Try to hack this map :p

[d07.RiV]

You opened the second map I posted?

[Shamanno1]

No .
Use this prot on the next vamp fire version please

Just tried it.
MPQLib and Ladiks are refusing to open/crashing.
Storm.dll and SFMPQ open it without any problems.
The ReplaceableTextures\Selection\SelectionCircleLarge.blp doesn't seem to be accessable with the storm.dll
and SFMPQ isn't extracting it.
I'd be interested how you corrupted the archive.

Anyway, I'm doing it the wc3 way atm, I made a listfile logger for the storm dll and I use the storm dll
for extractions. So as long as wc3 opens the map, I can do with it whatever I want.
I didn't encounter ANY problem cheating the map! (except extracting with MPQLib which I don't do anyway)
I extracted all files, imported them into a new wc3 map and added cheats, no problem at all


edit:
Anyway, nice find. Didn't knew you could corrupt it in a way that makes it for MPQLib unable to process them.

Ok I see. I picked the first thing that came up in xdep's listfile.
MPQLib is rather stupid, it thinks that file data always follows block offset table (it is true for normal archives and it is used to find the decryption key if the filename is unknown) so I just moved the data around (in fact block offsets for all files are placed in the end of the archive). This is just so that MPQmaster etc can't extract files. Then I just change "archive size" field to 0 in header, wc3 works if its 0 (it crashes if it's something like 1 or 2) and MPQlib doesn't.
And the selectioncirclelarge is just a corrupt entry in the hash table that crashes sfmpq if someone tries to open that file.

Thanks for sharing the information!

Do you use the original storm.dll or a rewritten one by ?

[Dekar]

I use the one in the wc3 folder.
That's the way to do it
I use it to open maps and to sniff listfiles.

I guess I should move this to fulfilled..?
