Testing Problems in WE Unlimited

[LordArckAngelos]

To keep this nice and short, I have started creating a map in WE unlimited and went to test it, I clicked the test button and... Nothing. It minimized but the game didn't start.

I went into the game to test it from there and it didn't show up in the folder I saved it in but when I tried using the original World editor it tested fine.

in case it's a problem I have windows 7, Frozen throne, and the latest patch. Can anyone help?

I'm sorry for whatever tutorial recommended World Editor Unlimited, but that program is not maintained and has an extremely large quantity of errors. Jass NewGen Pack is able to do what WEU can't and is recommended.

Link to JNGP is in my sig.

Do not use WEU and isntead use JNGP. WEU never was useful and even when it was maintained it was prone to curropting maps.

oh since somebody already asked a question about this, what about the hidden resources of the WEU? does JNGP already provided it?

 

[PurgeandFire]

They are all accessible in the regular editor and JNGP, but only WEU adds them to the list.

However, you can just choose from the hidden resources found here:

now I see it, thank you for the link and help

Even JNG can be a buggy mess sometimes.
If you're not using vJass or extensive instances of Jass (in which JNG's features like the syntax checker are incredibly useful for) personally I'd recommend using the standard WE, little room for anything to go wrong and you pretty much know it's going to work correctly.

JNG does on the other hand have useful features like an enhanced tileset editor which will be useful.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Although no one should not be using some features of vJASS in their maps.

Normal JASS does not even let you use globals (next to crappy usless GUI ones) and has stupid restrictions. The normal JASS script compiler (as in merges and generates the scripts) is also prone to reporting stupid errors like the line above where the error actually is or even crashing totally and utterly (without saving).

Pity the people who worked on JNGP were so selfish they did not open source it. One can not even update the required editor version easilly.

 

[Bribe]

If you're only coding in GUI, do it with standard editor. Jass NewGen Pack does not support GUI hashtables which hinders GUI users from maximizing GUI's potential.

If you are doing custom script, do it in JNGP. In normal World Editor, an accidental Ctrl+Z can undo a day's work. Also, udg_ arrays try to initialize themselves in the InitGlobals block (can't set their size to 0) which is a waste of text.

Thanks guys. I'll stick to the original Editor then.
