Starcraftfreak just told you, but here's links.

W3M Map Utilities
http://w3m.co.kr/data/eng/w3mutil_eng.exe

--> This program has a built-in map protector. This is the one I use because it works... I use the highest level of protection which claims it can't even be opened in winmpq.

Heavy Locker

--> This is the other one which I tried once and my map still opened in WE. Maybe I did it wrong or maybe that's what it's supposed to do. I'm not gonna find the link for that one because I think you'll be fine with W3M Map Utilities.

BattleBotv8.2	When I try to run w3mutil.exe it doesnt work. When I use the Updator, there is a error but the program starts. And if I try the Highest Protection the program crashes, any help people?

MPQs canÂ´t be protected at all. This "protector" just patches your WINMPQ with another one that canÂ´t read some files. You will be running a "modified" WINMPQ, but anyone with the standard WINMPQ or any MPQ Extractor will be able to open it.

This was a bug with HeavyLocker. ItÂ´s fixed now, it actually locks the map.

W3M Map Utilities' protection suck. Use ExtProtect. I tried to crack a map I want to mod that used W3M Map Utilities' (so-called) protection, I just make a dummy map, delete the "corrupted" files in the protected map, throw in the valid ones, modify some files, then I got everything except UI triggers in 10 minutes. Next I recreated the W3G file byte by byte by hand, and poof, map unprotected. I was going to release the mod when I saw a newer official version with ALL the features I put into my mod... so I pressed Alt+F4 and went to smash a pillow...

Why suck? It's same way with another protector programs.(HeavyLock, ExtProtect...)
even it is support to another protection way.
also not easy alike you think about unprotection way.
