Well, at least they tried:

Cool thing is you can toggle through these by clicking the logo not needing to go to options every time.

Did anyone else get weird syntax check errors in the World Editor after the patch? vJass and JassHelper are still enabled but I get some syntax errors in generated lines with global variables now.

Old versions of my map cannot be started anymore:

Does anybody know how they broke old maps again? Is it some tooling stuff or some natives? I would like to fix my map but I don't know how. JassHelper and pjass don't report any issues, it is just Warcraft III and the World Editor. It isn't the object data either because I exported it and imported it into another map and there was no issue. I suspect something in the script. My map uses a custom scripts/common.j and scripts/common.ai but importing that into another map did not cause a problem?

edit:

They have removed these natives from scripts/common.j:

native RequestExtraIntegerData                     takes integer dataType, player whichPlayer, string param1, string param2, boolean param3, integer param4, integer param5, integer param6 returns integer
native RequestExtraBooleanData                     takes integer dataType, player whichPlayer, string param1, string param2, boolean param3, integer param4, integer param5, integer param6 returns boolean
native RequestExtraStringData                      takes integer dataType, player whichPlayer, string param1, string param2, boolean param3, integer param4, integer param5, integer param6 returns string
native RequestExtraRealData                        takes integer dataType, player whichPlayer, string param1, string param2, boolean param3, integer param4, integer param5, integer param6 returns real

All the more reason to switch over to Community Edition.

Seriously, everyone who told me about it heavily undersold it. CE is amazing.

I'd like to dedicate tonight's AI song that I generated to your post here. I was reading it, and I ended up getting inspired to type out the lyrics for another musical masterpiece for the AI web portals to shoot out at a me. I uploaded it below:

Patchday Theme Song [explicit] - Music

I made this song with Suno AI. It is a song about patches ruining WC3 customs. They're telling me that because I didn't pay Suno for this song, this song cannot be used commercially, so you can keep that in mind if it's really important to you to generate revenue for a big AI company that makes...

That's the only change? Can you upload common.j/Blizzard.j/common.ai somewhere? I need them for jassdoc etc. but cannot extract them easily myself.

 

[Barade]

I have extracted the three scripts common.j, common.ai and Blizzard.j on 17.04.2025 with a CASC viewer.
You can check for more changes.

Is there any good command line CASC extractor for Windows? A batch script which always extracts these 3 files would be useful for comparison.

Bro give me a break, I'd hardly had any interaction with Blizzard for ~15 years* before buying Reforged because I wanted to start playing with the editor, and assumed there was no other way. What were you supposed to do if you couldn't find your disks from a liftime ago? I assume this site isn't pro-piracy, right?


*If you don't count playing a Vanilla private server for a couple years; Kronos if anyone's interested.

That's on you man, I can still pull out every single physical copy game I've ever bought for PC and install via disc. Even those from 20+ years ago. I still have my original starcraft discs, age of empire discs, and a bunch of others.
