Tesh in Base Editor?

[Teld]

I notice they put jasshelper into the base editor now but there's no syntax highlighting, is there any way to get TESH working with it?

I don't think that is possible right now. But my guess is that Blizzard will do something about that. I base that assumption on this post: Warcraft III - Patch 1.30

I only hope that will happen soon.

Impossible for now.
It basically means GUI users can import vjass but developers cannot use the base editor at the moment.

It basically means ... developers cannot use the base editor at the moment.

God forbid we have to type out full function names and remember what arguments they take like the good ol' days....

This is why we need at least two warcraft installation for now.

I could walk to Spain from Sweden to be on vacation, or take the 100x more convenient solution (car, train, plane).
It is too inconvenient, code without highlightning is unreadable. There is a pretty good reason all editors have it.

Sure, if you want to take 2x longer to achieve a goal, be my guest.

"cannot use" != "slower to use"

 

[Chaosy]

Just because you can code in raw byte code does not mean you actually do it.

You can probably program in morse code which is translated to binary code.
So yes, basically "Cannot" unless you are into suffering which some people are.

 

[Pyrogasm]

My whole point is that it's not suffering to have to type, dude. You sound like a baby that can't fucking deal with having to type a few extra characters for a week until a hotfix comes out that adds tesh to the WE.

 

[Chaosy]

Not at all.

The original tesh was only syntax highlightning, the auto complete functionality was added in like 2014 by LFH (not sure if it is the standard TESH in WEX now?), point is, the original purpose was not the auto complete. Unless I remember wrong, which is possible.
The auto complete functionality is not why TESH is important, the highlighting is. It hurts readability and indirectly understandability.

That said, I am not using wc3 at the moment since Wurst is not up to date with 1.30 AFAIK.
So maybe you are right about the baby part.

Pyrogasm must be a lot of fun at parties.

Well here's to hoping bliz brings TESH in, everytime I try to third party it, some new patch in the software messes up my map and it can't be loaded anymore.

I think someone in Discord managed to inject TESH into the Vanilla World editor with some 3rd party injection program.

In theory it should still should be injectable.
