Well,

my World Editor plays a hide & seek joke with me.

When working in editors (Object, Campaign, etc, only not on trigger editor) the screen become blanked on the list of icons and names.
Need to minimize/maximize or alternate tabs to view the stuff again.

Why?
Does yours do the same?

Tx for advance
 
simply the whole list disappears.

its very boring, but reinstall didnt works.
 
Your computer hates you. <-- Thats my only guess...you might want to check your vid card, directx, prefences of your WE, and then consider getting a new computer.
 
damn, i am still paying for it.
just cannot simply change computer.

the card is a geforce 8500
windows XP already
2 giga ram

cant be the computer....

are there a way to reinstall only the editor?
its so boring that eveytime you conect to battle.net that massive download of atualizations

Look at the Clipboar002.jpg, the campaign editor. The maps list is blank.

Look at the Clipboard003.jpg, the object editor Unit´s list of contents is blank.If I click on it, appear only the line clicked (Grunt, in the example)

When I test my map from the editor, the window I pressed the "Test Map" button is always on top after I quit WC3; it's impossible to get other windows above it. It's strange.
 
does this happen to all maps you play?

-if so it might be some crap in your textures... too complicated 4 me xD

Hey, this happened to me yesterday.

I couldnt use Firefox or MSN until restart the World Editor.

Its surely a bug.

But what about my problem?
Doesnt occur with yours?
 
Cracked versions?

Or possibly...oh noes viruses?

Either you have those 2 things, or again your settings are messed up.
 
I dislike cracked games when I really love them. Thats the case of W3. I love it!
Its original.
I´m thinking about to write a note to Blizzard asking about this error.

Virus isnt the cause for sure.

Maybe the setting of my monitor´s resolution?
No. I tested on another monitor with a lower resolution, and still blanked the lists.

I want to know if is there a way to reinstall only the editor.... Maybe works...

Nothing like that, no. Just that it keeps in front of all other windows. Minimizing it works though.

And an other question: Have you always been able to blink down to deep water?
 
Have you tried using a different editor?
If this bug happens on normal, try using an edited WE, like NewGen. If your using an edited WE, try on the original.

    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...
