World Editor Save Problem

[Daze420]

i am using roc's editor and im currently editing a map..when i save it and test it..it works fine..but when i try and host the map..it doesnt work..no1 is d/ling..also i clicked on properties and it says its an w3x file..the other normal maps says its a warcraft 3 scenario..can anyone help me out?

this problem is unlikely to have anything to do with your map, and more to do with your connection. do you have a firewall or router installed? both of these often cause problems with this sort of thing.

yes im using a router but ive edited maps before w/o any problems..actually it wont even let me save now..any suggestions?

edit: sometimes my world edit wont load because it says i dont have divx8.1 but i do..i tried to install it but it tells me im updated..also my screen is set to 32bit..im not sure why this is happeneing either

I also have that problem on my cousin's computer. He has ROC without the expansion. We tried editing a map and it gets saved as an expansion (Frozen Throne) map. When we try to host it, the map doesn't even show up because it's an expansion map and he's using ROC. It's strange.

In your case, you can load the map and stuff, it's just that nobody is joining. You probably need to open up some ports.

maybe you misunderstood me..i can and have hosted games..when i test the map by myself everything works fine..all the edits are there..but when i try and host it people join but no1 is d/ling which means something is wrong with the save correct?

also when i save it the file it is a .W3X file and it doesnt save as a scenario map..hopefully i can resolve this issue asap..my friends are waiting to play it

oh wait, i understand now.

yeah there's some stupid problem in the editor where some RoC objects (some units or items or something) have been "flagged" as expansion-only objects. Therefore, when you try to save your map, the editor magically decides it is a TFT map and gives it a .w3x extension. This occurs regardless of whether you have TFT or not, since the 1.10 patch made the two editors share code to some degree.

I'll see if I can get more info on this.

Interesting...

ok, some info I have gleaned:

- the fel warlock is mistakenly flagged as expansion-only

- same goes for beserk ability

- umswe apparently causes it too: remember to get rid of third-party tools, or make sure you get the latest version of umswe (although I'm not sure if it has RoC support anymore)

Since I don't have RoC only, I'm not quite sure of the degree of these problems, or how to resolve them. What happens when you make a brand new map and save that? does it save as w3x?

edit: i could swear there was an item mistakenly flagged as expansion-only, but damned if i can remember what it is.....
