Ok so, i wish to make an info thread with all there is to know about Decompile and decompile protection, how to by pass it and how to implement it.
But i know very very little about this.
I know for decompiler apps, quite few of them actually:
WinBSC 1.2
WinBSC 1.4 kingpin update
BspTWOmap
matchstick 1.0.1
BSP viewer
Crafty
and some other that are not worth mentioning
Crafty and winbsc are the most acurate and can decompile up to 80% of maps you tell em to.
BspTWOmap can decompile 100% of maps and extract WAD files (witch every one wants
), but wall tickness is 1 unit and some maps can not be opened at all. Now i suspect those maps have "protection".
What i want to learn is how to implement protection, how does it work, can it be removed and are there any more decompilers.
I think this can be quite useful for mappers.
PS - I do not want to steal maps :/
