[General] Running vJass maps

[NightSkyAurora]

Hey people
I'm using jass newgen pack v5d. With this program I can create and run jass maps without any errors but as soon I as make changes to a vjass map then it gets corrupted - even if I undo the change it stays corrupted. What do I need to do to run vjass maps without errors??

maybe u installed vjass but u use regullar WE....
be sure u run NewGen WE.exe and not World Editor.exe

I'm pretty sure that I run UMSWE because there is a lot of new features like extensions, jass helper and even a list of all jass functions which isn't in the regular WE

I'm not sure though. The program I used is in a folder called "jassnewgempack5d" and the program's name is "New gen WE".

So I should use v2?

I would recommend 2.0 for being more functional, less buggy in particular. As a plus, they removes RTC (a VERY BUGGY extension) in 5d/5e. It also has new extensions (SharpCraft and Campaign Builder) which seems functional/working properly.

Show us the error It wouldn't be an editor's error that much

Or just learn to set up the old versions properly. I still use them no problem.

I tried v2 but same problem. There are no errors (sorry for the misunderstatement), The map just won't load. All it does is open wc3

 

[Chaosy]

Seems like new gen itself isn't to blame then.

I can think of a few issues.

1. your WC3 is corrupted for whatever reason. If you're using a cracked WC3 this would make total sense. Of course it can be corrupted without being a crack.

2. Your OS is not supported, I am not sure if windows 8 is supported, same with linux and mac got issues in general. Try running in windows XP compatibility mode.

Try saving before testing the map

 

[Dr Super Good]

You may need to save twice for it to work. There is some error in JNGP which occasionally means the first save does not fully complete.

 

[NightSkyAurora]

Thanks Super Good it worked after saving twice? Is that really the only way to run vJass?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Some times it works after saving once, some times after saving twice. I am not sure why it happens but I guess it really is the only way.

It might have something to do with the vJASS script compilation process not being written to the map first time.

Good point, I recall Anachron made a tutorial back then for setup.
However, it's either 5d, 5e or 2.0.7. Others aren't well supported anymore.

 

[NightSkyAurora]

Ok thanks people it works now after saving only once except the first time

campaign builder is broken(it cant save maps to campaign archives)
