How do I know that a map is cheat included?

If I download the map from epicwar.com or the other source
How do I know that a map is cheat included?

Sry for my bad grammar

There's several ways. The easiest two would be to
1) open the map yourself with an mpq editor and check out the .j file or
2) post it here and make a request

if you chose number 1,
download an mpq editor (like mpqmaster), run it, open the map, extract "war3map.j" or "scripts/war3map.j", open the .j file, and search for cheats.
I usually search for "chat" cuase most cheats are activated or triggered when someone types something.
if you find a suspicious chat command (like -cheats<space><space>), search the trigger variable and follow it to find the action function.
Ex:

Code: Select all

TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent(TRIGGER VARIABLE,PLAYER TO DETECT CHAT FROM,CHAT COMMAND, TRUE OR FALSE)
the third argument is what you wanna check. if it seems suspicious search the first argument to find TriggerAddAction(TRIGGER VARIABLE, function SOME FUNCTION)
then search for the SOME FUNCTION and see what it does. the true or false doesn't really matter in this situation.

it gets easier if you learn jass first though o.o

thx a lot

[haxorico]

a trigger cannot do anything without.
call TriggerAddAction(NameOfTrigger, function NameOfFunction)
or
call TriggerAddCondition(NameOfTrigger, function NameOfFunction)

but what is if the files are all called filexxxx and there is no war3map.j?

Then you need a good listfile.

I recommend using Ozzapoo's Cheatpack Detector. It's worked for me countless times, increasing the fun of some maps that BGN and MMH host.
