The real way of deprotecting maps?

Post by kidoleo »

How to de-protect a map sucessfully without losing some of the items/heroes in game.

Like using x-dep you would have some lost triggers/units.

I have seen experts such as JJ and Shamano deprotecting maps sucessfully with everything intact.

Depends on the protection, if the map uses gui only and only the gui was deleted and the jass is not obfuscated you
have chances to recover the gui using unprotector.
For most harder protected maps... don't even think about recovering gui.
You normally done lose items and heros though, WE just doesn't show them cause the WE files got deleted.

Man, just ignore the output file/delete it.
Use it like you would use MPQRecover.
Never told you to deprotect the map using it.
And no, the map makers deleted the GUI, not XDep!
