JassNewGen WE Problem, minor...

[Munich]

Hello, as to what you're reading, I'm receiving a problem that everytime I do Test Map - Ctrl+F9, it gives me an error that says "Warcraft 3 has STOPPED working", Im on Windows 7.

What should I do? I'm new to JassNewGen WE, since I always used the Old Warcraft WE..

you need to save the map before testing it in JNGP. This is because the editor needs to compile the map before the game can read it.

however if you dont use vjass you can just disable jass helper to avoid it.

Oh okay, thanks! Thank you for helping me.

 

[Chaosy]

oh, and if that doesnt work it could be that you need to disable "reininventing the craft" too.

Much better now, thank you very much Chaosy!
{Edit} What's the " Reinventing the craft " for then?

Now here's a new problem, My v1.26 Warcraft cannot detect the map I made with JNG @_@ did I do something wrong?
I just saved the map then... It can't be seen in Warcraft III

Reinventing the craft is an old mod for wc3 to add new natives, but it's not recommended because it's buggy + only works for wc3 1.24.
(Keep an eye on Sharpcraft and Warcom, if you are interested)

Is your map working if you start it directly from the jng?

Yes it does when I do Test Map - Ctrl+F9, but when I startup WC3 and go to the folder
where my map is, it ain't there but I know I put it there (i guess it couldn't be detected) .. why?

Make sure the file name or file path isn't too long. To avoid errors, I usually put it in the Maps/Scenario folder or Maps/Frozen Throne/Scenario, and name it something short.

Otherwise, navigate to the folder in Windows and make sure there isn't a lock icon next to the file or something.

Thank you PurgeandFire, this worked for me.
Now my map is detected.
