U can do this by urself here is guide from [Risen] :

Due to all of the requests i've seen from here, and Irl, I've decided to create a little guide to teach you how to Either Deprotect, Insert a Cheatpack, Or Enable Singleplayer.

First off, We'll need these things;
MPQMaster
JassCraft
JJ CheatPack
xdep
RMPQEx

First guide, Deprotecting. I'll go ahead and split the three parts into spoilers for better view.
P.S. You don't have to deprotect to do enable singleplayer / insert a cheatpack.

Spoiler:

I'm using BattleStadium DON as an example, Since it's right here in my maps folder and it has plenty of files.
First off, Go ahead and open the map with RMPQEx, Make sure you "auto search", and "add listfile" (Find the listfile that came with X-Dep and use it), We need to get a complete listfile, A listfile is all of the filenames, Without a listfile the filenames would be "File00001.xxx" or something.



Pictures help you see where you are and where you're supposed to be, So I made a bunch of screenies.
Next, Save the listfile, And put it in the X-Dep folder, Also, Put your map there.



To save a little time, Open up the xdep configuration settings and change your first line to what mine is,



After you've done that, Rename your map name to . so that xdep will use it, also make sure your listfile is named "listfile".
Run xdep.


Since battlestadium is primarily a chinese map, SLK Object Console has problems dealing with it, So for now, My battlestadium DON isn't deprotected completely, But most maps don't use 'widgetiser', So most of the time you won't need to worry about it.
(P.S. Any map that MPQMaster won't open has their mpq header damaged, Extract all of the files then try and use MPQEditor to generate a new w3x archive with all of the files).

well I have a problem aswell, I read the guide followed it but it still didnt work?

this is the map I'm trying to deprotect: http://www.epicwar.com/maps/80551/

I'm not getting a complete listfile, so when trying to open it I get Unit data missing or invalid. Can someone help me out here?

[GeorgeMots]

Unit data are not missing. You just have to recover them with Silk Object editor. http://forum.wc3edit.net/download/file.php?id=4980

[kwarktaart]

still the same error, only result is that the map is halved in size now (in KBs)

[GeorgeMots]

Use jassnewgen. http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90999

could not hack game.dll? :p

Just open the modified editor and select the map you want to open. Dont double click on the map itself. It wont open it.

[kwarktaart]

oh I did that too, still the same missing unit data stuff
