Heavy Locker

I figured out that certain people where experiencing problems with the latest version (0.28) of HeavyLocker. Since I used the 0.27 version I didn't experience the problems reported by other people.
FyreDaug confirmed for example that with the 0.27 version the problems he encountered with 0.28 were gone.

Therefore I provide you with a download for 0.27:
Heavy Locker 0.27

^^
therefor we than you :)

I can say by myself that he is right

so whats new in 0.28 that makes it not work? im too lazy to check, all i care is that my map is now protected :)

Thanks Starcraftfreak! Now the DoC mp will... well, be small enough to run on b.net!

I suggest to use this form of recompression in any case. Personally I use it without protection and without listfile removal most of the time. Especially the compression of text-based files (TXT, SLK, J, AI) will increase by a significant degree.

mm, give me 10 minutes and ur map is unprotected... :)

Do you have a website or is this thread pretty much it?

this thread is the only place to get heavy lock .

how do you make it so u can compress the map but not make it protected so other people can open it?

To compress it use the Enable Map Optimizations checkbox.
To leave it unprotected, don't click the Use 'Map Lock' Options box.

Quick Question. Its obvious that you prefer 0.27 over 0.28. 0.28 doesn't seem to offer map protection for 1.16, does 0.27 offer map protection for 1.16?

If it doesn't, my protector (see sig) should. It won't compress the map as much, but it will protect it.

Hi Black, I have sum questions 1 can u give us the most updated Heavy Locker and 2 can you make a way so that you can get into the map in edit mode by pass word and then in war3 it can go in w/o pass 3~ if i am too use heavy locker in my map editor can War3 still open the file and allow others to dl???

The last version is 0.28, altough it has some bugs. You could also try 0.27 just in case. The next version is being developed altough it will take some time (I have clases at morning and at night and even on saturdays). The free time I got I rather spend with my friends and my girfriend.

Sorry but this is not possible. I can´t make World Editor ask you for a password. The best we can do is store an encrypted small backup onto the protected map and then to restore this backup you must provide a password, just like ExtProtect does.

You don´t use Heavy Locker on your map editor. (HL is an external tool, not a plugin). First you create your map as usual and after your map is finished you can use HeavyLocker, ExtProtect or Vex Optmizer to protect it. The protection allows the map to be playable (and downloaded) but won´t allow you to open it on the WolrdEditor. Notice that the "protection" is not 100% proof: it just makes things a bit harder to map stealers. Anyone with some JASS practice can reverse the protection.
