Map errors on editor
« on: July 16, 2024, 08:28:11 PM »
I've been using editors, including the triggers editor and now I have his problem.

Whenever I load a map from the folders "Ladder", "Classic", and more on the editor, I see mistakes on some values. I'll have holy vision costing 1500; peasants with like 450 score points; I'll play and when I research death and decay, I'll get the autoheal icon.
I even tried downloading the maps again from this website. I load them on the editor. Same happens. Should I reinstall?

You don't have to reinstall the whole game, there is a standlone map editor by iL (3.6mb download)

https://ftp.war2.ru/war2/Map%20related%20software/war2combatmapeditor102.zip

just remember to update your shortcuts, it installs to Program Files in a folder named War2CombatMapEditor.

(no guaruntees this fixes your problem)

I modified the installer to include the original tome files from the War2BNE disk (combat editions are stripped down for portability)

Make sure you close all instances of the editor before you reinstall, the tomes won't be replaced while the editor is still open

If that doesn't work you might like to try War2xEd

Triggers Editor stored all triggers in OILM section of pud war2 map, new maps have this section empty, and game actually do not use it at all (this is why trig editor use it), but some old maps have some info on this section, because they was created in old version of war2 map editor which was adding some info here by default.

Interesting how deep you got to create this tool. It's fine, I found some KPuds that worked well.
