I'm using Battlestadium DON as an example, since it's right here in my maps folder and it has plenty of files. First off, go ahead and open the map with RMPQEx: Make sure you "auto search", and "add listfile". (find the listfile that came with x-Dep and use it.) We need to get a complete listfile; listfiles are lists of the filenames, and without a listfile the filenames would be "file00001.xxx" or something similar.



Pictures help you see where you are and where you're supposed to be, so I made a bunch of screenshots.
Next, save the listfile, and put it in the x-Dep folder as well as your map.



To save a little time, open up the x-Dep configuration settings and change your first line to what mine is:



After you've done that, rename your map name to mymap.w3x so that x-Dep will use it. Also, make sure your listfile is named "listfile.txt". Run x-Dep after you've ensured both of these things.


Since Battlestadium is primarily a Chinese map, SILK Object Console has problems dealing with it. So for now, my Battlestadium DON isn't deprotected completely, but most maps don't use the Widgetiser tool, so most of the time you won't need to worry about it.

(P.S.: Any map that MPQMaster won't open has their MPQ header damaged. Extract all of the files, and then try to use MPQEditor to generate a new .w3x archive with all of the files.)

I'll be using Twilight ORPG v1.11 as an example, and since it's played rather frequently and easy to crack, it's a good example. Go ahead and run MPQMaster, open your map, select your listfile, and your map should be opened.

If you see a file called "Attributes", DELETE IT, as it'll crash your game after editing the .j file. Now, we'll be looking for the war3map.j, and it'll be either at the bottom of the page, or in a folder called scripts at the top.



I'll go ahead and open up scripts, and here's my war3map.j file.



The war3map.j file is basically the triggers, and a few other things are stored in it, too. You should hopefully know that. Next, we'll go ahead and extract it to desktop.



When you get it on desktop, open JASSCraft and open up that .j file.



As you see, I highlighted "globals": that's where all the variables and triggers are set. Our key places for the cheatpack are "globals", "endglobals" and "function main".

You should already have JJ's CP open in notepad. Next, I copied the "globals" part of the CP and pasted it under globals in the .j file.



After you've done that, use CTRL+F and search for "endglobals". Look here:



Now, find the "endglobals" part of JJ's CP and copy it. Paste it under endglobals like I've done.



Now, Search for "function main". Once you've found it, copy JJ's "function main" part of his CP, and paste it. NOTE: If you see "locals" under the function main, paste JJ's part AFTER them.


After you've done that, do a syntax check to make sure you didn't make any mistakes.



After that, save.



Close JassCraft, go to desktop, open MPQMaster and find the war3map.j again. Right click it and use "add files".



Add your *new* war3map.j.
After you've done that, you'll need to flush the map:
"--> Operation --> Compact(Flush)"



Walah! You've successfully inserted a cheatpack.

Open your war3map.j in JassCraft, CTRL+F, and search for "singleplayer".



Why search for singleplayer? Most anticheat functions use "bj_isSinglePlayer" to detect if you're in a singleplayer game. If it is a singleplayer game, it kicks you, disables the save/load functions, or some other horrible thing that prevents you from playing.

Anyways, you should come across something like this:



Copy what I did here:



Make sure you don't delete the function itself, but delete the functions that relate to "bj_isSinglePlayer".





After you're done, do a syntax check, and you should know the rest. Reinsert the *new* .j file into your map.



Have fun cheating!

Q 1.)Do I need to deprotect my map to add a cheatpack or enable singleplayer?

A.) Nope, you can do either of the three without needing to do the other.
