[Crash] Trying to open an old map

[SkriK]

I get this error:

Is there any work-around?

It is a WEU (world editor unlimited) add-in. In order to open that map you need to use WEU, and I am not sure if it has any compatibility with the latest version of WE. Your best bet is pretty much to make another install of wc3, then patch it to a version that's compatible with WEU and then run it, you will definitely be able to open it. But first try to see if WEU works with the latest release of wc3.

Can't even seem to get WEU working properly

I extracted the triggers using an MPQ tool.
Is it possible to edit out?

 

[FRENGERS]

Use what you use to open that old map

Know i'm not SkriK, but...

Can't even seem to get WEU working properly

I so love it when people don't read what's happening.

There is one way to fix this although it is a bit tedious depending on the map.

Follow this tutorial:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/modding-we-trigger-editor-52529/

Basically, you make those functions exist. You export a TriggerData.txt from your mpq and then put it in your Warcraft III\UI\ folder. (if you don't have one, create one) Then you can just add the functions you need.

In your case, the first function you'll create will be MultiboardMinimize. Once you've added it to TriggerData.txt (make sure your WE is closed when you add these), you can try opening the map again. It will probably show another function, then you can add that. Do this for each function. It is really tedious, but it will eventually allow your map to be opened. Afterward, you should replace all those instances of custom functions.

Once you've replaced them all, you can feel free to delete the custom TriggerData files, and that means that it should be able to be opened by anyone. Good luck. I'll post a sample later if I get time.

Otherwise, if you know if the author/you used EGUI or WEU, you may want to try enabling that and see if you can replace it that way.

native MultiboardMinimize takes multiboard lb, boolean minimize returns nothing

I see no problem why it should not load but well I have no experience with WEU but maybe you have something with your game. You could try reinstall it

The problem isn't that the native doesn't exist. That error shows up when the GUI function corresponding to it doesn't exist. AFAIK there is one for GUI that executes the BJ version but WEU might've changed it to use the native version instead.
