World Editor Problem

[Sabelion]

Hey when I open my map that I am making I get the message http://img366.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wc3errorkt4.png

saying "Unable to load file C\Program Files\Warcraft 3\Maps\Test\Olivs Bana Dotalike.w3x,-Level Info data missing or invalid" and that is the location of my map but yesterday I coud open it and I dont want it all to be lost now

havent you used map optimizer?

 

[Sabelion]

Depends...what is map optimizer?

 

[Numerion]

special program to protect maps

 

[PatruX]

Or to optimize code and reduce map size.

 

[Sabelion]

Got nothing

So is my map lost now?

 

[PatruX]

Do you use any other editors apart from the standard one? WEU/UMSWE etc?

 

[Sabelion]

Nope just the one that was given when I installed Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne.
I like Oldschool

Okey, so I researched this problem a little and the only solution you might have of saving your map is to:

QUICKLY open the last tested map - it should be in: "Maps/Test" and its called WorldEditTest Map. This is the last tested map; if it's yours, then you're very lucky.

If not, learn to backup.

Well I got no WorldEditTest Map there so Its meaningless all my months of work is completely gone.... but thanks anyways

I think Im gonna quit map making after this because it sucks to lose it all!

I think that Linkin Park is singing about my map in the song in the end when they say
"I tried so hard to lose it all, in the end it doesnt even matter"

Hehe

+rep for trying

 

[Numerion]

dont quit map making cause you will maybe make best map in universe
and next time always have got two funktional saves

and "cry no more!!!!" (from system of a down: chup suey!)

 

[Sabelion]

Ok but it was my first map so I dont like map making any more

But your right I wont quit map making I have already started my next project!
It is gonna be unique, I got an crazy idea!

 

[Numerion]

i have got only two maps and in one of them i have deleted half of it and saved it (it was my error) in your map it was error of program

 

[Sabelion]

Thanks m8

 

[Numerion]

wait have you already deleted your map??????

 

[Sabelion]

Anybody know how I make a car race so that when a player press Arrow Key Left the players units face abit left?

Just a usefull thing I always do.
Lets say my map is called: Weee I add a extra thing like V0.000 to keep track of saves.
When I am gonan save I save it as Weee V0.001.
I add some stuf edit, and when I save I call it Weee V0.002.
This way I always have a back up if i end up screwing the game up somewhere or if stuf like this happens.
It's also good proof you're the original creator if somebody steals your map.
