Jass broke my wc3...

Yeah, Idk what nomor did but when I went to run wc3 a bit ago and it called it a virus, so I clicked heal and then tried to run it again and it was uninstalled. So, I took the time out to reinstall wc3 and the same happened. Not sure what happened but this sucks.....

uhh we ran wc3 when we were testing the map..

Your virus scanner said wc3 was a virus when you went to play a map?
What virus scanner do you use, its probably a false positive and your scanner is deleting files wc3 needs

The only way a map could be a virus is by using an arbitrary code execution exploit which used the old retrun bug
But that was patched awhile ago (i think in version 1.22 or 1.21) and afaik theres no way to do it now

there is pat, but that isnt his problem

I didnt say that was his problem, only telling him that it couldnt be a virus, and that his virus scanner was being retarded

And theres no way to execute code like that anymore

The original return bug was:

Code:

function C2I takes code c returns integer
    return c
    return 0
endfunction

function I2C takes integer i returns code
    return i
    return null
endfunction

They fixed the ability to do a double return like that in 1.23 (i think)

Then after that you could do:

Code:

function Int takes integer i returns integer
    return i
endfunction

function Code takes code c returns code
    return c
endfunction

function C2I takes code c returns integer
    call Code(c)
    if false then
        return 0
    endif
endfunction

function I2C takes integer i returns code
    call Int(i)
    if false then
        return null
    endif
endfunction

local integer n = Int(C2I(function DoNothing))
local code c = Code(C2I(n))

Since false would never occur the if statement would never be true and the return 0 would never happen
Because of the way they fixed the old return bug, the last valid return would be used (which would be return c here), which would end up producing the same effect

But they fixed that in 1.24c

Theres still another return bug in 1.24c using the new hashtable stuff, but as far as i can tell it cant be used in a way to make a virus
And when i say virus im not talking about something that is merely capable of crashing wc3 with an error
Im talking about an actual virus, that can change files, permanently mess up your computer, steal passwords/account info/anything you type or do on your computer, or even allow someone to completely take over your computer

It\'s not running a map, it\'s running a game. Wc3 uninstalls automatically when I reinstall it. I cant even have it on my computer without it uninstalling once more.

Edit - I use AVG, it didn\'t start doing this until we ran jass, and avg said jass was a virus, something happened then, and now its disrupting the path from wc3 to the virus checkup. I don\'t believe it is AVG that\'s the problem, I think it was a problem with Jass.

Everybody on that site uses newgen, so you can say you were running that. it may be a common error, or it may have nothing at all to do with newgen editor. they'll reply within like 1 hour.

if you dont have an account, use mine:

asdfpoin // poin

I would but I don't have time for it, Ima be leaving in a few minutes, I'm just kinda mad that it's not running.

Jass is just a language, like C++ or HTML, and the tools to compile jass were already existent on your computer in warcraft. Guaranteed its not 'jass'. Best thing is to ask the helper. just post something fast

Never mind, I believe that I fixed it myself. I guess having knowledge about this stuff helps me a little bit. If your using a virus program is going to check every file, since we used Jass, jass messed with the wc3 settings which messed up AVG. I just added to the list of exceptions and blam, fixed.

pat ill give you a Picture



You should have dumbed it down because just reading his frist post i notied hes a little slow in the head, and couildnt solve his own problem so...

yah lol
