After I created a spell, I tested it and it resulted in Warcraft 3 crashing.

When I tried to take a look at the spell via the World Editor, the editor immediately stopped working when I clicked on the "Abilities" tab of the Object Editor. And I have no idea why would it act this way.

I can't delete the spell now as the editor would stop working when I try to access the Abilities.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, which spell did you use and which fields did you modify?

As to fixing your problem:

- You could post the map here and see if someone else can deleat the ability for you. Long shot, but may work.

- Try opening your map and deleting the ability with a different editor.

- Use your backup. You should update your map after each save. If something goes wrong with your current, delete it and use your backup

I believe I created the spell based on "Earthquake", and I modified its AoE to 1000, I think.

I haven't tried opening it using a different editor, I'll try, thanks :)

Earthquake with massive AoE crashes games, though I've never seen the Editor crash when you modify Earthquake's AoE.

Ah, well, I guess I did put the AoE a little too much. Well I am baffled that the editor acted this way after I edited that spell... :vw_wtf:

It's not my map actually, it's someone else's map, I just wanted to edit it for fun (no intention to upload) and now it's ruined :(

Well I guess I'll upload the map here. I kind of forgot the name of the ability (I created it months ago, but I didn't really care about the error at that time, however, right now I hope it can finally be solved). The ability should be under custom Orc abilities, and I vaguely remember its name has something to do with "Shattering".

The map has some funny features though. If someone is able to delete that spell, that would be really nice.
