[TUT] Installing/Using Warcraft 3 Cheat Packs

[Nothinbeter2do]

THIS TUTORIAL WAS WRITTEN BY NOTHINBETER2DO

Q: What are cheat packs?

A: Cheat packs are a list of cheats that you put in a Warcraft 3 map without using the World Editor.

-----

Q: How do I install cheat packs?

A: That is what this tutorial is about.

-----

Q: Where can I get cheatpacks?

A: At WC3Edit

-----

Q: Why won't my map load?

A: In the MPQ Editor, if you see a file named (attributes) DELETE it.

--------------------------------------------------

Required Programs:
MPQ Master
MPQ Recover
JassCraft

Download WC3 Modding Tools

--------------------------------------------------

1 - Creating A Listfile.
Open MPQ Recover. Click the open button in the top right corner then locate your Warcraft 3 map and open it.



Click the deep MPQ scanning box (above the scan (2) button). Now it scans every file really deep, so you get a complete listfile.

Then click the buttons in this order:
1. Click Brute Force. It creates the basic of the listfile.
2. Click Scan. Now it’ll scan every single file it created, when you clicked Brute Force. When it’s finished you should get a full listfile.
3. Click Save List and save it into the MPQMaster/Listfiles folder.

If MPQ Recover crashes, open MPQ Recover again, but now don't click deep MPQ scanning.

--------------------------------------------------

2.1 - Selecting A Listfile

Open up MPQMaster, open your map and check the box next to the listfile you just created then click the OK button.



2.2 - Extracting war3map.j

--------------------------------------------------

You should now see this window. It wont look exactly like this.



If you don't already see war3map.j on the right side, look in the Scripts folder. Once you find it, right click it and hit extract.

--------------------------------------------------

3 - Installing The Cheat Pack

Now that we have war3map.j, we need to open it in JassCraft.

Open up JassCraft then open your war3map.j file. Before we do anything we need a cheatpack.

Here is a basic one made by Aero from WC3Edit.net:

Part1

Put this under GLOBALS

	
	
trigger ICHEAT=CreateTrigger()
trigger CHEATS=CreateTrigger()
Part 2

Put this under ENDGLOBALS
  
function WaitForDisable takes player p7, string s7 returns nothing

Part 3

Put this part under FUNCTION MAIN TAKE NOTHING RETURNS NOTHING, after any locals
  
//under function main, after locals 
local integer qaz7=0

Once you are done editing your war3map.j, save war3map.j and exit out of JassCraft. Using MPQ Master, open your Warcraft 3 again. Delete your old war3map.j then add your new war3map.j

--------------------------------------------------

Your done! Open Warcraft 3 then load your map. Type in your activator (-cheats) then try to use the cheats.

So what can I make my start location underground so others can't see it?

Yea, that's why its so cool.

[S y N I K a L]

Will you get CD key banned from ranked if you use these cheats for RANKED LADDER matches?

[Nothinbeter2do]

Well everyone will have to re-download the map. So if everybody already has the map and they have to re-download it, you might be in trouble.

I would just stick to custom games though. I'm going to make a tutorial on how to open a port for hosting Warcraft 3 games.
