jass world editor

[xxx_]

i always used the normal one, is there something huge that im missing by not using it?

The NewGen pack editor allows you to use various other syntaxes, like vJASS and ZINC.
It also allows you to change the pathing of tiles, place unlimited doodads, change some previously unchangeable values in object editor, adds hidden models/icons to the "Extra" listing in object editor, allows you to have up to 16 tiles of any size.

In short, it's useful.

no negative things at all?

I'm not sure if it's because of NewGen or MiscData, but units can walk in water in any map that I save.
Someone said it's because of MiscData.

There's some kind of problem handling GUI Hashtables with JNPG: basically some options aren't available, but you can use them normally with JASS Custom scripts, and it's basically the Handle Id which is pretty easy to use with custom scripts.

Sometimes, as Xonok says, units can go into water and some other extrange things happen, but most of them are really rare and are commonly easy to solve. Most of them are terrain related, but they're not consequence of JNPG, but of the World Editor itself.

I can think of one actually.
Test map button won't work on any NewGen before 2.0

 

[Spartipilo]

Huh? What do you mean? I use the Test Map normally with JNPG 1.5e

 

[Xonok]

Like this.

 

[Spartipilo]

I don't have that problem. I've never had.

 

[deathismyfriend]

I've never had that problem it must've been an error when installing or dling

Its the problem most Jass coders experience,it is because:
1) They forgot to add endfunction
2) They forgot to add return someValue
3) They forgot to both add 1 and 2,which is a terror combo.

If you remember this funny lib I made : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/graveyard-418/april-fools-day-2013-most-dangerous-library-232383/
You will understand what I meant.

 

[Xonok]

Nope, it's not related to triggers at all. That's what I know for sure.

 

[Almia]

It seems that your Trigger Editor was opened.

 

[Xonok]

Yeah, but it also happens in blank maps.

It must be some corrupted data with ur editor.

When I have a syntax error and I try to test map it just brings me to wc3 home page.
So it's not a syntax error.
