New Gen and Reg WE

[Atticus]

Why wouldn't anyone get New Gen? It has more features and you can more than tripple the map size if you need to.

Or are there down sides to New Gen?

 

[chovynz]

Many reasons to not get New Gen. I'll list a few.
1. My Mom told me so.
1. The goldfish turned over.
1. You dont modify or create maps for Warcraft 3
1. You make maps for Warcraft 3, but only use Notepad++ or Jasscraft with slk injections.
1. You cant download it.
1. You're working on a Linux box.
1. Your rose wilted.
2. You are happy using something else.
2. You have no Internet
2. You are running on an 286
2. You have a mass of fused fingers on each hand due to a reactor explosion when you visited a nuclear submarine in the winter near Chernobyl and no mouse.

There yah go. Reasons to NOT download and use NewGen.

being a GUIer i havent found much use for newgen..... mabey in color codeing stuff, but other then that i really havent found much use for it

Only bad thing about newgen imo is test playing maps with windowd warcraft. Hard to scroll around.

Never used UMSWE?

Why don't you just turn off windowed mode?

I heard the campaigns suck ass tho when making them in new gen. Something to do with the save. Like when you save or something.

Newgen is good. Get it. My previous post was heavily imbued with sacrastic anenomiliilililiesticisms.

I'm running the standard World Editor. Do NewGen require more of your system? Because one of my computers where I make WC3 maps is s a small, laggy netbook

 

[chovynz]

Download it and try it. If your laptop is laggy on normal WE, it's not going to make much difference if you use NewGen.

Seriously. Even Gui'ers benefit from NewGen. You dont have to use it by any means but it certainly is more useful (and future extendable - in case maybe one day you WANT to actually use all the extra stuff) than normal.

If WE runs acceptably on your comp, so will NewGen.
For really slow comps, you will notice that saving takes a second or two more.
Other than that, no difference.


> being a GUIer I haven't found much use for NewGen

A syntax error in a custom script line will no longer crash the editor.
Just that already says "get it" all over.


Don't know for the campaigns part, but working with the AI editor can be... interesting.
Though it can already be interesting with the default editor.


Either way, get it, use it.

the reason why i posted that is because i havent felt a differnce between my days with normal WE and my days with newgen (which i currently use but cannot find anything that would change from my uses of normal WE) and as for the syntax errors for custom scripts, the normal wc3 compiler catches those fine (atleast for the scripts i use)

so far i only see
Windowed testing (which is nice... somewhat)
Models from gameplay interface selectable from a dropdown menu instead of having to copy paste them
Coloring text on the fly (although the inital load for that is kinda clumbersome)

somethings i see but dont use
ALOT of Jass stuff
Script marking (i use mainly GUI and customscripts)
and what looks to be a Jass database?
