[Import] WE immediately closing when loading up a map

[GreeN!X]

While I'm working on my map, I imported two models (Model of the Villager woman with two different skins), saved the map, then restarted the editor..

My problem is that when I opened my map again, the WE immediately disappears (No crash reports, No nothing) when it's loading Doodads (specifically when it's loaded about 1100 - 1200 doodads).

I can only load it properly when I open the latest non bugged version of my map, then the bugged version.. This problem started occuring when I imported those two models.. Can you guys help me find out what's my problem here?

BTW, When I succesfully opened the bugged maps, the two imported model are working properly.. But I think they are the ones causing this problem.. :/


EDIT: Uploaded the two Villager Woman models and a Doodad model just in case you need to take a look at it..

The villager woman and the doodad uses one texture..

Is it a EPIC PROJECT >.> ?

Is it a EPIC PROJECT >.> ?

not YET.... currently, it has about 5300 doodads and a few triggers so size is not the problem here..

The models work fine for me.

Make sure the texture paths are
VillagerWoman.blp
V2.2VillagerFemaleSimkitty181.BLP

This happens to me when i tried to open SotP for some codes.

VillagerWoman.blp
V2.2VillagerFemaleSimkitty181.BLP

Yep, the paths were right.. Tried removing the imported models but it didn't solve the problem..

This happens to me when i tried to open SotP for some codes.

Does it happen when it's loading the doodads too? maybe it's the same problem..

 

[EmoBrother]

Then... can you upload your map to here ??

I think the Doodad's path is the problem because it bugs up my map before

 

[GreeN!X]

Nah, not really.. all of my paths are correct and it only occured when I imported those models that I attached..

But, I'll attach my map in the main post just incase you need to take a look at it..

 

[Almia]

Doodads exactly.
I think i loaded 75% of the doodads until it closes automatically without message or warnings

Try optimize the map ! With w3 map optimizer.

 

[Almia]

^ Youre answer is too far out

 

[GreeN!X]

Try optimize the map ! With w3 map optimizer.

You do know that I'm still developing this map right? and Optimizing it will make it un-editable?

Hey guys, I tried opening it in JNPG WE and this warning message showed up..

Error

If I clicked yes, the map will load but will stop when it's loading about 1200 Doodads (same time that the normal WE disappears) then shows the error message at the left..

If I clicked no, the map will not load and instead show the error message at the bottom...

 

[EmoBrother]

Try to use WE unlimited to open it and see what will happen.

 

[Maker]

The Warning is a normal thing, nothing to worry about. It appears if the map was saved with the standard editor, and then opening it with JNGP. It is a non-issue.

Yeah, I guessed that, but what about the worldedit121.exe error?




Yelp.. ((

Hard to say but my guess would be a corrupted import. Are there some 0 kb imports, that is one way to detect corrupted ones. If an import is really small, it will show up as o kb but that's okay.

Do you think Mdx pather could corrupt things? I followed this tutorial [How to use different skins associated with the same model] and I think mdx pather is the one which corrupted the last two imports.. The way Mdx pather works is kinda suspicious... to me anyways..

 

[GreeN!X]

Hey guys, I tried testing the bugged maps and when they finished loading, TFT closed, like the WE, without any crashes or errors.. Now I'm getting desperate..

Though I think I have a solution but It would be a great hassle to do.. Since I've only been making the terrain and the only new imports I have are those two (Bugged?)Models I think I'll just c'n'p the terrain and doodads from the latest map into the last one that did not bug or into a new one.. But the problem is that I'm lowering / hovering doodads too much and c'n'p'ing will cause these doodads to reset to their normal heights.. Is there a way to prevent Doodad height resetting?

 

[GreeN!X]

24 hour bump.. Sorry, just need to solve this so bad..

Here attached the first map when it started to bug...

Note to SOME users: I'm only uploading this map for the problem not so that you can use it!

 

[Binsu]

Maybe it is corrupted but Maker can open this. So this might be the case, some Warcraft... I dont know why but when you uploaded a specific doodad, it will close without further notice or sometimes Crash or Fatal Error. Maybe this is your case. Like me, when I uploaded a model here in Hive, my map suddenly crashed but it can also be without further notice.

Your game is COMPLETELY CORRUPTED. Create a new one...

This is very obscure, but I had a similar problem. I have a campaign where certain maps would not work. I realized that what these maps had in common was a waterfall model. It was the regular WC3 waterfall and the only thing i changed was their color for the minimap. This may not be what you're looking for at all, but I would look at your custom doodads and make sure you haven't tried to set any of them to have a custom color on the minimap. Like I said, obscure, but it saved my maps.

EDIT: Ah hell, I just realized you can't open your map to do that anyway. Sorry man

I did have tree models with custom minimap color, but that's not the case.. I have been using custom colors of doodads since I started making this map and nothing happened, I guess it was those two models that corrupted this map..

and based on the previous comments.. I'll just have to start over with the uncorrupted maps.. anyways thanks to y'all

EDIT:
Oh, and I can still open it, I just have to open an uncorrupted map first then the corrupted one.. :3

That's good. Maybe you can still figure out what's wrong with it, who knows it could be anything

Well I hope you hadn't done too much and lost it all. I have gotten in the habit of making backups that I save before adding more imports. I usually save them before doing any custom script in my triggers too. Good luck with your project.

Well if thats the case let me suggest..if your planning to continue the uncorrupted one... EXPORT THE OBJECT FILES and ALL TRIGGER FILES from your Corrupted one...then AFTER ..xport it to your uncorrupted map.

Dude pls. follow this tips..

ALWAYS AND ALWAYS AND ALWAYS!...HAVE A COPY OF YOUR MAP!...every time you make a 30% progress!!!..in this way if your gets corrupted..it will be easy for you to begin again!!!...ALWAYS HAVE A COPY OF YOUR MAP!...

 

[deathismyfriend]

if u use JNGP then backups r saved periodically in the backup folder. that may help u not lose much of ur data and editing.

Dude please.. Don't use CAPS that much.. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE SHOUTING AT ME FOR NO REASON OKAAAYYYY????

and for your info, I'm already doing that.. I'm saving every 10 minutes.. but I just had too much progress in a short time that I wasn't able to save..

Anyways thanks fow da tips.. ;3

Okay, thnaks for the tip.. :3

 

[Binsu]

Well, a very good luck to you and hoping that your uncorrupted maps will not turn as the same fate with your corrupted map.

why no try reimporting it? (or what I am trying to say is download the model again from the net and import it again to get a ''fresh'' copy)

It wasn't downloaded. I extracted the model from the mpq and made it use the custom skin.. I guess during the process, the models got corrupted

 

[Marshmalo]

In terms of corruption, did you remove any geoset? If you remove a geoset but still have a geoset animation that refers to removed geoset the model will crash. My map kept randomly crashing in WE until I found which model was causing this, when you have 100+ models in your map thats no mean feat!

Also models with positive minimun extends and negative max extends will also cause corruption.

 

[GreeN!X]

Didn't change any of that.. I just extracted the model, used mdx pather then imported it.. Didn't really do much.. Anyways thanks for the tips/info.. I'll keep that in mind.. :3

 

[Marshmalo]

Maybe the program, mdx Pather somehow messed up other parts of the model. It's so easy changing paths anyway though, I use a combination of mangos model editor, WC viewer, mdl editor and a converter tool for my model editing.

Ok after I've listed down it does sound like alot of programs but works for me.
