[FAQ] Frequently Asked Questions (READ THIS BEFORE ASK!)

[nuzamacuxe]

Hi. This is the most frequently asked questions by the users... this guide will help you to cheat most of the maps around.

1) Can't open map using MPQ Editor.

• Make sure you're using the latest version of Ladik's MPQ Editor:
  • Ladik's MPQ Editor (click here)

2) Can't find the war3map.j file.

• Get a good additional listfile and you should be fine. You can use this listfile (click!).

3) Can't edit the map/There's a read-only tag.

• That means that the MPQ is corrupted/optimized/protected. In order to fix it you can:
  • 3.1. Use a different older version of Ladik's MPQ Editor (you can find it by clicking here! Look for useful tools.rar);
    or
    3.2. Rebuild the MPQ (Tutorial: Click here).

4) Can't host/play korean maps.

• Usually these kind of maps are using SProtect or SSProtect. If you wanna know how to bypass it click here!

5) Can't get RAWCODES.

• There are some maps you can't get the rawcodes because they are protected. You can fix it by rebuilding the mpq.
  Let's use this map as example: http://forum.wc3edit.net/fulfilled-requ ... 34874.html
  When you try to open it with RMPQex, that's what happens:
  Spoiler:

  
  So let's fix that.
  • 5.1. Open the map in Ladik's MPQ Editor;
    Spoiler:

    
    5.2. Extract all the files;
    Spoiler:

    
    5.3. Go to the folder where you extracted them and delete all the unknown files;
    Note: Doesn't matter how many unknowns files you got since we are worried about to get only the rawcodes.
    Spoiler:

    
    5.4. Open up Ladik's MPQ Editor, click on File and then New MPQ;
    Spoiler:

    
    5.5. Enter any name you want;
    Spoiler:

    
    5.6. Tick the Build the MPQ archive from a file or directory option and set the directory where you extracted all the files and then set the Game Compatibility to Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne.
    Spoiler:

    
    5.7. Next, Next, and then click on Finish
    Spoiler:

    
    5.8. Now you should be able to open the map in RMPQex and get the rawcodes.
    Spoiler:

    

1) JassCraft shows the $ error.

• Your JassCraft is outdated (actually the PJass/Syntax Checker). To fix that just download this version: CLICK HERE

2) Map shows weird numbers instead of rawcode. Example: 0x4930524A instead of I000.

• The map is optimized/obfuscated its rawcodes. When you try to look for an item id you won't find it. Example:
  Spoiler:

  
  To fix it follow these steps:
  • 1. Download this tool: [FukKi]Hex Fixer v28 (click here)
    1.1. Open it, select the .j file, click on Save and then click on Fix Now.
    Spoiler:

    
    1.2. Now you should be able to find the item ids.
    Spoiler:

    

2) Function/Variable collisions.

• Some russian maps, DotA and etc use in their code the same function and variable names such as common cheat-pack. To fix it follow these steps:
  Use this war3map.j (it's the JJ CP's):
  war3map.j
  • 2.1. Open up Ladik's MPQ Editor, click on File and then New MPQ;
    Spoiler:

    
    2.2. Enter any name you want;
    Spoiler:

    
    2.3. Next,Next, Next, and then click on Finish
    Spoiler:

    
    2.4. Drag and drop the war3map.j attached above into the MPQ File;
    Spoiler:

    
    2.5. Open up RMPQEx, select the MPQ File and then click on Deobfuscate JASS script..
    Spoiler:

    
    2.6. Set the outpute file name, tick Maintain line numbers (optional) and then click on OK;
    Spoiler:

    
    2.7. Now the cheatpack is free from any function/variable collision.
    Spoiler:

    

3) Anti-cheats problem.
NOTE: There are many ways to make an anti-cheat system... it's just a matter of knowledge and creativity from the map's creator. Do not expect that this method will work on every map.

• Some maps don't let you use -gold, -spawn commands and so on. Let's use this request as example: http://forum.wc3edit.net/fulfilled-requ ... 34917.html
  Whenever you try to use -gold or any cheat, that's what happens:
  Spoiler:

  
  So in order to fix that, we must look for -gold, -spawn etc in war3map.j file.
  • 3.1. As you can see, there are some anti-cheat triggers;
    Spoiler:

    
    3.2. Remove all of them
    Spoiler:

    
    3.3. Now you should be fine.
    Spoiler:

    

4) Single player problem.
NOTE: There are many ways to make an anti-sigle player system... it's just a matter of knowledge and creativity from the map's creator.
NOTE²: Some maps have advanced methods to avoid single player... which means that removing only those commands won't work.

• I'll list here the four most commons anti-single player system.
• The first thing you should do before is search for: if bj_isSinglePlayer and remove it. Example:
  Spoiler:

  
  • 4.1) Insta back to the lobby:
    Spoiler:

    
    • 4.1.1) In order to bypass it search for call CustomVictoryBJ and replace them with call DoNothing() or you can just delete them.
    
    
    4.2) Defeat when the game starts:
    Spoiler:

    
    • 4.2.1) In order to bypass it search for call CustomDefeatBJ and replace them with call DoNothing() or you can just delete them.
    
    
    4.3) Permanent loading:
    Spoiler:

    
    • 4.3.1) In order to bypass it search for call RestartGame(false) and replace them with call DoNothing() or you can just delete them.
    
    
    4.4) The game just ends:
    Spoiler:

    
    • 4.4.1) In order to bypass it search for call EndGame(false) and replace them with call DoNothing() or you can just delete them.
