Patch 1.19

09-20-2005, 04:04 PM

There's a new patch out, but it doesn't bring anything dramatically new to the trigger editor, or the world editor as a whole. Most of the changes are just rewording and reordering of some functions. The only thing new (at least according to the changelog, which has been known to forget to mention some changes in the past) are some tournament triggers, although their possible use is unknown so far (at least the changelog doesn't explain it).

Taur	Has no one tested the new triggers?

Anitarf	What's to test? They are apparently intended for battle net tournament use, so if used outside that, I assume the tournament event never happens and the functions all return 0. I don't know how the tournaments worked so far without these triggers, and what can those who make custom maps do with them anyway.

Vexorian	The tournament stuff was already available in common.j for JASS "use" This patch was deceptive for guys like me, but GUI guys finally have the access to features of previous patches that were implemented lamely.
