Patch 1.23b

>The H2I function is discovered by who? Vexorian?

SuperIke or something? Peppar was the second person to use it.


>Warcraft probally tried to make something that can own NewGen and it's private globals. Basicly, this can make Jass spell non-need Globals and by the same occasion, Mui.

Hashtables are slower and more complicated than our globals. Besides, you still need globals to hold your hashtables.

The history of return bug

Reath that history of return bug part.

Funny actually, back then Blizzard have made a clear statement on the battle.net forums that the bug would not be removed.

Is it benchmarked? If hashtables are slower, then blizzard has made a fail.

 

[Expelliarmus]

Just wondering... how do you patch world editor to 1.23b on a mac?? @@
Is the patch even out?

 

[kingkingyyk3]

I heard it needs to update from battle.net. I can't find the patcher on blizzard website. T.T

 

[Viikuna]

Its just a test version in westfalls test version realm.

They will release it when DotA has updated its gamecache thignies to hashtables.

edit. Hashtables will be faster than gamecache, so we get fast Table 3.0 now which is cool. They are still few times slower than array look up, so they wont replace all our old and good vJass struct attaching methods.

Vexorian has already updated TimerUtils and Table to work with new patch. ( TimerUtils blue, uses hashtables now, if I remember correctly )

 

[kingkingyyk3]

Hmm, change from gamecache to hastables is not a difficult thing. Well, fine.... I am waiting for the patch...

They will release it when DotA has updated its gamecache thignies to hashtables.

can we conspire with icefrog not to do that?...

on the other hand., maybe not.. maybe it's his own conspiracy with blizzard..

Jesus what the hell is up with this conspiring blizzard and icefrog.

Dota is still the most known and played map on tft, of course blizzard supports it. And I bet Icefrog asked them, not vice-versa.

The point is, nothing bad has happened or will happen.
vJASS still prevails.

That is all.
Everyone go home.

 

[Uberplayer]

IceFrog asked nothing.

Qft.

 

[Viikuna]

Well, Im happy that Vexorian asked them to give us GetHandleIndex..

Hashtables are nice too, but they only really replace gamecache ( in sense of data attaching ) ( and yea, extra speed is really nice too.. ).

Just update your Table to v3.0 and everything will be alright.

 

[Uberplayer]

Except Table's exists method does not work non-handle types.

Who even cares about H2I.

>Who even cares about H2I.
That would be everyone besides you and me.

[Gwypaas]

Now you can start using it since it's not considered a bug anymore

 

[Viikuna]

They dont need it, because they like to do the stuff in the hard way, which is ofc fine and everything.

edit. I never really used Tables exist method anyways, but it would be nice if Blizzard fixxed it before releasing the patch..

And meeeeeeee! I had never ever heard of this "return bug".

 

[Gwypaas]

Then you haven't experienced more advanced mapping
