[Map compression]

[kendoggs]

i have been able to cheat some maps thanks to the many guides out there for map hacking.
The main problem i get with my maps are the the difference in map size when i use xdep to deprotect the map.
The resulting file is always much bigger than the original so it's much harder to pass off as a "real" map in BA, Garena ect...
I would like some help in regards to compressing maps. Also please explain this in noob-friendly terms i am quite new to the map hacking stuff.

Thanks for the program.
I just tired it out the program. The original map was about 700kb. After i deprotected + JJ's with Auto CP it was about 1.3mb. After i used the program with the cheated map it have me a map with 137k with a (output map name).j. I assume that's the JASS code. I want the cheated map size to be the same as the original map. Any pointers from here? I would test the map but imma running Xdep for a map. This isn't that related to the original topic but do some maps take like 10-15 mins to deprotect? My computer has a 2.66 Pentium 4 and the map is 4mb so... any help there?

Well idk about the same size, but if you get it to be really small just pass it off as you have some bad ass bandwidth and it just seems to be smaller when in fact it isn't (or so you tell them)

Or just tell them that you compressed all your maps, to save hard drive space. (worked for me, on my cheated maps)

but the map didn't work...

i dont think its possible having it at the same size... coz of the obvios reason... u ADD more data... like installing smthing on ur PC with not adding any room...

tho u can do some stuff to make it close... such as

compact flush
optimizers
deleting unneeded stuff (some1 told me that dota has some unneeded stuff on the MPQ such as the old satanic icon.. so u can delete it..) etc..
