editing units in protected map [help please]
Posted: June 9th, 2007, 3:34 am
I was trying to go through a process someone told me to edit units in a protected map w/o deprotecting it, something like, extract war3map.w3u, import into a new map, edit units, export file, import back into original map.
I was trying to change the mana regen on some units. But when I do this, and I try to play the map, I get an error saying war3map.w3u is corrupt, and WC3 crashes.
What I did - I extracted war3.map.w3u from the target map.
I opened WE, created a new map, and imported war3map.w3u, and changed the path from custom (war3importedfiles or whatever) to just the filename.
I saved, closed the map, and reopened it, and than edited the units as I wanted, saved, closed the map, extracted war3map.w3u, and than used winmp3master to reinsert the edited war3map.w3u, and overwrote the old one, than closed the map, and tried to play it in WC3
If anyone knows how to do this correctly, I could really use some pointers, please =)
