• Main Information: JASS NEWGEN PACK version 1.5e
• Latest scripts
• Advertisements

In this new version we have implemented new stuff, more access to specific tools, help files and (hopefully) a nicer experience to the final user. If you have any comment or suggestion about how to improve this pack, just propose it here. The features included in this pack are the following:

• Grimoire (version 1.5)
• Vexorian's jasshelper compiler (version 0.A.2.B)
• Cohadar's jasshelper compiler (version 2012-03-10)
• PJass (1.0m)
• PitzerMike's Grim Extension pack 1.0b
• TESH 0.7.1.1 (Unofficial update by Van Damm)
• UMSWE (5.0)
• Risc's Colorizer FINAL. Requires .NET framework to run
• ScorpioT1000's Campaign Builder (0.1)

The final result is a world editor that compiles vJass code, uses the latest PJass to check for errors, highlights jass code, has a proper testing environment, supports visual preview of colored tooltips and can use grim extension pack as well. Not to mention that jasshelper also saves backups of whatever you save so it is also safer.

Important Note: This version has removed Reinventing the Craft (RtC) plugin because it generates more complications than benefits to the final user. If you want to use this tool in your project you must use a previous version of JNGP which can be found at wc3c.net. Here we will not support this feature.

Magtheridon96	[System] ModeManager Description This system allows to you to create game commands and modes. You can assign a function callback for whenever this command/mode is used. For a player to use a certain command/mode, you must authorize him. This also allows you to give a certain player the ability to select a game mode. You can also lock a player rendering him unable to use anything. This makes the system faster, because then it won't have to go through the loop for nothing. Each mode has a boolean 'flag'. This boolean can be used any way you desire. For example, you could use it to indicate an activated mode. This system allows several mode strings to be accepted in the same string.        [Snippet] GetUnitRegeneration Description The title explains it all. [Snippet] BufferEx Description I was in need of something to make messages in Warcraft III pop out Type-writer style, and that would require a Buffer. And since I had some other things that needed to use a buffer (Like a Unit order queue and an AI-Action/Behavior system), I decided that I needed to make them run off of one Buffer system. Hence, I wrote this. The reason I called it BufferEx is because Nestharus' Save/Load system uses a library called Buffer which can be found in the Small Code Snippets thread at the Hive Workshop. [Snippet] MessageQueue Description Enqueues messages to display with one call rather than having multiple calls. All messages will be displayed based on the longest duration given for any message in one trigger function call stack. call MessageQueue.push("Hello", 2) call MessageQueue.push("Okay", 4) Both of the above messages will be displayed for 4 seconds. [System] ElapsedGameTime Description Don't be fooled by the title, this is more than just a simple Elapsed Game Time manager. This system also allows you to register elapsed game-time events. With the current configuration, the limit is 3.41 years in the future. I hope this isn't inconvenient. I apologize for this limitation and I also hope it won't make this resource seem useless to you. You can also get a formatted elapsed game-time string. [System] SoundTools Description This system allows you to play a sound immediately after creating it (Which is impossible inside Warcraft III) Basically, all what it does is start a timer and play the sound. It also recycles these sounds to decrease the amount of RAM used up. [Snippet] FlyHeight Description Warcraft III movement types are pretty bugged. It would be much better to write them from scratch. This system allows you to create flying units with changeable heights. [Snippet] RegisterPlayerUnitEvent Description This system was made to replace that cumbersome GTrigger by Jesus4Lyf. Special thanks to Bribe, azlier and BBQ. (The most awesome people I know /o/) [Snippet] StringIndexer Description This system generates an index for any string below 8191. [System] Heal Description This system efficiently handles healing units instantly and over time. [Snippet] IsUnitChanneling Description This is a small and clear resource that detects if a unit is channeling or not.
moyack	[System] Unit Recycler & Simple Damage Detection System Description Introduction: This system is the result of working with a damage detection system that actually can be safe (AKA avoid totally the DestroyTrigger() function), so one solution to this issue is to avoid as much as possible (hopefully completely) the destruction of units and therefore the EVENT_DAMAGED triggers related to them, and the only way to make it possible is by recycling the units. The current result is a system that recycle most type of units (summoned and buildings simply don't work for their harcoded properties). Why is convenient this system? because the game won't need to allocate memory creating units, instead, they'll be backed up for a later use, which can improve your map performance. This can be very useful in maps where the unit spawning is a very common task (like AoS, footies, etc). What's the issue with buildings and summoned units?? Buildings have limitations in moving them (they can be moved but their basement remains in the original place, which won't allow the construction of new units in those places). About summoned units, their dead is totally harcoded by the summoning abilities and can't be stopped by detecting the damage, therefore they can't be recycled. How it works? This library takes into account units that are being damaged, and detects if they're going to die (if the damage dealt to a unit is enough to kill them), if that situation happens, then it will be moved to the heaven, a place that you define in your map where the units are restored, cleaned and left ready for later use. Additionally this system offer a set of replacement functions which will help to this system to recycle units more efficiently. [Snippet] Parabolic Function Description This function takes as a parameters the distance that the parabolic movement should move (d) and the maximum height the projectile will flight (h). So x is a value between 0 and d, and the function will return the height for that value. As a side note, if x < 0 or x > d then this function will return negative values. [Snippet] Timed Effects Description So... have you been needing a simple way (or function) to create an effect temporally and don't worry about destroying it? or you're needing that an effect with different animations (birth, stand, death) will show all of them?? if your answer is yes to any of those questions, then you're in the right place. This script is used in my project Power of Corruption, as you'll see, it's simple as hell. [Snippet] RegisterAnyUnitEvent Description A library to reduce the time writing the same shit. I took some code ideas from a similar resource approved here. This one supports all the possibilities in calling the trigger. If user defines the condition and action functions this function will return the respective trigger, so it can be controlled by other instance (just in case).
Purgeandfire	[Snippet] AddSpecialEffectZ Description Another simple snippet. It is the good ol' technique to make an effect have a Z-coordinate, allowing it to float Z units above the ground. It works by creating an invisible platform, adding the effect, and then removing the platform. Note: Creating too many at a time can cause short lag spikes. If this occurs, you may want to switch to use invisible dummy units instead. [Snippet] DisableUnitMovement Description Disables the movement of a particular unit. This method was discovered by WaterKnight (or at least, it was first exposed to the public by WaterKnight) in this thread: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/setunitpropwindow-disableunitmovement-206527/ I made this library to be a simple wrapper for it. Of course, this is all inlineable, but it is a useful technique for people to know. Setting a unit movespeed to 1 will still allow it to move (ever so slowly) and will interrupt orders. Ensnares ground units and whatnot. This has no debuff, and works 100%. [System] WordWrap Description http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_wrapping This is not as featured/precise as text editor word wrapping, but it does the job pretty well. The description is in the documentation. [System] Track Description This manages trackable objects in such a way that it actually improves functionality and has an interface to make even the toughest projects very readable. It allows you to: - Create trackables for specific players. (without desyncs) - Easily register a trackable click and trackable hover. - Retrieve which player clicked the trackable. - Retrieve trackable information - the model, x, y, z,  and facing. Trackable2 allows for similar functionality, but this one is improved in both speed and handle efficiency. There are some cases where trackable2 has unnecessary lag/freezes, but the Track library fixes it. This is one of the only systems I haven't completely rewritten time and time again. This is the same thing as the hive version but I improved the documentation a bit for readability.
Troll-Brain	[vJass] LocalHelper Description This is a less verbose way to handle local code stuff than the usual one, if GetLocalPlayer() == ... It doesn't use any handle comparing to the alternative ForceAddPlayer / IsPlayerInForce. It's also faster, but who care ... Anyway if you care that much about efficiency you would simply inline it and use a not array global variable.

• Wiki Section: Here you can generate documentation. Right now all the functions in jass / vJASS can have a basic documentation. Just test it in some jass code.
• Media section: Here you can submit archives of all the types managed by Warcraft III and Starcraft II. Additionally you can create album according to your needs, upload files in mass or individually up to 20MB.
• Blog Section: If you love to share your thoughts about gaming or probaly something related to jass, you can do it here. You can start it posting in the Gaming Zone board.
• And last but not least, The Community Section: Here you'll find all the sections where to discuss your questions about jass and programming in general. Don't be shy, we don't bite

Vexorian jasshelper is necessary if you use one of the few codes which depends on some specific compiling order and cohadar's jasshelper comes with new loop keywords and compiles faster

Totally agree..
