[muzzel]

Im having this exact problem:

Any ideas?

(Im using this jngp: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums...oad-install-configure-jngp-160547/index3.html
with jasshelper 0.A.2.B)

What OS? Also, what is the path to your JNGP?

Try right-clicking JNGP and running as admin (although, I can't be sure whether it affects object merger). Alternatively, you may want to try disabling the user account control (which may help relieve permission issues). You will need to reboot after the changes, though.

Win8, jngps are in /Wc3folder/jassnewgenpack5d/ and /Wc3Folder/jassnewgenpack5ylite/

Running them as administrator didnt help and my user account control is already deactivated.

Any other ideas? :S

According to Nestharus, Lua is incompatible with Windows 8. I'm assuming that is the problem (I don't use Windows 8, so I can't be sure).

Wait until Wurst object editing, I suppose. Although, out of curiosity could you post the contents of the grim log file (with the error)?

jassnewgenpack5d -> logs -> grimex.txt

the map im currently helping out with is written in vjass, so that wouldnt help either

and the logfile doesnt exist

Actually, there is something in Windows in general that makes Lua not work. I've had it break on XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8. It's usually after I get an update, Lua will suddenly stop working for maps.

Lua itself works fine, but the stuff that NewGen uses does not.

Yea, it's a bit late, but that's how it is =o.

You can use Wurst, certainly, but then you will have nothing to work with. Wurst is incompatible with vJASS :\.

The best solution is to perhaps recompile the dlls for the latest Lua version =).

Never had any issue with Lua 5.1 or 5.2 on Windows 8.

Have you made sure your path configuration is correct for New Gen?

You can also force the path inside "findpath.lua".

Same for me, I've never had reports of issues related with Windows 8.

JNGP 2.0.X has an interface to force the path. No need to edit any file.

He clearly said he's using 5d.
