Map Testing Program

[TheSandWraith]

I was wondering if there is a program that allows you to test your map without actually opening up wc3, or more likely, opens it up in a windowed mode so you can filp-flop between the two.

Well no way actually too test it with out wc3 but i just test mine in window form although you can't get the world editor button to use it in tests but you can save and switch between and test. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5897

That is cool man. It doesn't really matter that the test button doesn't work, I can now just save the map, then click on the windowed mode and start it up, and it works all the same, just I don't have to wait for the game to start up. Thanks again and + REP

using the JASS NewGen pack (which is likely broken for right now due to the latest patch) you can open WC3 in windowed mode (not fullscreen) from the test map button in the WE. JNG also includes War3Err, a runtime script debugger which can provide some usefull error detection and crash prevention. (Should not be used to prevent crashes while actually atempting to play a map, FYI...) JNG also inclues JASS Helper (vJASS), pJASS (a syntax checker which will NOT crash WE!) and TESH (syntax highlighting for JASS code in the trigger editor)

The NewGen thread is over at Wc3c, here: http://wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=90999
