Jass Obsfucation

[dead_or_alivex]

I was wondering about the general mechanics of obsfucation of Jass. I tried deprotecting DotA 6.49b, and saw in http://forum.wc3edit.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2522 this topic that the weirdly structured code and function names were due to optimization. Is that what obsfucated code looks like? And is there a way to undo it (besides manually) to make reading clearer?

Object Ids aren't really a problem with the program JJ posted in the thread I linked to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way. Will obsfucation affect custom objects/imported files as well?

Also, how is obsfucation done anyway? I'm quite new to this, and I'm just wondering about all these things. I'm trying to add cheats or anything; it's just this funny general-knowledge-thing I have.

wc3mapoptimizer4.5 - Vexorians optimizer is how its done..

Obfuscated code looks like what is going on in notepad in this picture:


You can unobfuscate it by just copying it all and then pasting it into JassCraft. Obfuscation won't mess up anything, it just makes it hard for humans to read. Same with the functions; they are named things like lolololololo to make them hard to read too. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscated_code.
