i thought of this protection method while readting through "we need new/better map protection", a closed thread. i don't understand much of warcraft 3 map data files, so i could be wrong. a protected map has the blank space between datas replaced with random data, so it gets sort of corrupted. it cannot be opened by WE and warcraft 3. the trick is: make a nice little patch (<- illegal!) or loader to make warcraft 3 to attempt to load the map anyway if it loads a "corrupted" warcraft 3 map advantage: it confuses newbies and most hardcore modders and map-screwers disadvantage: everyone who wants to play your map needs the patch (<- illegal!) or the loader. advantage: if everyone puts this map protection in their maps so it becomes well known just like a blizzard game patch, you don't need to care about people who dont have the patch p.s. whoever person that makes a map unprotector needs a FORK in the ***.
