Hi,
I was working on this protect map about two months ago, and until now I don't know what kind of protection this map uses.
Problems:
- I can't replace more than one file on the MPQ (Example: file.mp3 and model.mdx or file1.mp3 and file2.mp3 etc).
- I can't replace "war3map.j" more than two times even If I edit it or don't, after the third replace the map wont start/playable anymore "This map size It's too big".
- I tried to rebuild the map were only 11 files was unknown and again after testing It on the game I was getting the same problem "This map size It's too big"
- I tried to rebuild all bvo versions from 1.0 to 5.0 even the beta versions but the only one I succeed rebuilding It was BVO 1.0 I removed only 5 of unknown files, the rebuilded version was working good but some stuffs was missing in the map like trees and others as I think and the map was unopenable in the WE.
What I need?
I need to add new sound files into the MPQ archive (i.e mp3/wav files) but I can't do that due to the Protection.
ok how about replacing the exist files (i.e mp3/mdx/blp etc)
I have made some changes on mp3 files, war3map.j, mdx, so I need to replace them In the MPQ...!
replacing the first file Is ok but the second replacing will lead the map to unstartable/unplayable "This Map size is too big"
I tried to replace files as structure but didn't work.
I tried to replace all files at once/replacing them one by one but didn't work.
I tried to replace only 2 files but didn't work x).
I tried all replace methods, even the mpq editor console method but also didn't work.
What I decided is:
- If the map size is over than 8mb the map wont start and "This map size is too big" message will appear when trying to start It.
- Everytime I replace the MPQ size increases even If the replaced file is unedited/stock.
- Replacing unedited/edit small files like mdx will able again more than 4 times until the MPQ sizes becomes 8mb.
I'm using Ladik's MPQ Editor, Notepad ++, and WC3 v1.24
