Heavy Locker

when i use full lock on it i cant play it? when i try to make a game with it, it just says "game can not be found" and if i try to run it in singleplayer then it just takes me back to the map selection screen. otherwise, it works fine. can someone help? sry if this is a newbie question

Its probably a bug. Send me the UNPROTECTED version of this map to [email protected]

dataangel, I think I won´t do that. Sorry but the HeavyLocker is a Compressor/Map protector, not a w3m editor. This is the kind of stuff to see on the W3M Editor, not on HeavyLocker. Basically, I´m concearned with compression/map optmizations and some security improvements.

I have a few suggestions:

• Store the last directory and use it instead the Warcraft III directory
• Store last used settings
• Scripting (similiar to MPQ2k scripting)

Well, see, the problem is that the more complicated stuff I try to do, the more stuff I need to be done to the map after saving. It'd actually be nice if you gave heavylock command line functionality, because then I could just make a nice batch file to do all this stuff =)

Tis shitz belongs in da editing tools forum!! About your problem, however, I believe you should have made a back up :) 3rd party programs are prone to bugs and crashes.

yeah, i have at least 3 backups

I was trying to use BlackDick's heavy locker and it seems to not be working. After I lock a map it can no longer be opened in the world editor nor warcraft 3. When I try to play the map in single player the player slots simply do not load.

What am I doing wrong? I read the readme and it should be working correctly. I really need to get this working since it reduces the filesize by 33%. Thanks

Sometimes, for what map is couldn't work by HeavyLocker
Because "Script Reassembly" error.

-can't support another language code. (if you use another language code in script, crash error)
-sometimes happen error for what map.

Ya, I've had bugs with it too, once it gave me "Map file cannot be found" every time I tried to start a game with my map.

Try just re-locking a backup version, might fix it.

Or you could also try a different map protector if you can't seem to get that one working. Check out extprotect in the tools list.

Oh, and I also moved this thread to the correct forum. :D

I hate exprotect since it ADDs 50kb to the filesize. I wanted to get Heavy Locker working since it did the opposite. 50kb is a lot when the map file size is already 550kb. =\

Turn on everything but obfuscate script. That's what screw it up.

When locking a map I cannot uncheck obfuscate script :(

This exact issue is happening to me. Did you find a way to fix this BlackDick?

It works fine for me....
