Need your advice regarding Automatic Map Cheater

[Bushido]

'Tis a bad Idea, unless is left a really obvious watermark, like say.... HACKED, in the title, It would get:
1) Really f*cking Confusing
2) Ridicules with all the hacked maps floating around.
3) This is only useful for Xantans CP, the others you can install in a matter of seconds....

So, don't do it... It's a cool idea though, props for making it!

Why is it only useful with Xantans? If u are a fast hacker u insert Xantan's like the others

Ghetto, I use Opera too XD. Although it was a last resort more or less after I couldn't get firefox to work.

Yeah, but you need the strings, the imports and the CP among other things. It takes longer.

yea well I just realized that the activation code doesn't even work for all of my xantan hacked maps -.-

Stupid program -_-

lol, might want to fix that. :S

Ah! Figured out the problem! It was with the cp itself... not to do with my program....

EDIT: OMG! Another problem... no wonder the hacked maps were big... I didn't compact them.. and when I tried adding a compact feature into my program it rejected it -.-

EDIT2: If anyone known anything about MpqLib's 'MpqCompactArchive()' function help would be greatly appreciated!

Remove the advertising please!
If you want to advertise you have to ask me since it's against the rules!
And your sig is a direct offense, you're just trying to steal members -.-
Your program... yeah good work w/e.
It took you 2 weeks? That's pretty long... but hey, I wasn't uberpro at birth, too
Keep coding! (But stop using visual basic!)
Do with your program whatever you like, we already got one in the staff section.
I don't think it will kill wc3, wc3edit.net didn't kill wc3 so why should this tool kill it?
About the compress thing... what's your problem?
Try Shadowflares instead, MPQLib got some problems in some cases... (SFlares, too!)
Just use Shadowflares if MPQLib isn't working properly

I was using SF for extracing the files and MPQLib for adding the files again (because for some reason warcraft III would crash when loading) and now I'm trying to compact the archive... So first I open an archive handle (using MPQLib) and try compacting (using MPQLib) That returns false (meaning FAIL!!!!!) and then I tried opening with mpqlib and then compacting using SFlare, FAIL!!!

EDIT: OMG SFlare Worked!!!! (for the compacting!) So basically my program's quite a mess atm...

Stage 1: Extract Using SFlare
Stage 2: Edit Files
Stage 3: ADd Files Using MpqLib
Stage 4: Compact Using SFlare AGAIn!!!!

use MPQLib before Shadowflares!
In some cases Shadowflares makes the map 2gb or even bigger if you do it in the other order -.-

So....is my order correct or should I change it?

[Dekar]

If it works for you...
I think you will encounter "protected" maps that will corrupt when you try to
compact them with MPQLib or SF's lib. That's what you need Listfiles for.
SFlares failed really often for me, MPQLib only 2-3 times.
However, you asked us what you should do with it... how about releasing it under GPL?
I think I will release my dynamic banner under GPL once I translated the code to english, too!
I really think it's handy to have the source available from time to time...
(I'd like to fix that stupid crash bug in mpq recover for example -.-)
