I Can't Test Maps with Newgen!

[Romek]

I've seen numerous posts about this, and I've had to link to a certain post of mine many times in the past to solve this problem.
I'll keep this sticked [del]temporarily[/del] until it's no longer a problem.

Save The Map

If your map uses any vJass, you'll need to save every time you test it. This is because Warcraft III cannot 'read' vJass, and it needs to be compiled to ordinary JASS, which is done when you save the the map.​

Disable RtC

RtC is known to cause map crashes. If you cannot test the map, click on the 'RtC' menu in Newgen, and make sure 'Enable RtC' is unchecked.​

What if the menu isn't there? That doesn't work?

Go to your Newgen folder, and find 'wehack.lua'. Replace this file with the new 'wehack.lua' attached to this post, in a *.zip file.
I'd recommend making a backup of your old file in case something goes wrong, or this is fixed.​

Could this be stickied please?
I've seen countless threads that this 'patch' solves.

It was stuck for a while, then Ghan unstuck it.

Does the newest version of newgen still have this problem?

Yes it does,or at least it did for me, but now that i red this, its all fixed, i can use the test button

When I just came back (~a month ago) my NewGen had this problem.
I found your link to this thread in the actual NewGen thread, and it solved my problem.

It's helped me and at least two people I've linked to this also.
Maybe even a link to it in the NewGen thread, directly below the download?


/EDIT: But yes, I believe this should be stickied.
Once the Hero Contest threads are down (There's three of them!) having this one extra would be fine, I think.

Stickied.
