[Apple]

yeah. Pictoria explanation works best, but is the guide in pictures? I need a map which has that protection to learn...

[JustANewbie]

the .rar contains a map which the MPQ is corrupted and a map which the MPQ is fixed

[Apple]

sounds good enough to test. but hey i couldn't find the offset in numbers with this tool XVI32.. what do i do?

hi
I'm from south korea.

I am not good at writing English, so please understand my writing.

I saw your 'How to unhex MPQ Somj2hM16' but I couldn't understand one thing ...

That is "25. We have 80 and 5C(Block & Hash size), sum it up and multiply it by 10: (80+5C) * 10 = DC0"

To tell the truth, I never learned about 'HEX'...

80 and 5C(Block & Hash size),(80+5C) * 10 = DC0 <<<- What does it mean???.....

I like to unhex F.O.C, KOREAN GAME, Fight Of Characters.

I have completed 1~24.. but I'm all blocked before 25!!

please help me .. If you help me, I'd appreciate you..
thank you

If i remembered correctly, i have told that you can use the "calculator" to calculating hex number

I tried this method for MBCS, but it won't show up the files...

00 08 00 00 = 800
C2 04 00 00 = 4c2

00 08 00 00
C2 04 00 00

(800+4c2) * 10 = CC20

7E8280 = map size
7E8280 - CC20 = 7DB660 map hash size
7DB660 + 4c20 = 7E0280 map block size

7E8820 = map size
7E8820 - CC20 = 7DBC00 map hash size
7DBC00 + 4c20 = 7E0820 map block size

7E8080 = map size
7E8080 - CC20 = 7DB460
7DB460 + 4c20 = 7E0080

Tried 3 versions... None work.


P.S. Never mind that shit all of those have mistakes, instead of + 4c20, should be +8000. Big thanks for the guide, after 5-6 hours of brainsex, I learnt how to do it!

Thus the correct formula will be V

7E8080 = map size
7E8080 - CC20 = 7DB460
7DB460 + 8000 = 7E3460

A small re-made guide by me. So it will be easier for you guys.

(Hash + Block Size) * 10 = Block & Hash Size
Map Hash size = Initial Map Size - (Block & Hash Size)
Map Block size = Map Hash size + (Hash size *10)

Example for my map:

7E8080 = Initial map size

00 08 00 00 C2 04 00 00
V V V V V V V V V V V V
00 08 00 00 = 800 -> hash size
C2 04 00 00 = 4c2 -> Block size

(800 + 4c2) * 10 = (CC2) * 10 = CC20
7E8080 - CC20 = 7DB460
7DB460 + 8000 = 7E3460

[th3LatentDuckling]

7E8280 = map size
7E8280 - CC20 = 7DB660 map hash size
7DB660 + 4c20 = 7E0280 map block size

7E8820 = map size
7E8820 - CC20 = 7DBC00 map hash size
7DBC00 + 4c20 = 7E0820 map block size

7E8080 = map size
7E8080 - CC20 = 7DB460
7DB460 + 4c20 = 7E0080

I was wondering how you got three different map sizes and decided which one to pick.
I always get a different map size at step 23 from yours when I tried to practice on this map.

Fixed in MPQ Editor v 3.5.1.770. Download it on my webpage:
http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html

BTW, the map could be open by previous builds as well. You needed to check the "Force opening the MPQ as v 1.0".
I made change in StormLib so it now detects Warcraft III maps and does not check for MPQ User Data.
