Spell Submissions and Local Library

[chobibo]

Hello friends, I'd like to submit a spell, but I'm not so sure if I could, for example, pick an external library(i.e. TimerUtils) ,over a local one, that is not on the Jass section. Thank you for any information you can provide.

I recommend to make constructive comment.

I believe it shouldn't be a problem, but, Hive is strict (AFAIR) when comes to stuff like TimerUtils. I recommend to update your TimerUtils to the one used by Hive Jass Section.

You can use external library at least if you justify your choice xD

 

[Rheiko]

okay

 

[chobibo]

Ok, thanks. I'll be looking for the updated one.

TimerTools on THW isn't really usable atm, so people use TimerUtils still

 

[chobibo]

Thanks for the heads up Nestharus, I was studying that already lol.

or just use T32 or CTL if possible...

 

[chobibo]

Ok. I'll look into it too. I know T32, is CTL like T32 btw?
EDIT: nevermind, I've found ctl (constant timer loop 32)

Use whatever you prefer and it will be viable for approval. It doesn't have to be a system here.

We might make recommendations if we think one is better suited, but it won't affect the rating or approval of the spell. The only time where it becomes a problem is when the system has a particular fault that may cause the submission to have bugs, or if it the system is completely inefficient or deprecated.

For JASS submissions, it is recommended to use local systems when applicable (it just makes things better). TimerUtils is still usable for the JASS section, but for Unit Indexers/Table/Damage Detection we may recommend using the hive's versions.
