Can you help me at meey since March the World editor or in another JNGP does not work. That is, I open the editor, it crashes, why?

Which version of World Editor are you using?

If you run 1.32+ on your computer, then it will modify your registry so that any World Editor version from before 1.32 will not work.

For JNGP, replace the code in a file called findpath.lua with the following using Notepad++ or whatever text editing program you use:

print "Grimoire 1.5 5/4/2008"

-- This should be the path to your WC3 directory that contains the game MPQs
path = "C:\\Users\\Tuyen\\Desktop\\iccup_war3_en"

-- This should be the path to the latest Warcraft III.exe
testmap_exe = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Warcraft III\\x86\\Warcraft III.exe"

Then change the paths accordingly. JNGP then should work even with Reforged installed. You won't have to touch the registry, but you might want to do it anyway. The caveat is that you cannot open maps previously saved in the Reforged World Editor, but the other way around is possible. Just a fair warning in case you decided to do anything.

Another thing is that JNGP requires the old mpqs, you can download them from JNGP Lua Edition or WC3 Download Archive (download patches 1.29 or below).
