What if

[DESTROYER123]

Hey everyone.
In the normal WE, what if I put more than the specified doodads in a single player map?
Will it crash or go boom?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

You won't be able to start it.

 

[DESTROYER123]

Oh I see.
Any possible way to put more doodads than the doodad limit?

 

[Maker]

Use JNGP.

 

[DESTROYER123]

When I try to open NewGen WE.exe it says it stoped working......

Nevermind.
Fixed.
Is newgen a good program?
I mean, does it have any flaws?

Is nice.

It doesn't fill in your tax return and doesn't keep your bed warm at night.

 

[DESTROYER123]

Thanks!

Got anothe rproblem.
I have made a map with the normal WE and when I click open map in NewGen it can't find my map.
I have checked the maps path and it's not there I have checked everywhere but ng we won't find my map...

 

[deathismyfriend]

That's odd. Only thing I can think of is that u have the map protected through the properties in ur os. It won't be able to see it except on the program it was made. Try to find the map on ur pc then change the permissions in the properties

Also another tip when opening maps in JNGP better make a backup for your map incase something happens but I do know JNGP creates a backup when you save your map.

Happy mapmaking!

Maybe the map was locked somehow. There are times that files are locked magically. Well, that's the case for me somtimes. X3

Well, the real reson for this post was kinda offtopic.

I just noticed that DESTROYER123 and deathismyfriend has almost the same avatars. Huh. It took me quite long to notice that. :V

You re right, another option is it is lock. I had that too and I need to do some stuffs to make it open again.

And you would notice DESTROYER's Avatar smokes alot.

I've had this happen before; maybe you should try finding it on your PC/(Or whatever you're using) first then after which there are two likely possible scenarios:

-If you do not find it, you must have deleted it somehow. Check the Recycle Bin.

-If you did find it, try opening it again in the normal WE. If you can open it, that's a good sign. Now try opening it again in JNGP. If it does not work, do what deathismyfriend's said, and maybe try switching versions of JNGP.

Not sure about doodads but I think too many destructibles will cause the map to crash when loading.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Aren't doodads and destructibles the same thing?

 

[Binsu]

Aren't doodads and destructibles the same thing?

Destructibles consists of trees, walls and such and things that can be destroyed in the environment while Doodads in the other hand are more of a decoration in the environment and cant be destroyed through any attacks except if it is not a doodad friendly skill. that is used in it.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Yeah sure, when you put it that way.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Doodads are some models placed on the terrain. They do not alter game state in any way.

Destructibles are a type of widget like units and icons. They do alter the game state.

JNGP creates 9 (yes , 9) backups of a recently made or saved map. It can be found in the jassnewgen folder > backups.

Woah 9? I have been using JNGP for a long time now, and that's the first time I've heard of that. Looks like all of the time I've spend Copying and Pasting maps consecutively was a waste of time.

A waste of time indeed.

A waste of time indeed.

Btw, the maps are named like numbers(e.g. 9.w3x, 7.w3x, etc) afaik
