Water Pathing is completely gone

[Gekigengar]

Well, i don't understand how this happen.

but the water pathing is completely gone.

my units can go walking on deep water like its a ground pathing,

Even if they aren't amphibious type. they walk as if its nothing.

my trigger that detects water pathing fail to work. (it works everyday before.)

and somehow now i can target serpant ward on deep water. (its not supposed to happen).

my map is completely normal yesterday, now it became like this...

i don't know what happen, its been a long project, and i feel dumb if i had to restart the project.

D:

anyone ever experience the same thing?. anyone knows how to fix this?.

i am using normal WE, i repeat, NORMAL WE, no errors like this is supposed to happen ! D:
pathing failure? WTH..i am stressed +__+

and look, i could make randomly cool terrain with just raising the field..

wth happen !?!?! its not WEU or anything, i can raise my terrain level like hell. ( and i never used them.)

Did you import any...say .txt files?

 

[Gekigengar]

nope...not at all...

 

[GhostThruster]

Modified the MPQs in any way?

As far as I know, the only thing that can distort the WE's pathing is .txt files like 'war3mapMisc' and editing the MPQs.

 

[Gekigengar]

i don't really remember, but i guess i ever opened that (though i didnt edit anything)
do you have the original file? maybe i could try replacing mine with that one.

war3mapMisc that is.

i don't know if its related, but it kinda stopped (for somehow, long enough.) when "Saving Map Archives". and continue after a while.

The terrain has nothing to do with pathability. Pathing is stored in the pathing map file while water is stored in the .w3e file.

What obviously has happened is the editor has fogotten to enforce its fake pathing relationship with the terrain.

You can always modify the pathing map manually.

 

[Gekigengar]

then how do you repair this..?

now my ground units can pass waters like it was a ground..

help me Dr Super Good.

i tried resaving, reinstalling, not a result.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Like I said, manually edit the pathing map file.

It is prety much a 8 bit mipmap of demensions 4*x and 4*y where x and y are the map demensions. It has some sort of header but thats only a dozen odd bytes.

 

[Gekigengar]

where can i open that? where can i find the pathing map file?

and after you open it, what do you do?

EDIT :

i mean, cmon guys, this map is like the most important out of the three maps i am making.

the 2 other maps was like mini-game, and this is my main project !, without the water, this is ruined.

i really need the help here D: .

anyone care explaining how to do the things he said?.

FCK BLIZZARD !! YOU RUINED MY MAP OMG.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i spend a lot of time on this, sacrificed a lot on this. WTFFFFFFFFFF.

move to sc2

Kidding, well.. there's nothing to it than to start over, try to salvage something..

 

[rysnt11]

Can we see the ground unit walking on the water?
Or maybe you can send me the map via pm
I'll try to fix that

 

[Gekigengar]

the ground don't walk on water though. +__+, they go inside the water. (just like there is no water at all, its acting like its a ground.)

And one other thing i notice was, the purple pathing which is supposed to exist in deep water isn't there. its just gone o.o weird.

why did WE suddenly goes error like this, i don't understand D:.

i will send you the map if you want, but don't laugh, those triggers are like 2.5 years old.

now its totally diffrent. (check out the map at my sig).

anyways, this is the main project i will be doing for hive, the other 2 project i am doing is a mini game i came across while building this.

and if this map is destroyed, and there is no way to salvage it, i will give up mapping and move on to sc2 i guess.

rysnt11, i guess you should try saving it on your WE, and send me back, maybe it will be fixed?.

or anyone has MiscData.txt? thx for the care.

 

[Dr Super Good]

why did WE suddenly goes error like this, i don't understand D:.

Because it is not an error, it is obeying pathing laws perfectly. Just its fake terrain pathing relationship is not holding.

What will fix it is probably something as stupid as removing 1 tile of water and then readding it as it might force the editor to fill the water pathing onto the pathing map again.

Or you could if nescescary do a low level pathing map edit.

that didn't do a thing.

anyways, rysnt11 said he fixed it for me, thx for it, i am really grateful to you !

 

[kent]

And how he fixed it ??

I'm having same problem on one of my maps and i can't let it die and blocking the coast is sad. ..

 

[Dr Super Good]

Like I said, try changing water cliff levels a bit at some area of the map. With any luck it should cascade the pathing change to the whole map to match the fake relationship enforced by the editor.

Simple solution
1. Use jngp
2.Open your map using jngp
3. Save it
4. Done

Hope this help
