Question about Silk Object

[ControILJI]

Who can tell me how to use it?
I'm trying to restore a map with Silk Object
So I did the following steps:

1. take all the files from the unit folder and take w3a,q,t,u,h and place them in the MAP folder of silk object (not in WarMPQ)

2. check for empty files (mostly 0 kb). Open them and check whether they have anything in there - If they dont have anything and seem to stop the procedure of silk object then delete the 0 byte (empty) files

3. The files that will come out after the program finished are placed in the root folder of Silk obj and those are war3map.w3a,q,t,u,h - Just place those files in the root of the map you want to have custom objects - with MPQ Master, right click and select Add Files.

but Silk Object never worked correctly.
I'm appreciated if someone can help me. Thx in advance.

You'll need to download Silk Object Console for this to work. Download link: http://forum.wc3edit.net/download/file.php?id=4980
Decompress the attached zip
Rename map with widgetized files to MyMap.w3x
Run the .exe in the folder
Done!

If you need to use a different listfile (the one in the map, (listfile), doesn't have the right names), then open Config.ini, set EXTERNAL_LISTFILE=listfile.txt (change listfile.txt to match the filename of your listfile, place it in SOC's folder, and save.

Sorry, Im a newbie here.
I did what you told me,only got another MyMap.w3x in the OUT folder and some .txt files,
then I opened the new MyMap.w3x, I still couldnt see the recovered object data.
Btw, Is Silk Object Console a dewidgetizer?
I still feel confused about how to recover object data in a map with widgetized files, could you make a Tut for it?

That was a tutorial...
Yes, SOC is a dewidgetizer. I believe that this version makes a map that's the same as the original, except it has the custom object files in it; it's dewidgetized. I'm not sure what the .txt files you got are. What are they named?

Oh my god,many maps have the custom objects.

Besides,I forgot the names of the .txt files after I deleted them.I cant remember them accurately. Maybe one of them has the name like this: Ability*.txt
