Xaechireon: the warning that was added is specifically for the situation you mention, that is, opening the WAD file with another editor while it's open in XWE.
I think I may have explained the details before but here it is again. Assume you have a WAD with two lumps. Lump A is at position 1000 and lump B is at position 2000 within the file. XWE reads this info once, when the file is opened. Now you modify the WAD with another program, let's say you make lump A bigger, so now lump B starts from 2500. If you now modify lump B in XWE, that lump will be saved back to 2000, overwriting and corrupting lump A.
People used to complain about lumps and WADs being corrupted in XWE. This is just a safeguard that this doesn't happen. It's just a simple message... You can even ignore it if you want to. It really shouldn't be popping up all the time.
If it does, try to re-create the steps you've taken. Perhaps I missed something, but I'd need to be able to see what.
