This Is Aggravating!!! Cannot Save!!!

I'm trying to make some small tweaks to a map (I am not stealing or rigging the map!!!) and everytime I try to save, World Editor Unlimited closes!!!

The Progress thing is at Generating Map Script and under it is the word Variables, and then WEU closes and a new window appears, saying has encountered a problem and needs to close. It also gives me the option of either sending an error report to microsoft or to just close the window. When I try to send an error report it sends an error report and it tells me to follow a link which tells me to follow a link which is the troubleshooting thing on http://www.blizzard.com!!! Can anybody help me?

Is there any way to undo the heavy locker? I am not going to distribute this map, I couldn't even if I wanted to. I just want to play around with a few things and learn some stuff. I also was trying to edit some stuff so see what would happen.

Heavy Locker is a form of map protection. Map Protection was created for the very purpose to keep others out of the map, and to see how things were done. If you really wanted to know how something was done, you'd be best off posting in General Development or Trigger Haven to see how something is done. Tampering with other's maps was the sole purpose map protection was created to prevent. Heavy Locker can be undone, but only with a large knowledge of Wc3 MPQ files and maybe some basic coding. Sorry.

Calm down HexenLord, the problem he described doesn't involve deprotection as he is able to open and view to map. He just can't save it. Theoretically he could rip everything he wanted.

What is ripping and how would I go about doing that?
