Trying to save a map in Editor and gets Script Error all the time! Help!

[StormChaser]

I have been making maps now and then for the last few years. The maps has always saved properly without any problems. The computer I uses has always had a earlier version of the Editor. Recently I updated Warcraft III to the latest patch, v.1.26. Things worked fine until yesterday. The mapmaking were going well but my computer crashed several times. The computer isn't the best but it can run Warcraft 3: 2GB RAM, 2.2 single-core CPU, 256 MB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 3200, DirectX 9, 320 GB HardDrive. I think it crashed due to over-heating or that the Single-Core CPU couldn't keep up. It happens now and then that my computer crashes, mostly because of too high graphics options.

However since yesterday every time I try to save a map, I get a Script Error window during "Compiling of map archive". I can't even make a basic, very simple, map! I don't know what to do. Is there anybody who could give me some solution on this problem please? All I can think of is to uninstall and re-install everything.

Edit:
Here's the Script Error Window for a Basic 1vs1 map with a few Neutral Hostiles (2 Ogre Warrior, 1 Ogre Magi, 1 Ogre Mauler, 1 Ogre Lord) in the middle:

if you cant save ANY map you just gotta reinstall the shit

 

[StormChaser]

I tried re-installing but I still get compile errors. I'll try to use a registry cleaning but if that doesn't help then I gives up.

EDIT. Well I know what the problem is now. It's the patch. I could save in both Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: Frozen Throne but once I patched it up I couldn't use the editor anymore. I suppose it's because the patch is either bad or Windows 7 isn't compatible. I have a legal copy of the game and I patched via Battle.net I suppose I have to either downgrade to be able to make maps, patch up to a patch before things stopped working or wait for a patch which will fix the issue.

The patch is causing the trouble. Once I patched up I couldn't use the Editor anymore. I have tried to uninstall and re-install twice now. Is there any way to work around that issue?

Do you have NewGen and are you current using WE Vanilla? If so, NewGen will semi screw up WE Vanilla due to the files it generates if you have it in the main wc3 directory.

I got both Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne installed. The CD's are a bit old though. The original version of Reign of Fire on my copy is v.1.00. It's a legal copy, Best Seller Series version. I could use the editor with both programs installed before I patched up to patch 1.26 or 1.27 via Battle.net

I don't know what NewGen is...

Edit. I have been testing to see which patch screw things up. So far I got WC: RoC on patch 1.90b and no problems with Editor. I can't find the Unit - Damage Area action but I suppose it's a Frozen throne action.

If you installed Wc3 Reign or chaos first then The Frozen Throne and updated your Wc3: The Frozen Throne Via Battle.net (online through Wc3) then nothing should go wrong if you are trying to save a blank map.
If you did what I said correctly then everything should be running just fine. If not download the whole game through the Blizzard website with your CD Key(I haven't done this myself although I have heard several time that this can be done).

 

[jrhetf4xb]

set u = CreateUnit( p, 'nogr', -334,2, -138,4, 196,409 )

Real numbers are represented with dots, not commas.
Thus: the correct one is p, 'nogr', -334.2, -138.4, 196.409
Fix all the lines with CreateUnit.


EDIT: Wait, I didn't read almost anything from your first post... I guess it's an editor issue if it deliberately puts commas there..

Thanks for the input. However that was one of the first things I tried and it doesn't work. Even if the map is blank, Player Locations and Camera Bounds causes script errors because it puts them pesky " , " everywhere. Previously to patch 1.21a.- 1.22a there wasn't any problems. Now it's always problems. It's doing my head in.

Yeah I'll try to download it from Blizzard and see if that helps. But as the problem lies in a patch I am not sure it'll help. But I can try.

Thanks anyway.

Same paradox !!!

I have the exact same error.
I use windows 7.
Wc3 German.
But i tried already to reinstall with english and other language versions.
From different sources.
Even with a format of the hdd.
Different patching methods.
I looked up the whole registry.
Compared files with other systems.

But without any effect.

When i install 1.21b RoC and TfT everything works fine.
As soon i patch one version higher i get whenever i save a map a script error!
I mean all maps! From blizzard, custom, ladder a Scrpt error when saving.
Cause when the script is beeing created. it appears to be not vaild for the patch version higher than 1.21b till 1.26.
I can save but my file is currupt untill a friend reloads and resaves it on an english former installed version of Wc3 which has right now 1.26.

Which is a paradox for me and the other guy that created the post.

Maybe someone can help us!


Thank you in any case!

A friend of mine also run World Editor on Windows 7. Sure he just recently patched but so far he doesn't have any problems. However he has a 32 bit version while I got 64 bit. It's possibly that may be the cause of trouble.

However there's a solution to the problem! At least that's what worked for me. I downloaded the JNGP editor which is a modded version of the Editor with better JASS support and options. I also changed in my Language Settings so that the system uses . instead of ,
It's under Control Panel > Clock, language and national options > National options and language configuration > "Additional settings..." under the Format tab. (I tried to translate the path to to best of my ability. I hope it's good enough!) There you can change the decimal sign from , to . Then you save the settings via Implement in all dialogue windows. That was what worked for me anyhow. Tell me if it works for you!
I also cleaned the registry with CCleaner. That didn't help at first but I figured I could add that anyway.

I believe that the reason we both have trouble is because both our languages has the same roots. At least that's what I've heard.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Change the local decimal deliminator to '.' instead of ','. This is done in the control pannel under Region and Language in the additional settings... window. You will need to apply it and then restart your computer.

This is caused by WarCraft III coupling the automatic script generation with the OS localization yet JASS itself as a language is not localized. In germany and some places the ',' is used as the decimal point which JASS cannot handle. In the UK and other places the '.' is the decimal point which is what JASS is designed for.
