Can do that using Vmex

Decompiling a protected map:


Usually what happens when using un-patched Vmex:


When viewing the decompiled protected map in Hammer, this is what one of the methods of protection would look like:

(this one came from gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct, which is protected)

Hi I have a few maps I would like to decompile.but it says its protected.

I tried the tutorial and it still did not work.what am I doing wrong?

I am trying to decompile the stargate maps to make them more interesting.

Also my other question is how can I make my maps protected like this?

Iam trying it now.....i hope it works because i search for something like that 1 WEEK!!!!!
Thank very much.

mhm it just create a vmf with 0KB. what is wrong? i tried ba_jail_alcatraz_B8

When version 0.80 came out, It stopped decompiling maps with some custom parameters in them. If it's protected then the author did that so you can't decompile it. You can try decompiling it with an old version of VMEX, but it will screw up every brush.
Also, VMEX is not made so you can decompile a map to edit it and make it "more interesting", it is made so you can see if it has a specific entity in it, to see how something it's made, or other things like that. Before editing the Stargate maps, you should first ask the author for permision, or to start your own map.

You guys are lame !
