I show you how to deprotect ANY Warcraft 3 map using XDEP, MPQ Recover, BaseMapFiles of Nathanmx's Deprotect and MPQ Master. Download link for the tools (reuploaded): http://www.mediafire.com/?yc2lz7cpxiffsmx

-----------
FAQ
Q: XDEP doesn't find my map but I named it YourMap.w3x
A: Your OS hides the extensions from you. Try naming your map to YourMap

Q: I deprotected the map like you did in the video but when I save it I can't play it anymore
A: It's not possible to save maps with that method of deprotecting, if you wanna make changes to a map then there are some other tutorials here on youtube

Q: What song is this?
A: Ghetto Trust - Life in a Dream (Full Mix)

  • Why all links wont work!?

  • @Kirmesrummel Good question, ill reupload it tomorrow, to tired now, thanks for noticing.

  • flag as inappropriate "legal claim"

  • @pmglory uh and why / what do I claim ? o.O

  • @NgOToraxxx

    So obviously this doesnt work on .w3m extensions, but how could I convert these to .w3x? I searched for coverters (with no luck), and it isnt like I could use the editor lol. Any Ideas?

  • @Sherman288 of course it works with them o.o I found a new way of protection btw, it adds docstrings and some other stuff to the mpq and makes it unopeneable for most mpq viewers.

see all
