you use the
"search for text" feature or try to open another map.
