[edit] W.A.L.K. Football

Post by brigas »

Hello guys =)

I would like to ask if you could unprotect this map for me:
http://www.epicwar.com/maps/14467

I tried unprotecting it following the tutorials i found but upon some searching it seems the map is protected by some infinite loop which is not easily unprotected...

My intent is changing the minimap thumbnail, beacause it is really ugly and people just leave the game upon seeing it, if theres any way to do that without needing to unprotecting i would apreciate you telling me aswell =)

Thanks for the trouble guys stay cool =))

EDIT:
I browsed a bit more and i found out how to deprotect it by replacing the war3map.w3i by a blank one, and successfuly removed the minimap preview image.
But the problem is that if i add any data to the map, like the new image or i change the map name wc3 gets a fatal error when i select the game. I tried restoring the original war3map.w3i after importing the image but it gets corrupted.

Well i guess its enough having been able to remove the image but if someone could tell me how to put a new one i would apreciate it =)

EDIT:
Updating, i already solved all this and it the map still works properly.
So i went and adden a better loading screen with instructions but the loading is too fast and theres not enough time to read so i could you tell me how to make the loading screen wait for a key to be pressed instead of auto start??
Thanks in advance and stay cool guys

You have to add text to the loading screen.

Not the picture, but in the editor.

This makes the loading screen load even slower.

Evidently, you weren't listening.

Put text in the Map Preview, using the editor.

Ooh.. From what i thought

He already did that..
And the loading screen loaded so fast and auto started without people being able to read the info
