Problem with 1.23+ Patch

[I am not sure this is the right forum to post this thread]

Firstly, Hello everyone its been a long time since I posted anything, so I may need some refreshing on vJASS.

Secondly, There seems to be a problem with patch 1.23 and 1.24. Some maps that used to work with 1.20 no longer works with those later patches. I don't know why is it related to the hashtable that was introduced in 1.23.

They fixed the return bug, which means you can't use the old way anymore, and maps which use the old version won't load in Warcraft.

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

That's what one example of the return bug looked like. Blizzard however fixed this, so we have to use another way which includes hashtables.

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return GetHandleId(h)
endfunction

//Example to convert a units handle back to the unit
function I2Unit takes integer i returns unit
    call SaveFogStateHandle(SomeHashtable, 0, 0, ConvertFogState(i))
    return LoadUnitHandle(SomeHashtable, 0, 0)
endfunction

My problem is that I never used hashtable before so it may take me some time to understand how to use them in JASS.

Has the old maps been updated so that they may work on 1.23 ?

Probably? If the authors of those maps took theirselves some time to fix it. Who knows?
