Figguring out the exact byte-to-byte file format

How to read the header in bytes, to open a map on a byte level, etc.

Like darkies script opens your map, counts triggers, etc etc

And like vexorians optomizer opens your file and alters it

Etc

I don't get it, but ok...

Well you can't just open a wc3 map in a text or hex editor.

Its all just binary data, bytes of data right?

You got to know how to read IN all those integers, strings, and data to form 'map files'.

And they figgured almost everything out.

o, ok, sounds beast, any update on getting some of their content, or did you scratch that?

Yes...but this question always bugs me. Who cracks this stuff? Geeks in their basement with nothing better to do? It sounds kind of complex to crack a system :D

The Koreans do.

With their tiny little fast fingers, and too many free times.

Just remember that if you can do something like that in Korea you get treated like a god over there :)

Bumping a blast from the past. Keep in mind this was over 8 years in the heart of the WC3 days.
