[JASS] vJASS

[Ozco]

Hello,

I've been scripting jass for a while, but recently I tried using vJass. However, it seems like theres this huge mess of convoluted threads, links, etc about how to get it to work (I already know so much about using the language from tutorials, especially since I'm used to programing in OOP languages). I tried a couple of downloads, and nothing works. I tried downloading the newest NewGenPack, but whenever I open one of the demo files (like interfaces.w3x) with the NewGen WE.exe and try to save them, I get nothing but compile errors. I tried enabling some of the things like jasshelper in the tabs of the world editor, but this didnt prevent the compile time errors.

I also tried using the jass helper 0.9.9.7 by putting it in the folder with the newgen pack as Vexorian suggested in one of his threads about jass helper, but this didnt help either (it also doesnt help that the structure of the directory is different than the one in the newgen pack, do I delete files that don't overwrite? do I have to mimic the structure of the old directory?). Please someone help me sort this cluster-fuck out, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!

Thanks!!!

All you need to know about vJASS is in the JASS Helper manual: http://wc3campaigns.net/vexorian/jasshelpermanual.html

As for any issues you're having with NewGen, i would suggest first trying a freshly downloaded copy (http://wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=90999) with some random crap code to see if it works. Something like:

library XYZ
struct ABC
    integer i
endstruct
endlibrary

If its still not working, ask for help in the NewGen thread at WC3C. (http://wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=90999)

This tut. was made by vexorian, and is how I learned about structs.

Once you open JassNewGenPack, disable the default World Editor Compiler, enable JassHelper, (those two are in the last two top menu bars) then restart it.
