[GUIDE] How To Deprotect Any Map

[legendair]

it's not that's weird because the game need to read the trigger for execute them... the trigger can't be delete otherwise the map can't load in the game...

How can people can open the map with full trigger in it?
Does that is some kind of map-restorenation?
I'm curious

Post a screenshot of the error. There are more than one ways to get a critical error, w3i problems just account for 99% of them.

Here it is.

Have you tried to replace the war3map.w3i by a new one (clean) ?

[uranium235]

Yes.

[owner123]

Post the map before and after replacing w3i

[uranium235]

Never mind, I figured it out, I had the w3i being saved as a data file not a wave file with low compression(You should really specify in your tutorial as what type of file to save it as because the program asks and if you don't get it right it doesn't work), it opens now, but all the trigger data and the unit data are gone.

BTW, the deprotect that comes in the deprotect tools is missing two dll's I had to google and download them for it to function. It is missing mfc70.dll and msvcr70.dll.

EDIT: I have a question, could a professional map deprotecter restore the triggers? I need the trigger data in a particular map to be intact and able to be edited in world editor. Is this even possible?

They work fine for me without those dlls.

And no, there are no deprotectors that can. Some try, and actually sometimes work (deportect by rveach) but none work 100%

I have no clue what you mean by the wav file, just use the one i posted.

Please take a close look. The mpq editor wants to know what file type to save it as... Clicking "file with this extention is a data file" makes it not work, you should be more specific in instructions is all I am saying.

They work fine for me without those dlls.

I am using windows xp service pack 3, what os are you using?

[owner123]

Uhh.. Thats weird. Use MPQmaster. There are reasons why you shouldn't use dumb editors like mpqeditor, and that is one of them. For example, in mpqmaster it automatically detects what type of file it is and adds it.

I am also using windows XP.
