Why a separate upload?
Why not simply update this: YDWE - Map Editor

I present to you the best map editor for WC3
Allows make map in 1.26 or Reforged mode.
Regardless of whether you make a map with features from Reforged or not, you must have Warcraft 1.26 or 1.27. This is required for YDWE to work.
You can use my pure Warcraft 3 1.26 from Eurobattle
Compatibility of maps created in YDWE PK: 1.26 - Reforged same as JNGP
Supported languages: JASS, vJASS, Zinc (no cJass)
YDWE PK will not launch you have previously run the reforged world editor. First you need to run Fix after reforged editor.reg in ydwe folder
Features:
This is more smoothest version compared to the classic YDWE.
PK edition aims to optimize and reveal full, or atleast more YDWE potential.
I tried to reduce gap between GUI and JASS users, by adding new GUI functions/capabilities, as well by optimization of final code and remove leaks.
JASS is still the best method for create map, however situation now looks like this: [JASS] > [YDWE PK GUI] > [YDWE GUI] > [GUI]
Even just re-save map in YDWE PK edition will make your map more optimized than after JNGP or other editor with default GUI

Features:
- SLK - optimization before map test (can greatly reduce loading speed of large maps) comparison of speed on the old version of my RPG
- Supports multi-opening (you can open several YDWE or YDWE + JNGP)
- Allow warcraft 3 multi-launch
- Additional multi-window map test mode
- Best built-in text coloring plugin
- Includes latest pjass and TESH
- Optimization and anti-leaks for default GUI function like BJ and Swapped. Note: Many standard bj functions have built-in leaks that you cannot fix if you simply use these GUI/JASS functions in other editors.

- Parsing unknown GUI functions, thanks to which you can open maps with unknown for YDWE functions.
- Powerful custom GUI.
- Core YDWE GUI (Unbelievable section)
- Local variables that do not need to be declared at the top of the code and cleared at the end of the function
- Local timers: Which do not force you to specify another trigger, and also automatically transfer [Unbelievable] Local Variables through a hash table.
- Local triggers: Same capabilities as local triggers.
- Comfortable Hashtable analogue "Custom Value" which does not require an integer id, you can specify the object itself, and allows you to specify a string as a key, which is then automatically converted to an integer, but unlike StringHash there will never be collisions.
- Selection units in AoE without new function (Unit loop from jass) - Additional functions from Jass. (Ability to create objects in X/Y coordinates and much more)
- Advanced custom GUI
- Ability to insert Jass code anywhere in the GUI function. You don't need to break the function's GUI wrapper if you need to use Jass code.
- Comment box (for ease of sorting)
- Functions to delete objects after some time without having to create a timer manually.
- Creating objects in "Сalls" Which allows you to immediately set variables and place objects in them. It also allows you to do handy things like this:
- "Multi-functions" that allow you to do some actions faster. Allows you to quickly copy and paste a function to change 1 parameter and not re-specify all the others
- "Hashtable By Code" Which have functions for save/load/checking if there is saved data/remove, for each data type. In addition, these functions allow you to specify any keys (integer/hashstring/jass code/use #defines)
- Custom script code is highlighted in a separate color.
- Rect/Region/Location types are properly named (no more Points) - Complete systems with automatic creation of objects and removal if you no longer use this functions. Additionally, these systems don't put their many global variables into your GUI global variables section, creating unnecessary clutter there.
- Damage Engine
- Custom Stats Systems
- Test Commands Activate
- Debuff Duration System
- Additional Item Slots
- Core YDWE GUI (Unbelievable section)
- Unlocked 76 hidden game constants

- Boost Preprocessor
You can use some directives like: #define #endif #else #if #ifdef #ifndef #include /etc
#define is a macros, example of using: use this anywhere in code #define print(s) call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, 10, s)
Now you can use print("any text") for fast debug message to all players in 10 seconds, even without using "call"
Green part will convert into red part after map saving.
Some other examples for using:
#define Skill_Invul 'Avul' skill id
#define Order_Move 851986 order id
#define Hash_Dmg_Taken 10 hashtable key
Also you can make constructions like this:
If you have #define TestMode in your code, will created some test feathures, but if not, instead of test stuff will created classic condition for RPG - no solo game.JASS:// This is just my defines #define Max_Players 9 #define print(s) call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, 10, s) function AfterStart takes nothing returns nothing local integer i = 0 local integer count = 0 #ifdef TestMode globals integer Control = 0 integer GTU = 0 integer FogTestInt = 0 fogmodifier FogTest trigger TriggerSelectUnit = CreateTrigger() unit SelectedUnit = null group TestUnits = CreateGroup() endglobals call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(TriggerSelectUnit, P[0], EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SELECTED, null) call TriggerAddAction(TriggerSelectUnit, function SelectUnitAct) set FogTest = CreateFogModifierRect(P[0], FOG_OF_WAR_VISIBLE, bj_mapInitialPlayableArea, true, false) call FogModifierStart(FogTest) set FogTestInt = 1 call InitTrig_Select() call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(TestUnits, gg_rct_All_Heroes, function TestUnits_Filter) print("Test Mode") #else // Check solo game loop exitwhen i > Max_Players if GetPlayerSlotState(Player(i)) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING and GetPlayerController(Player(i)) == MAP_CONTROL_USER then set count = count + 1 endif set i = i + 1 endloop if count < 2 then set i = 0 loop exitwhen i > Max_Players call CustomDefeatBJ(Player(i), "No solo game") set i = i + 1 endloop endif #endif endfunction
For #if need red value, like "#define TestMode 1" but for #ifdef #ifndef - no.
Also you can import your code from external files with using #include
Exapmle: #include "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Jass for vs\Glory\Events\Chat Event.j"
All directives will work for code inside YDWE and from import files
Current best way to work with code outside of YDWE is vscode plugin - Pseudo-Lua
Think of it as a Lua preprocessor.
You can not only create objects but also perform various operations with future jass-code, but this does not work in game runtime, only before map save.
You can create and change objects from object editor by using lua code.
Start block: <?
End block: ?>
Example:
This code will create skill based on 'AIbk' with new rawcode 'PA00'JASS:<? local slk = require 'slk' local o = slk.ability.AIbk:new('PA00') o.DataA1 = 9999999.0 o.DataB1 = 1.0 o.Rng1 = 9999999.0 o.Hotkey = "B" --o.Buttonpos_1 = 3 --o.Buttonpos_2 = 1 o.Cool1 = 0.0 o.Name = 'YDWE - Test Blink' ?>
This is a blink with 9999999.0 range and 0.0 sec cd.
All parameters taked from object editor fields with ctrl + D
Changed parameters will updating/rewrite after map save.
"ability" can be changed to unit/etc.
This is a very good way to easy changing stats for balancing units/etc.
Also, without lags with editing some fields/creating new objects in object editor.
When you specify a new ravcode for units, depending on the register first case, will created hero or normal unit.
local o = slk.unit.Hpal:new('pA06') = unit based on paladin
local o = slk.unit.Hpal:new('PA06') = hero based on paladn
This way you can quickly copy, for example, the appearance and voice of a unit in order to make it a hero.
When converting a hero into a unit and vice versa, unnecessary fields from the object editor will be deleted, that is, you will not be able to make a hero without basic stats, etc.
Here you can also use #define to make reading/writing more easier
JASS:#define _Lua_Base local slk = require 'slk' #define _Lua_Unit_Damage o.dmgplus1 #define _Lua_Unit_Name o.Name <? _Lua_Base local o = slk.unit.hfoo:new('PU00') _Lua_Unit_Damage = 999 _Lua_Unit_Name = 'YDWE - Test Footman' ?> - Can use functions from Reforged
You can not:
- Use any reforged objects from object editor (new abilities/etc).
- Use reforged Lua as main programming language, only Jass.
- Edit map with hd models mode.
- Add more player slots than 12. But you can use additional slots from Reforged through functions, for example to give a unit to computer player.
What are you getting:
- Taking advantage of all the other benefits of YDWE:
- Advanced GUI
- Additional functions from jass.
- Core-YDWE functions like (local variables, hashtable analugues, automatic local timers/triggers, etc.
- Advanced GUI features (you can insert Jass code anywhere in gui function/etc).
- Embedded systems with automatic creation of the necessary objects (Damage engine/Custom Stats System/etc)
- Literally all functions from Reforged, even those that were not added to reforged as gui (frames/etc).
- Bullit-in slk-optimization.
- BJ functions optimization.
- Anti leak optimization.
- Boost preprocessor.
- Pseudo lua.
- All Jass functions are highlighted by TESH.
This means that you can transfer map to any editor without problems. Unlike reforged editor, which binds the map to new (reforged) versions.
You can also use any old programs without problems, for example w3x2lni or other slk optimizers. - Advanced GUI
This is more smoothest version compared to the classic YDWE.
PK edition aims to optimize and reveal full, or atleast more YDWE potential.
I tried to reduce gap between GUI and JASS users, by adding new GUI functions/capabilities, as well by optimization of final code and remove leaks.
JASS is still the best method for create map, however situation now looks like this: [JASS] > [YDWE PK GUI] > [YDWE GUI] > [GUI]
Even just re-save map in YDWE PK edition will make your map more optimized than after JNGP or other editor with default GUI

[Difference between YDWE 1.32.15 En 1.1 and YDWE PK Edition 1.0]
- YDWE now insert into the map only those additional functions/variables/other stuff, that you use.
- Removed DZAPI and JAPI functions
- Improved GUI translation
- Returned and translated additional game constants (like Critical Strike tag text duration/color/etc)
- Fixed missing we strings
- Removed all languages exept English
- Removed/changed a lot of functions and systems from classic YDWE.
Some functions will return in future.
- Some functions has been marked as [Not Recomended]

However, you cannot test map using YDWE, you will have to do it manually via wc3 reforged.
Also, at the moment in YDWE no reforged GUI functions and JASS highlighted functions in TESH.
Also, map will be saved as classic 1.26, this means that objects from object editor will be from version 1.26.
But you get the opportunity to make a map using reforged functions as well as YDWE functionality such as its own functions and systems, as well as preprocessor and pseudo-lua commands, which is very important if you can understand this.
New GUI functions:
Added defines as default:
Added new multi-functional functions:
They use native functions depending on your choice

- Fixed conflicts between core YDWE systems and Reforged mode.
- Literally all functions from Reforged added to GUI, even those that are not in the Reforged world editor in GUI form.
- All new types for variables and other related things have also been added.
- If you don’t see functions for creating objects (for example CreateFrame), then they are located not in “Actions” but in “Calls”
- To use you need to create a variable and then set it as "CreateFrame/etc"
- This is done specifically because some native functions have no bj analogues which can set global varriables like "last created unit".
- Also note that new types currently cannot be used for core YDWE functions like [Unbelievable Local Variable].
- The [R] mark has been removed from all old functions/constants.
- Now the [R] mark means functions that are only available for Reforged.
- YDWE PK config option "Allow Reforged Functions" Now adds Reforged GUI Functions, adds all Reforged functions in TESH (Jass syntax highlighting) and allows you to run the map for testing through Warcraft 3 reforged. Requires restarting YDWE PK.
- Because some names are too long, the following constants are placed in TESH under abbreviated names.
- You can use both short and long versions in your code, however TESH will only highlight the short versions.
- List:
- Short Name [ABILITY_RLF_MANA_REGEN_BONUS_AS_FRACTION_OFNORMAL] Original Name [ABILITY_RLF_MANA_REGENERATION_BONUS_AS_FRACTION_OF_NORMAL]
- Short Name [UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_AREA_OF_EFFECT_MEDIUM_DAMAG] Original Name [UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_AREA_OF_EFFECT_MEDIUM_DAMAGE]
- Launching Warcraft 3 from the config menu via the "Lauch Warcraft 3" button will now launch the Reforged version if the appropriate mode is selected
- Added file "ReforgedPath.txt"
- If you are going to test the map in Reforged mode, you need to specify the path to Warcraft III.exe in it.
- In the future I plan to add the path to Warcraft 3 Reforged to the config menu.
- Added "null" GUI preset for String (because "empty string" and "null" are not the same thing)
- Added GUI preset JASS_MAX_ARRAY_SIZE for integer.
- Fixed leak in reforged function "CreateBuildCommandButtonEffectBJ"
- 3 Reforged bj functions has been optimized.
- Added hidden extra icons and models. 112 icons/130 models. In fact, this is a fix for an error that was made during translation; this stuff was originally supposed to be in YDWE
- Changed GUI functions:
- [Unbelievable] Local Timer - Clear. Added "PauseTimer" before "DestroyTimer"
- As some people have noticed, if you don't pause the timer before destroying, sometimes bugs can happen.
- [Systems] Activate Test Commads - Added commands:
- -ci Create item by rawcode
- -cu Create unit by rawcode
- -aa Add ability by rawcode
- -ra Remove ability by rawcode
- Added Saves counter on World Editor screen. Explanation:
- All editors created on the basis of World Editor crash after several saves, which is why you lose the progress of the last save.
- The number of possible saves differs from map to map and depends on its "size" (objects, triggers, etc)
- This counter will help you understand when it is time to restart YDWE PK.
- Items created in JNGP have "EditorSuffix" parameter, which is not in YDWE and Reforged editor.
Therefore, when using pseudo lua to create objects, an error will be thrown until you delete the object and recreate it in YDWE. - Sometimes some icons stop displaying until YDWE is restarted.
- Under some conditions the built-in slk-optimization may not work.
- Under some conditions, a message about creating/modifying/deleting objects via pseudo lua may appear every time the map is saved.

These versions are too different.
If compatibility with maps from previous patches is severely lost, it’s difficult to call it just the next patch.
In addition, this editor is designed to create maps without using the Chinese api and other functionality that we will never get.
A lot of unnecessary stuff has been cut out here and new things have been added in place, the percentage difference between the versions is too large, at least in my opinion.
I can rename it to PKWE if you think it would be better, I did not do this out of respect for the original authors.

No, only bug fixes if someone reports them.
Maintaining two different versions is difficult, and the methods of previous authors are outdated and much inferior to mine.
Nobody will use the old version because it is much worse for the average user, and obviously we will never have a platform with support for DZAPI and JAPI.
Okay, maybe it will be used by those who made the map on YDWE GUI and are experiencing difficulties with the transition to the new version, but I don’t think there are many such people, because I periodically check new maps and find no traces of YDWE, people continue to make maps using JNGP/Reforged GUI crutches.
However, let’s not forget that during all this time there was not a single proposal or bug report (as far as I remember)
I can also say that this version will not be updated without feedback.
I have already seen how community treats people who want to help them and also my remote Debuff Duration System, which some people gave a low rating only because it did not have default GUI crutches and therefore the system was less friendly to beginners (and now it is added to YDWE PK)
The original author has received thousands of support messages in China, but I'm seeing people showing more interest in the Community Edition or Better Triggers than in YDWE, even though the vast majority of users are still making GUI maps.
Based on this, you probably understand how I feel, so this is my last attempt.
I provided you with a new, clean Excalibur, if you cannot remove it from the stone, that is your problem.

Hmm. Then consider if it's not pointless to have two separate ones. Maybe the threads should be fused and the most recent version kept?

I mostly use WE mods to increase tile space.
JNGP did that admirably, if clunkily.
This editor mod here lets you shoot yourself in the foot with that, because replacing cliff tiles is not something either the editor nor WC3 like.
I would argue that's actually a good thing, because you can force some different model walls.
There should still be a 16 entry limit on tiles though, because that appears to be the maximum limit both in the editor and in the game.
That newly generated maps are by default not able to start is a problem.
The improved loading time is great.

Most people will assume this editor will be incompatible with latest wc3 patch, because custom editors normally have this issue of having serious bugs when played in more recent versions of wc3. I know you said in the description that this new version of YDWE is compatible with reforged, but that is a serious risk for anyone who makes a map with your tool, and then maybe finds out later that newest versions of wc3 cant play their map, since blizzard has no obligation to make new versions compatible with 3rd party world editors.
Also some of your comments come across in a small way as looking down on people who choose to use GUI, even though outside of that group of people who specialize in code, GUI is most accessible for the vast majority of map makers.

Okay, will rebranding to PKWE/other name suit you? Or delete old?
in any case, differences with old YDWE will become greater over time.
Partially compatible, you can use the reforged api, but you lose the opportunity for convenient testing (and everything connected with it, for example, slk optimization before map test)
It looks like you don't really understand how everything works.
1) I was told about possibility of using YDWE + Reforged by the person who made the Dance of the dragons map, which means that at least one user has already tested it, and then I checked it too.
2) YDWE uses only standard JASS 1.26 and even leaves objects from version 1.26, no problems can arise.
You can migrate your map to Reforged Editor at any time, since your map is based on the oldest version.
Once again, enabling Reforged support option allows you to save a map with functions from Reforged in YDWE without errors like "unknown function" What compatibility issues would you expect to see? this is literally the same as saving the map in Reforged itself.
In your opinion, person who does more for GUI users than anyone else despises them?
If you haven’t read, I have repeatedly said that I started with the GUI myself, in which YDWE helped me a lot.
I don't like the default GUI, I don't want to see or make hundreds of unreadable crutches like global udg_variables in the Damage Engine, a bunch of unnecessary triggers in the trigger editor and manual copying of abilities.
Everyone hated me on XGM because their community laughs at GUI users and offers to learn JASS, while I looked at the Chinese community and their YDWE and then began to say that they were wrong, we should help beginners like they did in China, and not laugh above them.
Your message looks like trolling, you can’t even imagine how many crutches I had to do so that GUI users wouldn’t do them.

1 guy told you that it is compatible, so you are assuming it is compatible. Every map I have seen with YDWE cannot be opened on 1.32+. W.E gets error and auto closes when trying to open. I think it is fair to say that most people will be scared to use any YDWE in their maps if they want their map to be playable on Blizzards Bnet platform. Even if you have modified YDWE to be open-able in 1.32+, all it needs if for a new wc3 patch to cause a bug with maps made using your tool, and then they won't be able to play their map on Bnet.
Okay maybe I misread your comments regarding your view on GUI users. But the vibe your comments gave was you are upset people are not using your tool even though you had done so much by making these tools. 3rd party editors will never take off in popularity because there is no way to know if they will still be compatible with future versions of Wc3 being released. Community edition of wc3 is only getting attention because people who are angry with Reforged think it might bring back Wc3 to its roots--- which won't happen, but they are free to feel that way. Putting effort into making 3rd party editor probably is not worth it if you want lots of people to use the tool, since the direction of hiveworkhop community is moving towards using the latest patches of Wc3, and not the older ones.

Problems?
Never try to argue with people who know more than you.
I already said that there will be no problems because it is impossible.
Do you know why YDWE maps don't open in the Reforged editor? because it does not have the GUI functions that YDWE has, and no editor other than YDWE can parse unknown functions.
If you made a map on YDWE and then for some reason decided to leave it, of course you will have to abandon all the GUI functions that YDWE gave you, you will have to remove them / convert them to JASS, and the pseudo functions and systems will have to be replaced with real ones .
However, this is all logical and is not a problem, because there are no other options, no one will give you better conditions than YDWE, because after the Reforged editor it is almost impossible to switch to older versions, because it affects the object editor and so on, at the same time YDWE it just forces you to give up its functions.
And yes, words of any map author are more important than the words of a commentator on the forum, because he tested it, and then I did too.
In addition, support for Reforged is not a priority since I am a supporter of old patches that allow maps to gather the largest audience.I just added the ability for those who want and can use such important things as preprocessor directives and which you will never get in Reforged editor.
Although I have no problem adding all the Reforged features to the GUI and enabling them along with this option.In theory, you can even launch a Reforged map for a test from YDWE and even do slk optimization.
But these are just theories, because if there is no demand, there will be no supply.
I'm not offended that people don't use YDWE, I'm just disgusted that people continue to do
You say that someone is afraid, this is the absolute norm, while some are afraid, others just do.
I made my map back when YDWE was very poorly translated and had quite a few bugs and questionable systems, and if someone is still afraid with good and clean version, I don’t forbid them, let them never fulfill their desire to make a good map without leaks.
The problem with a community is that you want someone to convince you to do something, to prove that everything is fine.
When I made the map, I was glad to discover a tool that gives me the necessary capabilities, I couldn’t even dream that they would make some convenient systems for me and was glad for any help, at the same time, right now I’m not seeing feedback, but assumptions that support Reforged can be problematic.
Perhaps you all shouldn't try to create maps and go to this section?
This is not like the attitude of people who are confident in themselves and have a desire to develop in something.

Okay, I missed translation of some errors, which is why you didn’t see notification that you can’t use “All Players” in actions, only in events.
If you want to send a message to all players, the best way is "GetLocalPlayer" which will select all real players who have the map running.

Reuploaded for some fixes.
Bj optimization:
before
#define SetUnitManaBJ(unit, value) SetUnitState(unit, UNIT_STATE_LIFE, RMaxBJ(0, value))
after
#define SetUnitManaBJ(unit, value) SetUnitState(unit, UNIT_STATE_MANA, RMaxBJ(0, value))
Custom stats system: wrong rawcodes for attack speed abilities

Today I will tell about one important advantage of YDWE that I have known about for a long time, but have not mentioned before.
Is: Advanced Debugging
Whenever you run wc3 1.26 through YDWE, it will catch some code errors in the running maps, regardless of whether the map is open for editor or slk-optimized.
It is important to note that these are errors that allow you to save the map without an error message, so until you notice that any function is not working correctly, you will not even know that you made a mistake.
I know for sure 2 types of errors that are caught this way:
1) An attempt to get a value from a variable that has not yet received a value (it was null)
2) Infinity loop.
I also know that there are others, but at the moment I do not have accurate information about this because I cannot compile YDWE and translate these errors (yes, no one is helping me)
Example: Launch wc3 1.26 via YDWE and start map "DotA_Allstars_7.04c7"
In the first seconds after the start, we see a pop-up window with two errors.
The same error can be caused several times, but how did I understand that these are 2 different errors? it's all about numbers, it's something like a line number, if they are different, then it's not the same error.
The "GKJ" function attempts to get a value from local variable "OIO", which was initially null.
Thus, we see that anyone can make a mistake and you won’t know about it until you notice that something is not working correctly.
This is another reason to use YDWE, and not blindly trust the opinions of people who are not trying to learn something new and are simply using old familiar tools.
Upd: work will 1.26-1.27 and also work while watching replays

Does this mean that custom maps saved from the current latest version reforged will open in this editor?

Alas, people who trusted Blizzard can no longer go back.
You can copy jass code, the rest most likely will not work.

A large patch to provide full support for Warcraft 3 Reforged.
Ahead of stupid questions:
Maps created in YDWE PK can use almost all the functionality from Reforged and at the same time remain compatible with old patches like 1.26.
Editor uses old data but can still use new functions, so you give up things like the ability to make 24 slots for players, but remain in the best compatibility mode (1.26).
People making maps in YDWE PK in Reforged mode can at any time abandon all this and switch to any other editor, of course, to do this they will have to remove the unique functions of YDWE PK GUI and things like boost preprocessor commands.
If you are already making a map on the Reforged Editor, you will not be able to switch to YDWE PK or any other editor, all you can do is transfer triggers in the form of Jass code.

[YDWE PK Edition 1.5]
- Fixed conflicts between core YDWE systems and Reforged mode.
- Literally all functions from Reforged added to GUI, even those that are not in the Reforged world editor in GUI form.
- All new types for variables and other related things have also been added.
- If you don’t see functions for creating objects (for example CreateFrame), then they are located not in “Actions” but in “Calls”
- To use you need to create a variable and then set it as "CreateFrame/etc"
- This is done specifically because some native functions have no bj analogues which can set global varriables like "last created unit".
- Also note that new types currently cannot be used for core YDWE functions like [Unbelievable Local Variable].
- The [R] mark has been removed from all old functions/constants.
- Now the [R] mark means functions that are only available for Reforged.
- YDWE PK config option "Allow Reforged Functions" Now adds Reforged GUI Functions, adds all Reforged functions in TESH (Jass syntax highlighting) and allows you to run the map for testing through Warcraft 3 reforged. Requires restarting YDWE PK.
- Because some names are too long, the following constants are placed in TESH under abbreviated names.
- You can use both short and long versions in your code, however TESH will only highlight the short versions.
- List:
- Short Name [ABILITY_RLF_MANA_REGEN_BONUS_AS_FRACTION_OFNORMAL] Original Name [ABILITY_RLF_MANA_REGENERATION_BONUS_AS_FRACTION_OF_NORMAL]
- Short Name [UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_AREA_OF_EFFECT_MEDIUM_DAMAG] Original Name [UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_AREA_OF_EFFECT_MEDIUM_DAMAGE]
- Launching Warcraft 3 from the config menu via the "Lauch Warcraft 3" button will now launch the Reforged version if the appropriate mode is selected
- Added file "ReforgedPath.txt"
- If you are going to test the map in Reforged mode, you need to specify the path to Warcraft III.exe in it.
- In the future I plan to add the path to Warcraft 3 Reforged to the config menu.
- Added "null" GUI preset for String (because "empty string" and "null" are not the same thing)
- Added GUI preset JASS_MAX_ARRAY_SIZE for integer.
- Fixed leak in reforged function "CreateBuildCommandButtonEffectBJ"
- 3 Reforged bj functions has been optimized.
- Added hidden extra icons and models. 112 icons/130 models. In fact, this is a fix for an error that was made during translation; this stuff was originally supposed to be in YDWE
- Changed GUI functions:
- [Unbelievable] Local Timer - Clear. Added "PauseTimer" before "DestroyTimer"
- As some people have noticed, if you don't pause the timer before destroying, sometimes bugs can happen.
- [Systems] Activate Test Commads - Added commands:
- -ci Create item by rawcode
- -cu Create unit by rawcode
- -aa Add ability by rawcode
- -ra Remove ability by rawcode
- Added Saves counter on World Editor screen. Explanation:
- All editors created on the basis of World Editor crash after several saves, which is why you lose the progress of the last save.
- The number of possible saves differs from map to map and depends on its "size" (objects, triggers, etc)
- This counter will help you understand when it is time to restart YDWE PK.

idk what are you talking about.
if you have previously run the "Reforged editor" you need to open the file "Fix after reforged editor.reg"

Of course WE PK is much better than classic YDWE because it was in the PK version that more serious changes began than improving the text translation.
At a minimum, there is: more gui optimization/many bug fixes/support for the unique Reforged map creating mode. More information can be found in the patch notes.
Perhaps some changes dont look cool being a line in a patch note, but behind each of them there is a lot of effort and creativity.
For example, the final code of the saved map after you have used one of any built-in system in YDWE PK and Classic YDWE.
