  • "Tool" is a JASS system that allows you to integrate tools into JNGP with a simple JASS code registry and LUA code and MS-DOS code insertion. This system will only be useful before the release of JNGP2 of moyackx.
  • Code:
    JASS: 
    //*************************************************************************************

//*    Tool by Almia
//*
//*************************************************************************************
//*
//*    This tool allows you to integrate tools into JNGP. This is a very, very, very
//*    sensitive system so please use this carefully.
//*
//*    This system will only be useful before the release of JNGP2 by moyackx.
//*
//*    PLEASE DO NOT IMPORT THIS SYSTEM! USE THE SYSTEM HERE!
//*
//*************************************************************************************
//*
//*    How to use?
//*
//*    THE FOLLOWING STEPS NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED!
//*
//*    - Open the trigger test.
//*    - Delete the codes used( the codes that has Notepad and CMD words)
//*    - Don't delete the action call DownloadToolInstaller
//*    - Above it, use AddTool and put the Tool Path and Tool Name
//*      ( Example : AddTool("Notepad.exe", "Notepad")
//*    - Open this system's code.
//*    - Configure FullPath and JNGP functions(path's must be equal to where JNGP is
//*      and what is the name of JNGP's folder)
//*    - If you are using JNGP at this moment:
//*      -  Save this map
//*      -  Close JNGP
//*      -  If "Tool.w3x" is not inside the Warcraft III maps, move it to there.
//*      -  Run Warcraft III
//*    - Test Tool.w3x
//*    - Once the map starts, close it.
//*    - Go to the JNGP folder and find "ToolInstaller.bat" then run it.
//*    - Open JNGP and see if it works.
//*

//*                  - Go find again this kind of line and delete the line after it.

I think you can do it with file IO very easy too.

Denied.
File IO creates its own file,which aren't injected to something. But Preloads yes.

I want to ask why you didnt use globals but constant functions when you clearly are making system that only works for JNGP users, so why limit the script for normal editor

I don't want users to test this in JNGP so I coded it in JASS. If you saw the README steps,you know what I meant.

Daffa the Mage said:
Well, this script actually inject additional tools to JNGP, adding tools such as notepad etc that isn't naturally available at JNGP.

When reading this tool what is coming to my mind is it possible to make a save code data in notepad, so then we can transfer data between maps [like save load system]

The first statement is correct. The second is too far out XD

I wasn't referring to vJass over Jass, im just saying that JASS should only be used for Warcraft 3 and not batch plugins like that

Tested and it works. Neat alternative to writing the lua manually. For those of you who are confused about what this does, it is kind of like adding shortcuts to certain programs in your JNGP. For example, I add MDX Squisher, Magos' Model Editor, and BLP Lab all to that menu so that I can access it easily for quick changes (opposed to making a shortcut on my desktop).

However, it kind of sucks that you have to delete the lines manually to remove the tool. I'm aware that there may not be much you can do about it (at least AFAIK, I don't know how extensive the Windows batch language is in terms of file manip.), but you should make it a bit easier. Separate each "tool" implementation with comments. For example:
Code: 
-- Notepad
function tool1()
    wehack.execprocess(path)
end
tools1 = MenuEntry:New(...)
-- End Notepad Implementation

And add some instructions on how to delete it. Tell them to open wehack.lua, scroll all the way to the bottom, and delete the section enclosed in comments for that specific tool. That way they won't mess anything up, such as the boolean that says "isStartup = false".

The reason why that is important is that it is easy to make mistakes (as you said yourself, the system is sensitive). If someone types the wrong path or adds a tool twice, they should be able to read the instructions to find out how to delete it. ;) Make those changes and I'll approve.
