This isn't really feedback but a bug report and a cry for help!
I was working on my epic sized map when the editor crashed (nothing new). But now it crashes everytime I open this one map. I tried repairing starcraft2 and reinstalling - still failing. I was considering that my map was bugged, but I send it to two others people who could open it just fine. I tried opening all my other maps and that worked flawlessly.
so here is the cry for help:
- Can't open this one map
- Everybody else can open it
- Repairing/reinstalling doesnt help
- Having friends opening the map and sending it back doesn't help
Got any idea?
I would hate to redo the terrain and doodads again since I have been working the ENTIRE day on it. I'll pass a link to the map so if any of you eggheads outthere can see if there is anything in the map that could be causing this problem - or the editor trying to open it.
Since other people can open the exact same map it means it is indeed a problem with your editor, or a combination of both.
Well, I can only offer you the standard procedures:
1) Restart your pc, if you haven't tried.
2) Rename/move the map file and see if it works.
3) Look for for temporary folders in your map directory (they're usually named xxxTempSc2Map I think)
If everything fails, send the map to a friend and tell him to copy/paste terrain, doodads and units into a new map of the same size and then send it back to you. You can do that by pressing CRTL+A (to select all), CRTL+C (to copy) and then CRTL+V to paste it on the new map. It'll be a bit troublesome with such a large map, but it's possible.
And do make backups periodically from now on :)
the map takes a while to load tough. (1 min on my pc)
you put a lot of stuff into it.
when I get that the editor is not responding I normally wait. after a couple of secs the editor returns normally. so far i had only 2 real crashes but that is more because I tried some things that where not suppose to be done
Mine doesn't take long to load - fast pc though. but when it is done loading I can see the minimap but the main view window is grey, and the cursor changes from the normal cursor to a starcraft cursor then the editor crashes :( major qq

Thanks for the advice, the two first didn't help :( but I guess i'll give the last option a try when somebody pops up on msn ^^
if that doesnt work, then please say hello to my mother from me and say that I loved her.
Oh man nobody is getting online - if anybody got time to copy paste the map - into a new map file then I would give the lots o love
her you go. try this one
@Jackolas:
Thanks for trying, but it was no success. Oh well, looks like I have to thank blizzard for once again stealing 24 hours of my life for no reason :(

Can you open any other maps? maybe the view section is offline. :L
@slaydon:
I can open all other maps... view section, uhm what what? :O
Fixed now, got another person to crop the map all around and now it mysteriously works - so I guess, be aware and have backup copies ready!
