by looking_for_help

1. Introduction

Historical Notes

2. Installation and Requirements

To install the new TESH to your Warcrat 3 Trigger Editor, just download the attached zip-file, unzip it and put the folder in your jassnewgenpack5d installation folder:

Download the attached zip-file.
Unzip it using 7zip for example.
Make sure the path in the world_editor_exe_path.ini file is the correct path to the Reforged World Editor.exe.
The default path after a standard installation, C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\_retail_\x86_64\World Editor.exe, is already defined there,
so usually you can skip this step.
If necessary, create an exception in your antivirus for the WorldEditorTESH.exe.

3. New Functionality

There is tons of new functionality, both compared to the first TESH and to the older versions of TESH 2.0 (before version 0.9).

Many of the features are already listed in the Version 0.9 changelog. To list some here:

Fixed the input latency bug in the World Editor
Fixed the trigger corruption bug.
Added options dialog to allow user customization of styles and general options
Almost double styles configurable compared to the old TESH
Various options allow you to configure autocomplete behavior as well
Different general options allow you for example to enable/disable warnings, use reduced folding or enable/disable auto-braces, vertical line, line numbers and many more
Autocomplete window can now be configured to dynamically grow/shrink while typing and only listing matching items
Escape characters are now highlighted within strings
Int, Hex and Float numbers can now be styled differently
Nested block-comments are now highlighted correctly depending on their nesting level
Nesting levels can have a different style as well in block-comments (up to a nest level of 2)
URL hyperlinks in strings and comments are now highlighted and are CTRL-Click sensitive
Braces have now a primary and a secondary style for highlighting matches
User includes (functions) can be added to the highlighter by customized text files (like in the old TESH)
User includes can be reloaded and removed without the need to restart the editor
Function list also adds user includes
Function list now distinguishes between (normal) constants and events
Trigger templates can now be configured (both the button and the menu entries)
Users can build their own structure for trigger templates which is updated on the fly in the TESH menu
Keywords (normal, string and character keywords) are now stored in a SQLite database and can therefore also be modified from outside (including calltips and function list descriptions)
Search string for Trigger Editor window can now be configured by the .ini file "trigger_editor_name.ini"
New about dialog with more than 40 did-you-know messages
Improved performance
Fixed various bugs
