Reading .w3u files

[Vuormalainen]

Does anyone know of any program which can read the .w3u files and making sense out of them other than this (word):

Any idea how to read or what it's encoded in?

Thanks.

Each 'uxxx' part is the rawcode of the object editor field and then immediately afterward is the data for it. For example:
ua1m Abilities\Weapons\RocketMissile\RocketMissile.mdl

TRIGSTR_ are all located in the .wts file (the map's string table) of the map's MPQ. You can either open it in that or you can also just view them specifically in game by doing something like call BJDebugMsg(GetLocalizedString("TRIGSTR_158")). (GetLocalizedString might not be necessary, I don't remember)

That is the Attack 1 - Missile model. Other fields follow the same manner. However, I believe some of the data is encrypted and therefore can't really be made out.

However, I'm not sure why you would need to decipher the .w3u, unless you are trying to view a protected map or something.

Aight, I'll see see if someone else knows a way. Thanks for your info though

And the reason why I want to decipher it is to make the process of updating units on our WiF website easier and quicker without the risk of misspelling the data manually.

You can find detailed file format specs here: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=66327
The source code of Grimex also contains the necessary code to read and write .w3u and other object files.
