Error breaking protection of a map (MPQ Editor Error)

Post by iamgod »

Error :

"Cannot open "xxx" An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."

Getting this when I attempt to load a map in MPQ editor. I can force the MPQ as 1.0 (or whatever that function is) and it works flawlessly but it forces read-only so i cant edit it. Does anyone know a bypass for either of these two things? If you need the map, I can provide it.

Does this happen for every map you try or only that map?

I belive the XXX=Map name.. It isn't relevent if that is the case.
If you can't open the map, rebuilt the MPQ, there is a guide I made for it in here.. Advanced Cheating or something IIRC.

.xxx is the filename extention that happens when you use a blank listfile.
Use this listfile : http://forum.wc3edit.net/useful-tools-f ... ml#p149728

Sorry, the above guy was right, the "xxx" was a replacement for the path to the map.

when i hit 'Open map' thats the error it gives me without force 1.0 and read only. i want to be able to edit it though

Open it in force 1.0, extract all the files,and then add them into a new MPQ archive you created. Then using a hex exitor (like xvi32) copy the first 512 bytes from the old map onto the new map.
