Newgen has stopped working entirely

A few hours ago, newgen stopped working. No errors, no crashes. Just doesn't appear when I click the shortcut or actual .exe

I discovered a way to start it up again - using we.bat when used on the desktop. This worked for a few hours.
Than when I tried restarting for a 3rd or 4th time, it started spitting out errors about unexpected runtime or something akin to that.

Now, it won't even start. No errors this time, nothing.
I tried deleting all of it and installing it again - still doesn't work.

What is going on?! I've read dozens of 'Problem with newgen' topics - most covering the same thing. Yet have not found any problem resembling mine.

Vista 64bit
I have tried restarting, I have checked the process tab to see if it might be running in the background. Absolutely nothing.


EDIT: 'Reinstalled' newgen another time. This is what the black box we.bat gives me.

C:\Users\Graham\New Gen Jass 5b>bin\exehack.exe -s we.lua
'bin\exehack.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Graham\New Gen Jass 5b>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
 
I know my answer is probably useless, but...

Don't use newgen? Try it!

I do that all the time xD It rox. No errors w/e.
 
Except for the small fact that I use many of the features of newgen, most of which would be in scripting. You try and save a map which uses scopes.
 
could be a vista related problem ...
..but vista isnt officially supported by newgen ..
 
Have you tried re-downloading it?
 
I deleted the entire folder, ran CC cleaner to clean both recycle bin and fix any registry errors. However I did not do a full computer check on newgen, I'll do it later.

EDIT: Nope, didn't work.
Did everything I could to delete newgen.
Searched "jass" on computer and deleted everything related to it (all newgen)
Searched "new" and deleted any files associated with newgen.
Searched "gen" deleted any file associated with newgen.
Searched "newgen" and deleted any file associated with newgen.
Ran CC cleaner on recycle bin.
Ran CC cleaner to fix registry errors
Repeat the last 2 steps again

Same error as before. I did absolutely nothing between when newgen worked and didn't. In fact, I turned it off so a model would work correctly. Closed newgen and attempted to start it up.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
