Spazzler -- WC3 Map Corruptor

..You'd think he would have tested our common ways of getting around protections, seeing as he knows them.

Well, I'm asking you to give us some proof that you've gotten around my protection instead of throwing around misinformation, "master deprotector".

Sigh, instead of using blizzards' map, use the one he spazzlered, I just now un-did that protection and there isn't a building in the center.

There's no way you can undo that protection without common public knowledge. To get rid of the corruption you must either;

1) Un-do the damages in the MPQ by hand(several). - Very Unlikely, I don't even know what all he did.

or 2) Rebuild MPQ

To rebuild the MPQ, you need a good listfile (which is ironic since this map only has regular files in it, duh)
(Or, you need either; AutoCP3, Or Dekars Private Listfile Gatherer to rebuild properly, both work as a great combination)

But still, rebuilding the mpq is usually higher level (almost common sense) which most people can't do. I'm not saying it's hard, I'm just saying it's not well-known.

Anyways, somebody use a korean map or something,so he isn't using some public listfile and so he has a more difficult challenge.

I know the map wasn't protected, it was corrupted. Please learn the difference.

Protection prevents from editing in WE, corruption prevents editing the MPQ. Try using RMPQex or MPQ Editor as you said you did in your earlier post.

Lol? and what would be corrupted. I can edit it. Why would I fix it if I can edit it anyways?

Yeah, i told him this a month ago.
If you edit it in WE, it'll undo spazzler and can be opened in rmpqex and other mpq programs
But, most people use vexorian optimizer first, then spazzler..

So try it.

I downloaded this from the first thread in the requests section and corrupted it. Go ahead and try now, since we know you can't follow simple instructions unless you have no other choice.
