Title: Curse you anti-cheat

Need help in editing a map.

Post by MagicalClam »

Well, there's this one map that has a pretty big file size, so what I'm doing, instead of adding a whole cheat-pack, I'm just going to add a map initialization trigger that increases XP gain, now, I extract war3map.j and, whats this? The file size doesn't go down? So I edit it, re-add it, and Whats THIS!? The file size has increased, when I actually only added about 1 byte. Am I doing something wrong here, or does my computer just hate me?

Supposing youre using MPQ Master, when you are done with the importing thing, last thing you need to do is hit Compact (flush). thats it.

Funny thing is, i find that most the time "flush" is not clickable. Why is that?

Just close MPQMaster and open it again; it'll be clickable.
Make sure you're clicked on something in the main view, too, not the hierarchy pane on the side. It doesn't let you run the flush when you're clicked in there, oddly.
