Open it in a hex editor, I suggust XVI32, the first 4 hex bytes should say "HM3W" after that is the map name. Edit the parts you want. So in your map it would probably say "HM3W Dota6.71" then a bunch of other stuff no one cares about.


I used to have an Auto Fake Version maker, but I dunno where it went. I might restart making it someday, even though it took me a long while to make.

Take note NOT TO DELETE ANYTHING and have same ammount of letters. If you want something deleted, I suggest using the space-bar and never overide the map when hex-editing. As 1 small change can make the map un-playable and un-readable by wc3..

Can we add more letters ??

I never tried adding, there probably are probably some empty spaces for that already built in but I never tried.
You can try and then save the map on a different file. So if it won't work. A backup will be ready.

To change this you need to use a hex editor and change the name there, also do note that the name changes do not get reflected until you restart your Warcraft. To do this I'll be using HxD as my hex editor. Open up the map with your hex editor and you will notice 2 things

Spoiler:

The top circle is the maps' name with something else behind it, ignore that extra bit. And on the bottom you can see the start of the MPQ header. Bear in mind the location of it as well, because that has to remain constant throughout the editing or the map won't work. So edit the name to whatever you want and don't touch that little extra bit behind. Also make sure you delete the same amount of blank space. those 0 0s. So that the MPQ Header is still in the same location. Like this:

Spoiler:

With that done all that's left is the Map preview and loading screen.

Just make sure the header remains at the same position.^
