How to [download | install | configure] JNGP

Edit by Purge:

Note: You can avoid a lot of stress just by downloading from this link instead:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/jassnewgenpack-5d-227445/

Please check out the troubleshooting section before downloading. Make sure your antivirus is configured so that you will have a proper download and patch your Warcraft 3 to 1.26.


Actual tutorial:


For the 100th time this year I have to tell a guy how to probably download, install and configure JNGP In order to make it work. So I wrote this short tutorial to not have to answer it every time again and again.

  • Requirements
  • Download
  • Install
  • Update JASSHelper
  • Configure
  • Using
  • Settings
  • Misc

Requirements
  • Windows or windows emulator
  • Latest Version of Warcraft III.

Download
Open this url, download the JNGP file.
Alternative: JNGP 5d with JassHelper 0.A.2.B.

Install
Extract it anywhere you want.

Update JASSHelper
Open this url, download the JassHelper file.
Extract the content.
CnP this three files:
  • clijasshelper.exe
  • jasshelper.conf
  • jasshelper.exe
, go to the JassNewGenPack folder, open it, and copy it into the subfolder "jasshelper" and click yes to overwrite.

Configure
Open JNGP. (For that, you need to open "NewGen WE.exe"
If your antivir program does block something, set it to the exception list! This is not a virus, even if it may seem like it for antivirus!

Check the menu. Click on Reinventing the Craft, check the box "Disable RtC".
Close the JNGP instantly.

Open JNGP again, now you can use it with vJASS support.

Using
To open the map, simply open it in the menu or with CTRL + O.
To save the map, please use Menu - Save (CTRL + S).
To save the map under a new name, press save as and then press save (CTRL + S) again!

If you edit your map (anything, while this can be scrolling in the trigger editor aswell) you can NOT play the map!
You have to save it again with CTRL + S in order to testplay it!


Settings
Please make sure the settings of your JNGP match the following:
GrimoreSettings.jpg
JassHelperSettings.jpg
RTCSettings.jpg
When saving for real version please uncheck "Debug Mode" in JassHelper menu.


Misc
Grimoire

[X] Start War3 with -window
If enabled opens Warcraft III in a window when testplaying maps.
This does NOT change the normal Wc3 startup.

[ ] Start War3 with -opengl
If you enable this you will use OpenGL (GraphicFormat).
This is only useful when you know what you do.

[X] Enable TESH
Like a theme manager.

[X] Enable Colorizer
If you want to choose your own colors for coding, you can
enable it here.

[ ] Enable No limits
Removes the World Editor limits.
For example the 8000 doodad limit will be removed and you
will be able to place more doodads!

[X] Enable object editor hack
Allows you to put in field values that are normally not valid
for the WE.

[X] Disable default description nag
If you go save a map in normal WE and you haven't changed name from "Just anther warcraf 3 map" Then a dialog pops up, letting you know that you haven't.
This disables/enables that dialog.
Thanks to Cweener for this answer.

[X] Don't let WE disable triggers.
When your trigger has one or more invalid actions WorldEditor normally
disables it. You can prevent the WE from doing so here.

[X] Always allow trigger enable.
Same for above, but this time you are able to enable it.

[X] Mute Editor Sounds
You can mute the sounds here. I find it more annoying to
have sounds in the world editor. Listen to music instead.

[X] Disable First Save Warning
The WE pops up a little annoying message that you are saving the
map for the first time. You can disable it here.

btw for users of AVG: avg has 2 different lists of exceptions. one for pup (potentially unwanted program) and one for resident shield. i had trouble with it, so i added the files to both exception lists, just to be sure

well i deleted the jasshelper and JNGP folders last night. went on wc3c to get me latest versions, but found out that the .zips i kept on my computer just in case were the most up to date. then i extracted them again. and yes i think these are all the initial settings (well it doesnt keep any saved info elsewhere, does it?)

to this path "\$JNGPFOLDER$\jasshelper" and click yes to overwrite.

don't type \$JNGPFOLDER$, it's confusing. Insteed tell them to go to the JNGP folder and then to the jasshelper folder.

EDIT : Nomatter, i just found out that the guy above me had the same problem, i'll try to fix it.

2nd EDIT : You know where the exception list for AVG 2009 is?

as i stated in the first post of this thread (after Anachron ofc) avg has two different exception lists.

first one: open interface. open resident shield. on the lower right of the main part of the window is manage exceptions :)
second: form toolbar open tools -> advanced settings. somewhere in the middle of the list of the newly opened window is PUP exceptions :)

hope this helped :D

Hey, "Reinventing the Craft" isn't one of my options. Is there something wrong with my JNPG?

EDIT: Also none of the things from the "Extensions" section work.

Anyways, everytime I click on something in the "Extensions" menu, nothing happens. I also installed this while my Antivirus system was down.

i did everything you said,..

but when i look in trigger editor it is till in GUI?

im not running the old WE, im running the NEW PACK...

what will i do??
 
I still cant setup the New Gen properly.

We.Lua
Couldn't start World Editor. An instance of World Editor may already be running.
If running a patch prior to 1.21b make sure the Warcraft III CD is in your drive and try again
If your using kaspersky antivirus, turn it off before using NewGen.

I have Kaspersky and i turn it off, but it doesn't help. It still gives me the error. I updated the jasshelper. But nothing helped. :'(
 
Anarchon, I really need to use JNGP so I can continue my map, without the fear of too many doodads. I download it, but when I try to unizip it, it says that it's corrupted or something. Please help.

[EDIT]

WinZip
Cannot open file; it does not appear to be a valid archive.

If you downloaded this file, try downloading it again.

That's what WinZip says.
