well there is only one world editor. and it comes with the warcraft 3 game..

there are many other add-ons, the best, in my opinion being jass new gen pack, and egui if you use GUI to trigger

I agree. I don't JASS but I still use newgen and it is amazing. I'm probably going to be installing EGUI as well once my ban lifts.

There are several Warcraft 3 World Editors around here, and most known are:

World Editor - Unlimited
World Editor - NewGen


But if you don't use JASS, use normal World Editor. Otherwise, use NewGen.

Hey StRoNgFoE. Remember me?

Anyways, the best editor to use whether you use GUI or JASS is NewGen. The only feature of WEU is those stupid custom functions they have which make the map un-openable in any other editor.

Why would anybody use the normal World Editor over JNGP? That said, I've just reminded myself that there are some problems with NewGen GUI regarding hashtables.

however, how long will the jassnewgen remain compatible with new patches? the world editor unlimited seemed to become incompatible a while back. it would be a shame to make a map and then all of a sudden not be able to play it when a new patch comes out.

Scubazoo, you can modify anything to be compatible with a new patch, you just need to find where the incompatibility comes from and then change it to be compatible. If a patch were to break JNGP, Pitzer (or is Pipedream in charge now?) would release an updated JNGP.

Anyways, if you are on a Mac or Linux, there are no custom editors you can use (yet) and I don't know if there will ever be any. However, there are a couple of custom editors for windows.

• JNGP 1.5d — Includes Grimoire, TESH, and wehack.lua, and outdated Reinventing the Craft and JassHelper.
• World Editor Unlimited — The 'other' custom editor. Unfortunately, the most reliable download is on wc3c.net, and their server is currently down, and the use of WEU is highly frowned upon.

My suggestion is to get JNGP, and get an updated JassHelper folder to replace the folder that comes with NewGen. Then you should integrate Reinventing the Craft in case you ever want to play an RtC game or develop your own, it's nice to have.
