Cohadar's JassHelper

[Bribe]

Is this tool still the recommended one or were there some bugs which stopped people from using it?

Cohadar had some bugs that caused code to not be compiled.

However, Vexorians has bugs that causes funny things like:

function f takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

function q takes string s returns nothing
endfunction

function w takes nothing returns nothing
    call q("f(")
endfunction

results in "Out of memory" error

I remember Nestharus talking about his ObjectMerger stuff not working quite right, but is there anything specific about Cohadar's that messes up regular JASS or vJass?

 

[edo494]

no idea, I never used it really

Not sure because I haven't used cohadar's but I remember having read something about the for loops having problems.

I think you should check this:

Is that a fix to Vexorian's JH or to Cohadar's? I see he hasn't updated it in 1 year but have u updated your NewGen on the site?

Why I'm looking into this right now is because I get my PC back in a couple of weeks and want to install NewGen again so I can resume modding again and maybe even start moderating again if I can re-learn enough stuff.

edit: ok I found where you have JNGP on your site again: http://blizzardmodding.info/4263/the-jass-newgen-pack-jngp-2-0/

Do you know about Win8 compatibility? I could never get JNGP to install on Win8. If it won't work, I'll just install it on my old Win7 laptop which I'll also get back in a couple weeks.

It happens on both. The example you gave doesnt crash because function f isnt a one-liner.

This does cause it:

function a takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("Test") // a one-liner
endfunction

function b takes nothing returns nothing
    local string s = "a("
endfunction

ah well I dont know exact details, but yea now that I think about it you are right, because jass helper is kind of like trying to inline the function, but he tries to inline it into the string, so it makes sense

I've heard no issues in Win8, but, I'd suggest to stay in Win7, just because it's IMO the best supported windows at the moment

No worries, Newgen works fine on W8. I have it installed on my laptop.

Also, Newgen 2.0.7 is a godsend with the repaired testmap-feature and a working LUA objectmerger - especially if you have an SSD. Damn, even a 480x480 map with millions of lines of code compiles lighting-fast and the game starts the correct map within seconds. I don't know how I could live without the testmap feature in the past.


Also, I'm using the Vex' Jasshelper right now, as my map just won't compile with Cohadar's.
I think this is because I used some "forbidden" keywords as variable names:
"key", "while" and "for", which didn't have a meaning in the old vJASS syntax.

Most of the bugs in Vex' Jasshelper won't matter for the regular user who doesn't apply weird JASS-hacks anyway.
