[General] Programming software

[Roflan]

Since I moved to the latest patch Jass NewGen doesn’t work anymore so I wonder what software do you guys use for coding?
I mean basic world editor with its notepad interface is terrible. And JassCraft/VS is inconvenient because you have to copypaste every time. What solution would you recommend?


One more question.
Are there any of you who programs using Lua? Do you know any sources to read on warcraft tutorials (not general lua) and spell making? Maybe there are some spell examples out there, I didn’t find much on Hive. What kind of start would you advise?

Tough luck, if you want to use jass/vjass there is no good solution (as far as I know)

Use gui/wurst until syntax highlighting is implemented.
Or downgrade to an older patch, that's about it.

Last time I picked up JASS, I tried using Notepad++ directly. No function list, tough luck. I used the JASS Manual instead. I picked up the vJASS Syntax Highlighter from vJASS Syntax Highlighter for notepad++ - Wc3C.net.

I even added highlights for extends and a few of the hashtable functions. Unfortunately, the new natives from recent patches are absent still.
