I have been using WEU for a long long time and I have tried using Newgen before but I was getting the same problem so I gave up... Anyway I have downloaded, deleted, and redownloaded 3 times now. When I try to start up the NewGen Warcraft and/or the NewGen WE files I get a message that says worldedit.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. ***or (depending on which file I opened)*** war3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I was looking at posts from other people and one person had the same problem, but it was caused by a program that I don't have...

help get me out of WEU!

If memory serves, you don't install it. You drag all the folders and icons and whatnot that came in the zip file into a new folder and run the NewGen editor from there.

Yeah I didn't actually meaqn "install" it sorry about that.

Just drag everything you unzipped into a new folderr and run NewGen we and if it still gives you the error message try rebooting.

ya I've rebooted plenty nothing is happening though... When I start war3.exe from the NewGen pack, I also get the message that I have an instance of wc3 already running after the error message. (it also says that if I have Kapersky turn it off etc...) I don't have anything from wc3 running and the only antivirus I have is ad-aware (that I know of)

Well shit... I just tried running it and got the same message. I don't know what to tell you. I guess we're both screwed.

aww...
well at least I'm not alone =)
Anybody else having this problem or knows how to fix it? I've searched everywhere and found no solution.

Here's step-by-step what I did:
1.) download the file using 7-zip
2.) Extracted all files to a folder called NEWGEN on my desktop.
3.) Rebooted computer (I did NOT open program yet)
4.) Opened NewGen Warcraft
5.) Got an error message, I hit do not send.
6.) Opened NewGen WE
7.) Same as 5

HELP ME! What did I do wrong?
This time I did NOT get the message that I need to close antivirus/have another instance of wc3 running.
I use Windows XP on a decent computer

Have you got the latest wc3 patch?
It upgrades your WE and makes it unusable with NewGen

Just get the old WE from Kc's sig (If he still has it) and replace your current one. (The exe file)

You never dragged all of the files into X:\Program Files\Warcraft III\

Actually if you read the readme it warns you not to put it in the WC III directory as it could overwrite files the game needs t function properly.

    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
