[req] deprotection help

Post by Maya »

hi guys

i have a problem deprotecting and restoring a map. First i want to say that i tryed to do it all by myself (all by myself = following GhettoChild's step by step :P) im stuck not knowing what to do and could use some advice. I want to restore the map (island defense) and continue to work on it (darox, the previous editor stoped).

the map can be found here
http://www.islanddefense.org/downloads/ ... 2.8.6b.w3x
i uploaded one of my attempts

i allready tryed to follow GhettoChilds guidei did the slow and the fast method it partially worked. Most of my units were restored (with unprotect) while i have problems with a mixed tileset ( i can fix it on my own, but i first want to know if i can use this map or should try it with another method). in the left upper corner are some units with black models ive searched and found nothing helpful. Can i just delete them? it looks like its part of the "preload system" nice but not necessary. Why are some units "fully restored" while some are just black cubes?

The jass file was restored to a point i thought it would work, the triggers were split but there are a lot of undecleared variables and things i dont understand (i do not know any script language but im willing to learn it.) is there a program/way i could use to fully restore it? I could redo everything in gui, but uh ... its gui :( (its a modded vampirism map for those who dont know id)

The items are gone wich isnt to bad i could redo them. i have seen people post a way to restore them but thats a minor problem.

What irritates me is that when i start the map, it crashes even when i delete all triggers and units. i also tryed to extract all files with MPQmaster and Ladiks MPQeditor and put it in a new map and deprotect it but it gives me a error (something like: unable to read levels)

Im stuck and i dont know what to try next. Its like following a street that suddenly ends and when you turn around to go back you dont know where you came from.

i bet i forgot somthing but its allready 11 pm here and i have to work tomorow. i hope you can point me in the right direction and please excuse my inglisch :P

If they're black cubes, you probably didn't get all the filenames, and you're missing a model or two.
