Patch 1.23b

[13lade619]

I bet this is a DotA conspiration =O!

smells fishy .

on the other hand.. on the map i'm currently making, i dont personally use H2I..
but most of the systems i got from others uses it.. so BUMMER.. i have to wait.

so currently.. *most* of the popular non-ongoing maps won't work?
and the maps in-development are the only ones to 'survive' this?

 

[Tom Jones]

Where can I get the patch?

Logon to the beta server, named Westfall where I'm located.

When you logon to a non-beta server it'll patch down untill the patch has been released.

If I don't use any weird haxx or addons for my WE (just simple WE with GUI and JASS), should I download this update?

 

[Tom Jones]

You'll eventually have to patch, whether you do it now or when it has been released depends on if you'd rather learn the new natives now or later.

Do you use Jass systems? If yes you have a great chance to get screwed .

 

[Exide]

I thought Systems was vJASS only?
I never bothered trying to learn, because I couldn't get NewGen to work.
I don't use anyone's code but my own.

 

[Builder Bob]

While they were at this and messed around with the handles' reference counters and all, they didn't by any chance fix the bug related to local handle ids' reference counters as well?

It would be nice to stop having to null all handles at the end of every single function.

 

[Faust]

Tell them before its too late

 

[Monovertex]

Umm, there are Jass systems, then there are vJass systems. You know, there was a time when vJass was not even existant . There are plenty of systems that have not been translated into vJass because their owners left the community before vJass appeared.

As an example, I used to rely on KaTTaNa's Handle Vars when I mapped. That's a system, just so you know.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

All jass/vjass spells won't work after the patch.

Unless they use Key Timers 2. Quick, everyone switch to Key Timers 2!

All my stuff's gonna be just fine... <_<

 

[Tom Jones]

Don't you use the return bug in any of your systems?

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

You didn't know?

I avoid it outright in most of them. Of what was approved of mine only Faster Table uses it...

Key Timers 2, GTrigger, Event, Dynamic Trigger Support... All return bug free.

Therefore, every TimerUtils spell will fail, and every Key Timers 2 spell will stay alive. And KT2 is better for ~0.03 sec effects anyway. ^_^

 

[Tom Jones]

I know that you have some sort of neurosis that makes you avoid using H2I(...) , I didn't think you completely avoided the return bug. Thumbs up though, I like creativity. Come to think about it someone mentioned that you had shown him to pass struct by triggeraction count :nuts:

*Edit*
Mind doing some benchmarking on the new natives? I'll do some too, however I would really like to have a broader batch of results.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

I'd love to, but is it possible? JAPI won't work on 1.23b will it? How are you doing them?

 

[_whelp]

Take the new natives out of common.j and add them to that japi thing...

 

[Nexor]

someone could make something with these functons? I'd love to see the coding of this new stuff.

 

[_whelp]

Vexorian updated TimerUtils and Table to use the new natives. Check Wc3c.

 

[Narks]

Well, this sucks. Most WarCraft III maps (that are decent) won't work at all.

fail blizzard

 

[TriggerHappy]

And yet... the return bug still works..

 

[DBZ-123]

i just gotta say this...

BLIZZARD PHAIL!!
