Strange WE Error, Very Bad Problem

[BlueSin]

I was saving my map yesterday when I got this error:

Luckily I took a print screen because it didnt look familiar. It says something about a dll named 'internal'. Though nothing crashed at that point. I restarted the editor, reopened my map, and then went to test the map, but it only went to the main menu. This happened a few times, so I decided to reinstall warcraft & expansion. Now however when I go to open one of my maps, I get this:

This is not the result of map protection or intentional removal of certain files that makes WE crash, so please don't post so saying it is. I have several backups but none work. Note some other maps work fine, but there are quite a few (the important ones ) that do not. It says something about a custom object field and the only possible solution I could come up with is this:

Someone once posted a text file that you could put in the warcraft directory that shows all the extra material in the WE so you dont have to type out the paths. I no longer have this file. If anyone can find it, please post it.

Though I highly doubt that this is the reason, just the only thing I could think of. I reinstalled twice by the way, still no luck. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks for reading, +rep to anyone who responds.

Test it in some of your friends world editors...too see exactly where is the problem...i think it's because of the code that help you "protect" your map...that code that didn't allow you to save....and is this Windows Vista or it's just a skin(i've never installed it)...it could be from it too...some applications are not running very well in vista...about the file...i can think of only for miscdata....

check here MiscData ...this is from that post

Wow man that's is one hell huge map to lose :|

Did you try updating warcraft (and thereby updating world editor) after you reinstalled?

>>Test it in some of your friends world editors

Yeah I forgot to say I'd like to e-mail the map to someone so they can check if it works for them, instead of a friend. So please post saying so if youd be willing to open it for me, though I doubt you will be since I think...

Someone once posted a text file that you could put in the warcraft directory that shows all the extra material in the WE so you dont have to type out the paths. I no longer have this file. If anyone can find it, please post it.

...this is the problem, at least I hope it is. If someone can successfully open it they can use any of the scripts or spells, since a lot of them are useful.

>>i think it's because of the code that help you "protect" your map
Nope I have about 4 unprotected versions none of them work.

===EDIT===

>>check here MiscData ...this is from that post

Nope not that one, I remember it being unarchived in just a txt format. But thanks for effort though, appreciate it.

>>is this Windows Vista or it's just a skin
Just a skin. no way related to the problem.

Well thanks anyway for trying to help.

>>Wow man that's is one hell huge map to lose :| Did you try updating warcraft (and thereby updating world editor) after you reinstalled?

I don't think I did... Well either way I'm not going to get my hopes up, but Ill try it anyway. +rep for suggestion. Thankfully though, I have a .j file from a version about a week ago, and I have a few of the latest scripts laying in JassCraft (love how it autosaves the last thing you were working on) so not all will be lost.

Judging from the error: It's very likely that it's because of that file. The error is mentioning an 'unknown object field'.

well...email it to me xtremescript [at] data [dot] bg ...hope you got the e-mail i;ll try to open it up..change something little and save it...i'll tell ya the results...btw...the last time you saved the map...habe you got some problems...electricity shutdown...computer reset, anything? or normal?

Wow you guys respond really fast. I have to reinstall tft again it should take about 5 minutes. So I haven't checked yet if its due to a patch.

>>Judging from the error: It's very likely that it's because of that file. The error is mentioning an 'unknown object field'.

Exactly my thoughts, but Im trying to find the txt, but not having any luck. Im guessing it was in a thread about hidden object data in WE, but I don't remember at all.

Thanks Naminator for volunteering, Ill send it to you if the updates don't work and I cant find the txt.

Ah thank god, it works now.

Luckily I had a few WE text files on my jump drive, so I just put all of them in the directory. Also I hadn't updated warcraft, so thanks Lanboy.

Thanks to all.

wait, could it have been that you needed more RAM (read only memory) or physical memory? Huge maps take huge memory.

Nope.
