Map won't work.

Hey guys. For some reason my map won't work atm. I've noticed that worknig maps end with a .w3m, and mine ends with a .w3x
I think it has something to do with the starting locations... like where I have them set the buildings in the middle of them don't show up. But i've seen many other peoples maps where they have their starting locations set just the same. Am I doing something wrong?? Thanks.

What does 'not work' mean? Does it open, does nothing happen when you're in the game? Does it crash when you try to test?

w3x is a map file format for frozen throne


while

w3m is a file format for reign of chaos.

Excellent title. If it wasn't for that thing I wouldn't know exactly what was wrong! Keep up the good work! :banghead:;)
As he said, .w3m is the format used by RoC maps, and .w3x is used by Frozen Throne.
I heard something about buildings in there....if you don't want the buildings on start locations, delete the trigger that comes with the map.:D
Anything more specific?

no it is my map, completely from scratch.
i was making it and everything was fine.
then when i re-opened it sometime today it had a .w3x at the end of it.
and i noticed that it would no longer open in the game.


EDIT: ^^I deleted the trigger. But I still have the .w3x problem...

It should tell you somewhere why you cannot open it in RoC. I have to run off, but it's somewhere in Options I think where it will tell you all the reasons it's ...oh wait...that's for why it's not a Melee map.
I'm pretty sure it's somewhere though.

ok, now i can't load the map. it just says Unable to load. but i can load the same map, about 2 hours of work before i last saved it. i opened that one, deleted the map initialization trigger like techgeek said, then saved it and it turned into a .w3x again. what does that mean?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
