[GUIDE] How To Deprotect Any Map

[owner123]

That and there are normally more than one protection.
Nearly no one just messes up the w3i.

I think I figured out the two options for XDep...

Special Fix is when you can't fix the map normally and it should move everything to the custom script of the map.
Restore GUI actually works and literally does it, however it fails to work on JASS or any type of syntex for JASS because there is no GUI equal to every JASS function.
So it does restore GUI but you just can't open it until apparently you add the same of JASS to GUI.

If this was already said then forgive me for I didn't read everything.
Also I advise only use GUI Restore option if you think the map wasn't coded with VJASS or uses any extra lines of JASS

Very nice tutorial but it isn't very friendly for beginners, however why should a noob be able to get a map so they can add cheats to it

[owner123]

A noob (Or anyone else for that matter) should open the map in MPQ Master and edit the .j file.

How much is the X-Deprotect suppossed to last?
I put it to "Restore GUI" and it's been fixing for 1 hour already, using 1 full core of my i7. Is it really fixing or it just hanged?
UPDATE: I closed it and now I'm trying without the restore GUI and it's taking it's time too, guess I'll leave it there all day and see if anything happens.

Dont restore GUI.

Does this guide still useful with the latest protected map? I tried this guide to deprotect a map from WE to edit GUI and etc but it seems i cannot find the triggers/units. I've read something about recreating the map but i don't know how...
