Enabling singleplayer

Post by nitras »

hello!

im working on making the black road singleplayer-playable
im sure there already is an unprotected version of this map but i really want to learn how to do it myself

so here's the deal. when u play the map in singleplayer it quits instantly and says "no singleplayer" so my first move was to try and find that line in jasscraft, only thing is... it does not exist!

im trying to "learn by doing" here and i dont want a link to the unprotected map or a complete tutorial on how to unprotect it, i just want some tips on what to look for or if im working in the wrong script. ive opened war3map.j which i extracted with MPQmaster.

am i doing right or am i doing everything wrong? because in that case... i might need a complete tutorial =)

This one is a bit better:

http://forum.wc3edit.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=429


Do a search for something else similar to whats in the piccy (not "single player")

I just did my first single player hack today using this method. Thanks Xantan!!
perhaps you need to look in the strings file, and see where a trigger wants to say something like "you cannot play in singla player mode". then try to get rid of this trigger like xantan says.

Thats only for disabled save code, which isn't what hes got though he prolly thinks it is. Your going to make him redo what he's already tried now lolz. XD

thx for all replies, and no im not a complete idiot, just new to the world of jasscraft
When the game stops it gives the message "No Singleplayer" and that must mean that atleast one line in the script must contain thoose exact words right? if not then where the hell does thoose words come from?

open the map in winmpq. You should see the file. If the file is named "file001.xxx" or so, just open it up in wordpad. The first thing you will see when you have the right file is "STRING 123" or whatever the first number is. then search for the one that says "no singleplayer". Now the STRING thats above this line, thats what you have to look for in your jass.
