An update: First off, to make this thread more visually attractive, here are example tool tips from one unit of each of the buildings. I'm also uploading a new version with many, many fixes. Also, some things I'd specifically like to hear about: The balance of the different buildings and...

Hello everyone. As I imagine most people here have, I've started and given up many, many mapping projects that didn't get anywhere near playability. However, there was one project that I kept coming back to. The original inspiration came from Battlefield 1942 - I was fascinated by the game...

I've heard of this problem but it seems only to conflict with Kaspersky. I use avast and I've never heard of or experienced such problems with it. Also there is no error message or anything, it's just that newer functions aren't recognized.

^That. To summarize again, I installed and patched up TFT, downloaded and extracted NewGen, and replaced the executables in NewGen/Jasshelper with the ones from 0.A.2.B. If that's all you have to do, I can't see how anyone wouldn't have this problem.

I have replaced the JassHelper executables and the infotab confirms it is 0.A.2.B.

^This. The only exes in the /bin folder are exehack.exe, logd.exe, w3jdebug.exe and worldedit.exe with no icon. Does one of these somehow need replacing?

No, that may well be the problem. Replace which executables with what though?

Thanks for the elegant de-merger. I have checked the infotab, and reinstalled both Warcraft and NewGen and JassHelper. Is there something else I could have done wrong?

So what are the newest versions then, if those aren't? And no, it isn't the normal editor. All the usual additional functions are available, and pre-1.24 Jass script is recognized and autocompleted normally.

I have a question also sort of relating to this. How do I get NewGen world editor to recognize newer functions, that is to say those relating to hashtables. Right now they are unrecognized and produce syntax errors upon saving. I have what I assume are the latest versions of NewGen and...

I don't understand why anyone would need to use a status system to just increase attack damage. Claws of Attack work perfectly well, they can be leveled, the level can be changed at will with triggers, they can be added and removed to any unit with no problem. Plus, they're invisible! If that's...

As far as I know that's just not possible. Unless you want to code the entire thing in JASS, if you want bouncing attacks you need attack type Missile - Bounce. Of course it can still be damage type Hero.

Unfortunately there is no Generic Unit Event - Unit Takes Damage, only Unit is Attacked, and there are problems using that. It registers when the attack is initiated, before damage is done, and while the attack can still be canceled with a different order. And it doesn't register flawlessly on...

Aside from the obvious ones, I believe only Channel. With Data - Options set to "Universal Spell".

Web and Ensnare as far as i know cannot be dispelled, however I don't think they can be made not to stop the target.
