Quick question with xdep

[Anarki]

For some reason, xdep is deprotecting maps, but leaving stuff out, such as files in the MPQ, and all the object data.

The listfile.txt is pretty big - 10 megabytes.
I'm thinking it's one of the settings in xdep.ini:

Code: Select all

inmapfile = mymap.w3x
outmapfile = deprotected.w3x
clean_temp_onstart = 1
clean_temp_onsuccess = 0
clean_temp_onerror = 0
pause_onsuccess = 1
pause_onerror = 1
scan_enable = 1
scan_append_listfile = 1
halt_on_unknowns = 1
delete_als = 1
patch_w3i = 1
build_imp = 1
build_dummy_doo = 1
recover_script = 1
build_w3x = 1
rename_reserved_functions = 1 
inline_functions = 0
rename_globals = 0
indent_script = 1
parse_w3data = 1
build_doo = 1

What should I change to preserve object data and other imports in the MPQ? (although I'm thinking the imports in the MPQ is a listfile issue).

It doesn't matter how big the listfile is. Size doesn't mean it's good, it just means it has a lot of names. It's a really good idea to make a listfile for the map in RMPQEx, because it will have a lot more of the names of that particular map, instead of a lot of names that aren't in it.
The imported files are probably not being put in the new one due to missing filenames.
The object data, probably not. Is the map widgetized?
You can always extract the custom object files from the original map, and import them into the deprotected map in WE. Object Editor>File>Import Custom xxx Data... (xxx changes based on tab).

RMPQEx keeps crashing when I try to dump object data.

Can I just extract them using an MPQ editor?

[Senethior459]

Not Dump object data... That button makes a text file with all of the rawcodes and data about them. Find the war3map.w3* files, and right-click and Extract them.
War3map.w3t - Items
War3map.j - Jass Triggers
War3map.wts - Strings
War3map.w3t - Items
War3map.w3u - Units
War3map.w3b - Destructibles
War3map.doo - Doodads
War3map.w3a - Abilities
War3map.w3h - Buffs/Effects
War3map.w3q - Upgrades
war3map.w3e - Terrain
war3map.wtg - Gui triggers

Alright, thank you a lot.

Looks like I didn't need to extract the object data after all, xdep did it for me.

RMPQEx is a great program, never knew about it before. Definitely a keeper for my toolkit, will probably never use another MPQ editor again.

Its one flaw is that you can't insert things into the map with it. But that's why I've got Ladik's MPQ Editor!
