A way to View Triggers

Shadow_Walker · Post by **Shadow_Walker** » January 30th, 2007, 10:07 am

Here is a tutorial of how to view protected maps triggers
This does not let you view original triggers it’s the texted based triggers known as JASS. Useful if u want to edit a map where your save in

First tools needed

MPQ Master (Easiest to use)
MPQ Recover (To make a more extensive List file)
And the map you want to edit

Step 1. Making the list file
-Open up MPQ Recover and select your map.
-Click Deep MPQ Scanning Check Box.
-Click Brute Force Button.
-Click Scan Button.
-After that is done click save list and save under your list file folder in MPQ master.
-Close MPQ Recover

Step 2. Viewing the triggers
-Open MPQ master (You usually need Warcraft 3 Closed for this)
-Open your map in MPQ Master with your new created list file & the default Warcraft one (Just helps getting all the files)
-Now First delete the file call Attributes
-Now there will be a folder called Scripts or a file in the main directory called WA3MAP.J
-Open that file with your word pad (useing jasscraft is much more efficient)
-Now you have all the triggers that are in the map

Common Errors

-If words are all squashed together it means you need a better WordPad.
-No Script File means your list file isn't good enough (not much u can do about this or try and use a early version of the maps list file). (The script can only be in 2 places, war3map.j and scripts/war3map.j)
-MPQ recover crashing this is just another protection that is used but is only caused if you click the deep scan check button.
-Triggers are 2 digit letters/numbers this is caused by protection by the map and there i know way past but you can still edit triggers by keyword though.

Well that’s all for this issue will post more next time.

nice work, we could extend it with some background information
(like if triggers are numbers and letters its protected by vexorian)
but really nice, ill sticky

maybe you should change the title couse it isnt exactly deprotection!

As Dekar said in his other post Delete the Attribute File and that should fix it.
