Jass new gen editor doesnt save changes

[Foxace]

When i test map by going wc3 to play map, changes are not there. I save map by pressing ctrl + s

Sometimes changes do save, but 90% of time it doesnt work.

Make sure you always save before hitting the test map button.

But we don't have much info to work off of. What operating system are you using? Did you try right-clicking newgen and running as admin? Maybe it's lacking the permissions to change the worldedittestmap file (so it loads whatever was previously there?).

win7 64 bit

Test map button in editor doesnt work no matter how many times I save the map, it always gives the same error relating to some rtc-file. I am running editor as administrator.

I can play the map by starting warcraft 3 and starting custom game, but like I said the changes dont show up so the editor has not saved changes.

Ah, there's the rub. You didn't mention the rtc error before. You are using an older release of JNGP. Use this one:

I cant open that rar

Winrar says that cant find the file

 

[PurgeandFire]

It isn't a rar file. It is a zip. See this:

Well, WinRar might be able to still open it, but you should just use the default windows browser for it.

I tried to open that file with winzip but it gave error

Irrecoverable Error: File has been changed since last loaded.

I managed to install it now, but still the same error when trying to run map from editor

Also still does not save the map no matter how many times I save the map in the editor and play it in WC3

Can you take a screenshot of the error you get? (press print scrn, press CTRL+C, open paint, press CTRL+V, crop it, save, and upload here or to some image hosting site)

Make sure you're running it in Admin mode... else Windows will be blocking it from saving the map if your wc3 folder is inside Program Files

 

[Foxace]

Wc3 folder is in entirely separate hard disk drive than windows

also running on administrator

when trying to run map from editor the error is following:

wehack.lua:437: attempt to index global 'rtc_enabled' (a nil value)

That error disappeared when i turned off antivirus but the game still does not start. There flashed some black text box but couldnt read it.

If you're still getting that error then it means you aren't using the JGNP in the link I posted. You have to delete the old JNGP folder and then replace it with the new one.

Apart from that, you have to disable your antivirus or you have to add the JNGP files as an exception. A lot of antiviruses will detect grimoire as a virus or an attack (due to the way it hooks onto the editor), but it is not harmful (it is necessary for most of the JNGP features).
