This is sort of weird, when i save my map, and test it the game just goes to the custom game list not the start menu. What could be the problem?
 
Using NewGen? Where did you save it? As in, which window? Save it a couple of times in the main editor window before trying to test. I have had this happen before, but usually another try or two got it working.

Yes NewGen. In a Folder Outside the Wc3 Folder (usually works with maps).

The list i mean is the one with melee maps, and scenario maps etc...
 
What have you tried thus far? Tried saving the map, closing the WE and reopening? Can you actually load the map manually?
 
Im having the same problem with newgen, but i posted as thread in blizz tech support section, but anyway... I tried to host my map that i was having the same problems with on bnet and it says "game not found" and when you go to play it offline and you press the start button it will act like its going to the loading screen, and then just come right back to the map selection screen. The only way my map is playable manually is if its in the test folder for newgen.... any other folder (including the original file) don't work. Probably the patch causing this?

edit: I also tried opening it with reg WE and saving / testing but that didn't work either. weird thing is unlike you i can test it through WE.

EDIT2:I Fixed it! :D I just renamed my map a shorter file name.... but the name in WE is still the same.

Also someone posted this in my thread and it let me be able to test with newgen, disable the "Reinventing the Craft"

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
