Widgetizer 1.9.0.3

[PitzerMike]

The only thing it protects in a way is your object editor data.
Otherwise no. You should use Map Optimizer in combination with this if you want your map protected too.

How I use this??

 

[Storyyeller]

This tool is awesome. I use it on every map.

This tool seems to be great for what it is intended to do, it does exactly that; However, I am having an issue in my map, where I have roughly 350, give or take a few, custom hero abilities, most of which have 5 ranks. The problem is that when I compile the ability data, 3 of these abilities no longer have tooltips for ranks 1 and 2, they are replaced with a ".", and at ranks 3 and 4 they show parts of the tooltip, but not the whole thing, making it incoherent, and at rank 5 the whole tooltip is finally there.

In addition to those three abilities, 1 ability doesn't show up anymore at all. Obviously, I can't release a map with an improved load time but some broken/nondescript abilities - So does anyone know how I could manually exclude these 4 select abilities from being compiled? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I read the readme, but saw nothing referencing this, or whether or not it could be done. Thanks in advance.

-NeverDeath.

Edit: Regardless of my problem, I am going to give this resource a 5/5, because I'm fairly certain there is a solution to my problem, and the load time reduction through data compilation to SLK files is amazing.

Edit 2: Figured it out. Nevermind, great program. +rep.

Widgetizer problem

Hello,
maps used Widgitizer may blocks other maps on Batlenet.

For example HordeVsAlliance by Wooj can blocks other becouse it used Widgitizer, probably deleting unused doddads and destructibles.
In other map you want play right after HvsA you will see, in points where doddads should be, coloured boxes. That probably will split players (cause desync).

So, please tell me how to fix this. If popular map use Widgitizer in a way to block other maps. Is there a way to reload deleted destrucibles and doddads ? Its not right to produce tool like that which not allow players to try new map.
Of course player can restart Warcraft, but who will do that, lol?

So does this like decrease the map size?

 

[HesitationSnow]

It does, but not as much as optimizer.
Main purpose is faster loading time.

When you say faster loading time, do you mean faster loading in the Editor or in-game?

 

[Kamulec]

in-game

 

[pred1980]

A question.... how to use:

1. Protect the map with Vexorians Tool and
2. Use Widgetizer on this protected file OR

1. Use Widgetizer on the unprotected file and than use the output file and
2. run Vex. Optimizer?

 

[Kamulec]

Widgetizer first, Optimizer later.

 

[ownlyme]

this breaks my custom pathing maps.
is there a setting i have to change to make it work?
(removed checkbox on units and works again)

 

[AnonymousPro]

I unchecked all the box and i'm using my own unprotected map.
It just keep showing Run time error '6', overflow.
what is wrong?

 

[Hotwer]

Is this working with the latest game version?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Any chance the source code for this is available?

Did you ever find the source for this? I have issues where certain tooltips are messed up, where if they share the same base ability, occasionally they cross each other. Just wondering if the source is available somewhere were something like this can be fixed.

[Ricola3D]

Are people nowaday still using Widgetizer ?
Does it still produce the desync bug on Bnet when you play different maps ?
It seems that the latest release is very old (and so the input SLK files should be too)..

Edit : it seems it is not working with patch 1.31.1 no ?

I'd like to know this as well. I used to apply Widgetizer and Vexorian's Map Optimizer to my maps in the past. The Map Optimizer thread has an according post clarifying which features still work.

Is there any similiar information regarding Widgetizer? Can we still use it with Reforged?

 

[Shido]

It seem like Widgetizer has trojan on it, at least according to Windows.

 

[Barade]

I think for Reforged somebody has to update all the SLK files. I get an out of memory exception for my map which uses really high hero ability levels. When I exclude the abilities there is no exception. I am not sure why this is a rar archive inside a zip file.
I get lots of files in the output directory. Does this directly modify the input map file or do I have to import all of these files into the map? I can still open the input map. The output files look rather empty so I guess it didn't work for a Reforged map.

I don't remember if Widgetizer removes/replaces Object Data in the map on its own, if it did the map should still work in WE anyway, I just use it for the output SLK and TXT files so I can load those as mods.
It works for 1.31, it should work for Reforged provided it's fed the right dataset in Input\, the one in the download is more than a decade old now. (1.21-ish)

I guess for your "out of memory" case you could try and see if changing "HashtableSizes" in its .ini file helps.
