Thing is, I've never used JassHelper on its own before >.>
(Except for sneaking peeks at the war3map.j files inside other maps)

So, how is it like, using JassHelper outside of the WE?

JassHelper is a command line tool, but Grimoire (It is Grimoire, right?) has been coded to run JassHelper every time the game is saved, by injecting a custom .DLL into the process of World Editor.

First of all, the easiest thing to do would be to get the updated JassHelper Folder which contains the common.j and blizzard.j already in it, which is easier than having to look for them (thanks to Lyerae for the download)

Navigate to your JassHelper folder in command prompt, and run the command with jasshelper common.j blizzard.j yourmap.w3x if you are in the normal editor and you can not save vJASS directly in it, use [LJASS]//! import[/LJASS].

Lol, just wait for getting Newgen to work. :thup:
Else your best bet is [LJASS]//! import[/LJASS]ing your code from WE and yea, running JassHelper over it...
There's a tutorial on how to use JH with Macs in the tutorial repository which should help you out, even if you don't have a mac...

I was looking for another option because I didn't think a Mac tutorial would work on a Windows =x

But since two people seem to be sure it'd work, I guess there's no reason for doubt xD

You just need to change the commands to not use WINE, but I think you use CD on windows, don't you?

Edit: I should probably go make an out-of-NewGen vJASS tutorial.

Command Prompt ._.

Well, I'm stuck here, for obvious reasons.
I don't have WINE. =/

Step Four: Here it is, the last step! Now all you will need to do is run JassHelper from the terminal. First of all, you will need to have WINE, or you can't run these commands. Open the Terminal, and type in the following, substituting your paths of course.

You don't need to run it with wine, just take WINE out of that line.

Window's Command Prompt is such a bitch to use -___-
It doesn't support Copy+Paste, it doesn't tell me which of my syntaxes are wrong and when I think I get it, it throws me a fking error =/

It said: File does not exist "C:\Documents"
Problem is, the 'file' is not a file, it's a folder.
And the Folder's name is "Documents and Settings".

I didn't give it that name, Windows did.
And if I change the name of that file, a lot of my applications will get screwed up >.>
Anyone here know the syntax for Command Prompt?

I've tried at least 6 times without success, and my directory names are long >.>
Annoying to type out 4times per try.

[EDIT]

Can't I just edit the Jasshelper.conf file directly? >.>

Welcome to the world of DOS, don't get a linux :p

May I recommend you place your NewGen folder right in the C: directory?
edit; Oh, I forgot to mention, you need to use \ for spaces:
JASS:
cd C:/Documents\ And\ Settings/Program\ Files/Warcraft\ III

But Command Prompt always starts a new line with:
C:\Documents and Settings\PC>
PC is just the current user's account name >.>
(Not very creative with names there xD)

Well, then put your NewGen folder right in your Documents, so you don't have to go far. For example, I have a JASS folder right in my user account, so I just need to do.
JASS:

cd ~/JASS

It doesn't recognize 'cd'.
It uses '\' instead of '/' and I tried 7 different ways without success xD

We need a Window's user to help >.>

Just open a command prompt shell and type in DIR, tell me what you get.

Or do what J4L says.

edit: >>Is not true..

You do [LJASS]Path\ With\ Spaces[/LJASS] on the terminal, I thought it was the same.

Alright, go into jasshelper and tell me what you see there. And your map should be inside JassHelper, by the way.

  • Varine Varine:
    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
