stupid mod dependencies

[notproplayer3 5]

I was playing around with ace and went on my wip mission and ace wasn't working very well so I disabled it after. Of course the mod dependencies kicked in and I couldn't play without removing them from the mission.sqm, I did just that and because i'm stupid af, I didn't make a backup before editing it, I thought I did everything right (deleting the mod names at the top of the file) and now each time I try to open a file in the mission editor, I get kindly greeted by this message

And my mission doesn't appear after I close the window

The code I modified is this (the first line of mission.sqm) :

Was your mission.sqm in an unbinarized format? As by default the Eden Editor saves it in a binarized format which means editing the sqm will give out errors.

Is there any way to find if it's binarized in the mission.sqm, or binarize the file itself because I don't think I touched anything when I created the mission

Can you share a copy of the mission.sqm?

That file is in a binarized state, if you edit it. It will break unfortunately. Do you not have a backup of the file before you edited it?

[notproplayer3 5]

Unfortunately not, am I fucked ?

No, use Mikero Tools DeRap the file delete the parts and you done.

DeRap free download: https://armaservices.maverick-applications.com/Products/MikerosDosTools/DownloadFree.aspx?download=DeRap.1.77.5.65.Installer.exe

1. install DeRap

2. go to the installdir to bin folder and start the derap.exe (not the dos version)

3. choose your mission.sqm file

4. save the plain text in the mission.sqm.txt file (he suggest this)

5. now go to your mission and rename your mission.sqm (to something other example mission.sqm_backup)

6. now rename the mission.sqm.txt file to mission.sqm

7. open now this file an delete all things you want

TIP: you need to delete the addons from the addons array AND all items in your mission

I can't save as txt and derap says "DeRap: Unknown ArrayType", I think that's because I already edited my mission.sqm file while it was binarized
