Map protector...

Where can I get a good map protector? My old one doesn't work properly on TFT maps and the new one always causes errors when you try to open it in game.

EDIT: Oh yey! It's my 100th post. Go me!

When you say "new one", do you mean "Heavy Locker"? And, if so, are you setting the "obfuscate" level all the way up? That can cause the map to become corrupt; even Blackdick warns you about that. If that's the case, then just lower the obfuscate level until your map works properly. Otherwise, I can't say that I know what the problem is.

The one i'm talking about is Extprotect... where can I get the Heavy Lock?

That godly compressing/protection tool, created by BlackDick, can be found here: Heavy Locker

Yes, the download link in the first post is the latest version, and furthermore, yes, it is a godly tool. :ggani:

Okay, I just found out. It's not the locking tool. It's the Map itself that is the problem... DAMNIT! It was wroking fine earlier today.

Here's the error:

You have a conflict with your triggers somewhere. Possible causes include: 1) Something with a "Map Initialization" trigger,
2) A conflict with some other trigger happening when it crashes (duh)
3) Trigger being used incorrectly
4) Imported Files

Sorry, but I'm afraid that only you can figure out the exact problem. Time to go through all of your trigger logic and see what's wrong. Good luck! :D

I un-enabled all my triggers and deleted my imported files. I still got the error.

Wait, is this error happening after you protect it? emote_confused

EDIT: Nevermind, I saw the other post just now. Good to hear that things are fine. :D

What? No yuo didn't, you told me it was either a trigger or an imported file, then gave me a linkt o a list of fixes like checking your memory...

EDIT: So maybe you did, but I wasn't there too see it.... anyway, thanks to you too I guess.

a good thing to protect triggers is to convert it all to custom script (jass)....

dunno if its said before, i just thought of it

btw. remember to have an unprotected backup, custom script cant be changed back
