Overriding doodad capacity in maps without JASS

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Exactly what it says.
I want to remove the maximum number of placeable objects in the game but i don't want to get involved with jass programs and such.

Also, I have another question for those viewing. Can game cache files be read in multiplayer games.
Like if i wanted to have a 2 player campaign with multiple maps, and i wanted to save a hero and use it in the next map?
I know that savee/load codes can be used. I was just wondering

To keep it simple, put a (1) in front of your reply if responding to first question, and a (2) if responding to the second. Thank you.

1)Well the WEU has a patch which you can aply to remove the object limit.
WEU = World Editor Unlimited

2)The gamecaches can be read in multiplayer games what do you think RPG use when using -save;-load systems?
Sorry if this sounded harsh.

WE No Limits, variants of which are supported by both WeU (as mentioned) and JNGP can disable that limit.

Gamecache can be read in multiplayer, but not from the disk - that is to say, you can use it as a hashtable but not to store information between games.

Where can I learn about hash tables and more importantly how they are used in warcraft?

 

[PurplePoot]

A hash table is basically an array which references objects by objects rather than integers.

In warcraft, they can only be done by strings (Technically), but H2I allows you to do them for all types.

library someLib initializer init
globals
    gamecache hash
endglobals
private function init takes nothing returns nothing
    call FlushStoredMission(InitGameCache("hashcache.w3v"))
    set hash = InitGameCache("hashcache.w3v")
endfunction
endlibrary

..

call StoreXXX(hash,"id 1","id 2",<value>)//works for integer, string, real, boolean

If you have JassCraft or TESH, look up StoreString/StoreInteger/(etc)/GetStored(whatever)/FlushStored(whatever)/etc.

Basically, stuff to do with gamecaches.

I thought weu doesn't work anymore? Like a couple patches ago.

It seems the two of you are saying different things about the cache files.
what I want to know, is if me n a friend were to play a 2 player game and save our heroes as a game cache at the end, then load that game cache with a different map, would that work?

Use JNGP or just raw WE No Limits, as I said.

As I said, you can't. I was just responding to some other question.

It's not as if you can disable the doodad limit with Jass.

Yes, i understandd that, but most people would suggest newgen, which isn't what i wana get into.

as for the second part, i assumed you both were responding to the gamecache question. but i have my answer. thanks everyone for the help.

SOLVED!

Check out my other thread "Maps Section" in site discussion if you get the chance.

I used newgen from the start and I don't even write in Jass. It does have some handy tools like easily editing tooltip colours.
