1.35.0.19721 Saving Custom Campaign Resets String Data

PTR Discussion and Bug Report
1

In the editor, when saving a custom campaign, all text in custom data from the campaign are reset to their standard values. This affects simple text values as well as paths to models, icons etc.

Does not affect hotkeys or icon positions. Functionality (triggers) also not affected.

Simple example:

  1. in the campaign editor, copy a footman to create a custom unit.
  2. rename that footman to anything else.
  3. save the campaign; restart editor; load that campaign = footman will be named footman again.

Can confirm! war3campaignSkin.w3u doesn’t get into the campaign archive at all (it’s possible it doesn’t even get made). This tidbit of data, namely the filename, should help the dev team

Bump this, it’s very important this gets fixed before the PTR ships, because Custom Campaigns functionality would be broken this way.
