Jass Newgen, Can i succeed without it?

This Jass Newgen pack, where it gives you some new version of the War 3 editor. Well i have a macbook, its 5 or 6 years old i cant even remember, and it cannot support Bootcamp. Im not asking for a mac version because im pretty sure it doesn't exist. Im wondering if ay thing i ever make with the old WE will even compare with other maps made with this almighty Newgen thing.

Well the only difference is that you can't use vJASS in your map.
And since vJASS compiles into JASS you don't actually miss anything at all. Though on the other hand the JNGP makes it easier to write in JASS & vJASS.

But you have more options within it, for example you can remove max doodad limit, add more than 16 different tiles and so on...

The problem is that vJASS allows you access to jass functionality that is missing in normal JASS, like the ability to make globals via jass.

If you make a map, you will want to use a lot of globals. GUI globals do not cut it for good use in JASS.

I see. and what im trying to make has many globals. yes.

Sounds great, but do you know of any good maps that dont use it?

SupCom is an awesome awesome map made without JNGP as far as I can tell.

However, why would you ever want to make a map like that (it looked painful to make the map because of all the crap he had to do that jasshelper does for you) and why on earth are you using a five year old mac?
