Unprotecting a map to fix the return bug.

[zabava12]

Some time ago I used to play a map with mates, this one: http://www.mapgnome.org/map-info/45051

The problem is that now I cant host it anyome, when I try to host it im thrown back to the map selection screen; that is the return bug. I read that it's not hard to fix it, but the problem is that this map is protected and I don't manage to unprotect it. I am looking for some help; could anyone with knowledge about this help me unprotecting/fixing the map, please?

Thanks.

You'll have better luck asking the guys that unprotect DotA to make e.g. Imba or Fun versions.

Where can I find them?

I've deprotected the map. Download link Unavailable.
Now you will have to promise me (and everyone else here) that you:
1) Only use it to FIX the issue.
2) Do not use your name in the map, except for maybe a small side-note saying you fixed it to make it work for patch 1.24+ in some Quest-page.

I'd be seriously disappointed if you used it for your own good.

Thank you, I will check it as soon as I have time (maybe tomorrow). I'm not a map stealer, I won't steal the map, dont worry.

PD: I'd even say you to remove that link just in case some map stealer is reading this thread; already downloaded it.

OK, I can open the map, but I have no idea how to fix the return bug, I don't get it; I have no idea about JASS.

return bug is this:

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

Either replace all references to H2I with GetHandleId(handle) or just do this

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return GetHandleId(h)
endfunction

just search for it in triggers.
Also not only this, everything that is around the same but with different things is return bug(basically 2 returns after each other)

Already tried that but my worldedit crashes when I save the map after doing it.

EDIT: Reinstalled WC3 and still crashes.

Learn JASS and try again in a years time.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Are you using JNGP?

 

[zabava12]

I modified it in the trigger code in World Edit, but that's not the problem; every thing I do and then save makes my worldedit crash at "saving world script" or something like that...

its ok bro there are other good maps out there that are not bugged for you to play.

You know, another solution would be to downgrade your Wc3 when you want to play this map. You can have an old and a new Wc3 along each other on the computer for old and new maps.

 

[zabava12]

No, I need to fix it, I want to play it with mates on this version...

Up--

 

[gorillabull]

well go learn jass and fix it lol >.>

 

[zabava12]

Man I know how to change it but I get an error, can someone help me?

 

[gorillabull]

if you knew how to change it you would not get an error

 

[TwoVenomous]

Are you using JNGP?

you haven't try to answer people's question

 

[zabava12]

It gives me an error cause I have no fucking memory... can someone please tell me how? The guy who unprotected it, could you fix it? It's easy its just that it doesnt work for me...

 

[ap0calypse]

I recently installed some new hardware in my PC and I lost the map (along with many others) in the process.
Generally, fixing the problem shouldn't be hard, but I know that I will probably mess it up (I can try though).

Can you post the war3map.j?

Open the map with an MPQ editor and then extract the war3map.j. Send it to me via PM or post it here and then send me a PM to notify me when you've done it.

 

[zabava12]

Sent the map to you by PM.
