SharpCraft World Editor Extended Bundle

[EdwardElric]

- i get a "PathTooLongException" quite early, although my path depth isn't that deep. maybe you can reduce file system structure a bit...
some paths like: "...\SharpCraftWEX0.1.1.2\profiles\Warcraft III - World Editor (WEX)\plugins\MindWorX.War3Editor.TriggerEditorSyntaxHighlight\MindWorX.War3Editor.TriggerEditorSyntaxHighlight.dll"
should be shorter. although i like descriptive names, the default profile name ("Warcraft III - World Editor (WEX)") or plugin or DLL names like "MindWorX.War3Editor.TriggerEditorSyntaxHighlight" should be shorter...
- in "SharpCraft.Launcher.exe" when you "Modify" the "Profile", the row with label "Path" should be named "Path to 'WorldEdit.exe'" for better comprehension...
- i have to run "SharpCraft.Launcher.exe" as administrator, otherwise the button "Launch" is without function. maybe you could add that info above in the WEX download description as a note...

edit:

when you "Modify" the "Profile", the row with label "Path" should be named "Path to 'WorldEdit.exe'" for better comprehension...

bleh...
only now i understood that this "SharpCraft WEX Bundle" contains SharpCraft & WEX! man! took a while. so the label called "Path" is absolutely ok. didn't know you now can even choose between:
- Starcraft II Game
- Starcraft II Editor
- Warcraft III Game
- Warcraft III Editor

 

[MindWorX]

...

Yeah, I'll look at reducing the path lengths. It is possible to just move the plugins out of their individual sub folders. That would remove a lot. And I'll try and shorten the filenames themselves.
I added the bit about administrative running. I did experience it myself, but only because worldedit.exe was set to require admin when running.

 

[CAAentertainment]

Man, sometimes I wish Sharpcraft had it's own updater as a exe instead of me having to download it from all these great updates. xD

That, and the possibility to recover the map if your computer shuts down on while working on it... God, I wish that was a thing so much! But you have enough on your plate as it is. I look forward to when you find a way to allow multiple terrain outside the current tile space limitation!

 

[MindWorX]

An auto updater is planned, but focus have been on creating a stable system first and get JNGP replaced as soon as possible.

 

[EdwardElric]

MindWorX, in your SharpCraft WEX Bundle, can i use the "old" plugins (DLL files) from SharpCraft for the Warcraft III game or do they need to be reworked again? Tried to put the plugins/ modules DLL files into "plugins" folder of my WC3-TFT game profile of WEX Bundle, but when i try to launch this profile ("Blizzard.WarcraftIII.Game") i get a "ReflectionTypeLoadException" & WC3 don't even start.
here's screenshot of the error message window:
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

added plugins to "...\0.1.1.2\profiles\War3-TFT\plugins\":
- MindWorX.Modules.Stopwatch.dll
- MindWorX.SharpCraft.Lidgren.Network.dll
- MindWorX.SharpCraft.Modules.InputAPI.dll
- MindWorX.SharpCraft.Modules.InterfaceAPI.dll
- MindWorX.SharpCraft.Modules.JassAPI.dll
- MindWorX.SharpCraft.Modules.JassDebugger.dll
- MindWorX.SharpCraft.Modules.WarAPI.dll

so, at the moment my map cannot be played...

 

[persian gulf]

hi . how i can fix this error guys?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

The screenshot is outdated and those menus aren't there. All features work just fine though.

Well not for me then. When I open the trigger editor, Tesh doesnt highlight anything for me.

Show me the log, and I can take a look.

Could you add the option to disable editor sounds pre-127?

 

[MindWorX]

Could you add the option to disable editor sounds pre-127?

Good idea, I'll give it a try. I'm so used to the volume control in WE that I didn't think of it. If I recall correctly, JNGP simply imported an mpq with all sounds disabled.

 

[MindWorX]

...

I just checked, and even worldedit 1.21b which comes with JNGP allows you to disable sounds in preferences. Are there any limitations to just doing that?

I have no idea, so why did they include that new feature in 1.27? I never noticed those sound volume options. Weird? Huh?

Those volume options work perfectly, I guess it was already included. But why make such a feature in JNGP or 1.27 again?

 

[Hotwer]

Is there any problems copy pasting my old versions profile folder to the new version? Or you're changing it so much you don't recommend?

Best I can think is maybe it affects loading times of World Edit? If it doesn't have to load sounds, it might start faster. I might give it a test when I have some spare time.

It's possible, although plugins do change and sometimes I add or remove plugins, so I wouldn't recommend it. What you can do, is remove all plugins from the "profile/Warcraft III - World Editor (WEX)/plugins" folder except the one named MindWorX.SimplePluginStorage. MindWorX.SimplePluginStorage is the plugin that stores your settings.

It's a minor complain I have to set the WE everytime I update it. It's not a big deal. I will wait until it's stable again.

Also, another thing: I have a map that have JNGP along with WEU, and this map have a lot of WEU triggers (like RemoveLocation, DestroyGroup, ...) and because of it I can't open the map with WEX, my only remaining problem was the 480x480 map size, but now you're featuring that, I'm changing WEU GUI trigger back to custom script so I can open it with WEX. TL;DR: I know it's outdated, but you intend on integrate WEX with WEU? Or import it's GUI functions (it's better than using custom script in the middle of GUI Triggers, IMO)?

 

[KILLCIDE]

...MindWorX.SimplePluginStorage is the plugin that stores your settings.

Does that include the style settings of TESH?

I didn't realize people still used WEU. The biggest challenge is that it needs to be updated. If I import it as it is now, it'll overwrite all the new GUI functions like "Key of ..." for hashtables and more.

Does that include the style settings of TESH?

Sadly not. TESH would need to be rewritten to use the SimplePluginStorage system.

For some reason I started getting this error:

The WE_LaunchMapFix stuff is just because you're using an older version where the launch map fix isn't needed.
And dlls frequently can't load, that's just the way windows works. Can you send me the complete log?

So...?

 

[MindWorX]

So I need the logs. The dlls that can't load are most likely optional.

I missed your PM cause I'm silly. I'll get a look at it as soon as I can.

 

[MindWorX]

What language is your WE installation?

 

[A Void]

What language is your WE installation?

English, duh..

 

[MindWorX]

English, duh..

Damn. Well, I see you're using version 1.26 which was one of the experimental versions I added. I'll start testing it out myself, and see if it works.

EDIT:
Good news/bad news. The bad news is the project crashes for me as well, but the good news is now I can at least debug why it is happening. I'll update as soon as I can.

 

[MindWorX]

English, duh..

Well, this might be stupidly easy to fix. Can you do me a favor and open up "profiles\Warcraft III - World Editor (WEX)\plugins\MindWorX.SimpleAddressManager", and open the file "addresses.xml" with Notepad/Notepad++ or similar low-level text editor.
Search for the text "WE_ClipCursorToWindow". Should be line 246. Inside it are addresses for this specific hack. Remove lines 250, 251 and 252 completely.

Before

246:  <address name="WE_ClipCursorToWindow">
247:    <!-- Look for the imported ClipCursor function, the only function using it is WE_ClipCursorToWindow. -->
248:    <version code="1.28.1.7365 (3b54e1c3)">027260</version>
249:    <version code="1.28.0.7205 (bd7dc19)">024E70</version>
250:    <version code="1.27.1.7085 (1225d28)">01B0C0</version>
251:    <version code="1.27.0.52240 (f7ba2a3)">019E60</version>
252:    <version code="Version 1.26.0">095480</version>
253:  </address>

After

246:  <address name="WE_ClipCursorToWindow">
247:    <!-- Look for the imported ClipCursor function, the only function using it is WE_ClipCursorToWindow. -->
248:    <version code="1.28.1.7365 (3b54e1c3)">027260</version>

If this works, can you please let me know, and I'll update the package.

 

[SuShinoa]

Can't get TESH to work, it's not appearing in the features and can't activate it anywhere got any idea ?

Yep, removed that line and it worked!

<version code="Version 1.26.0">095480</version> was causing the problems

 

[Sulfar]

GUI hashtables issues from grimex are still present here right?

The hashtable functions are available in GUI if that's what you're referring to (unlike 1.21 editor).

 

[Sulfar]

Yeah, but using most of them crash the editor.

Awesome, I'll have an update out later tonight or tomorrow. I appreciate you testing it out.

Yeah, but using most of them crash the editor.

If you use this with 1.28 then it doesn't crash anymore. That's the whole point of SharpCraft/WEX. To avoid relying on old software that isn't working right. WEX always uses the correct version of the world editor.

 

[Sulfar]

Using last patch and last version of WEX and it does crash.

And after editing a bit a map in WEX i found out I can't test it or open it from within the game. I keep getting the error "cannot load map data".

Info:
w3 instalation path: F:\Program Files\Warcraft III
WEX instalation: F:\Program Files\Warcraft III\SDK\WEX

This is a bug with the latest patches, 1.28 and 1.28.1. I've tried to fix it with TEX, but it doesn't work on all machines. Some have reported that it works if they move their Warcraft III installation out of the Program Files folder, but I wouldn't recommend it, since this is hopefully only a temporary issue.
You can try the following.

1. Open up F:\Program Files\Warcraft III
2. Open up properties for "worldedit.exe"
3. Open the compatibility tab, and make sure it's set to always launch as administrator.
4. Open up F:\Program Files\Warcraft III\SDK\WEX
5. Right-click "World Editor Extended.exe", and select "Run as administrator".

It's not guaranteed to work, but might work if you're lucky.

In french, does it cause a problem.

Yes, there is a localization isssue, TESH looks for the window name in English. I'll update WEX later today, with a fix that makes it work properly again.

 

[CanFight]

MindWorX, im not sure if this is already asked for but I would just like to point it out. (totally understand that this is not of high priority)
Old JNPG had a function, a "colonizer" which allowed you to work much easier with names and tooltips in the object editor. Would be very nice if you could include this in wex.

//best of luck CanFight

 

[SuShinoa]

Thanks for the reply, I'll wait or change the language of my installation.
Thanks for all of your hardwork !

Send me the latest logs and I'll take a look. 1.26a is buggy at the moment, but will be fixed with the next update.

The malware stuff is a false positive. It detects the injection system and thinks it's a virus. Make sure you tell AVAST that the file is safe.

It appears to be the same problem as A Void was having. Look at page 7 of this post and you can see how I tell him to fix it. This will be fixed in the coming update.

 

[karaulov]

Can't save map.

in 126/127a, in 127b - works


and

How to add support memhack ?

I just add memhack code to custom code and save map, but after save in war3map.j some variables have been renamed.

for example Typecast1 function:

before save:

function Typecast1 takes nothing returns nothing
local integer l__Code
local code l__Int
endfunction

after save:

function Typecast1 takes nothing returns nothing
local integer l__l__Code
local code l__l__Int
endfunction

 

[MindWorX]

I can't tell you anything about why memhack isn't working. It must be something JassHelper does.

I'll look into the problems with saving on 1.26 and 1.27a/b. Those versions are experimental though, and if I can't make them work, they likely wont be supported. The aim is primarily to support the latest versions.

With 1.28 and 1.28.1 the "Test Map" button isnt working for me! When I click the game starts as a black screen with background music and nothing happens. The only way to test the map is to save it in maps and start it from the game itself.

Make sure you check the known issues section and once you've done that, send me a copy of your logs.

Updated!

For those that are having problems with TESH on non-english Editors, please check here. This will happen automatically in the future, but the fix have been causing issues, which has delayed it a bit.

Please post any problems or issues, but make sure you check the known issues section first!
