Dont know how to break this to you all, but the password protecting is now VERY insecure.

Heres the background:
Myprogram takes your pass, encrypts it, and stors a random number in the file with your encrypted password.

it then backs up the right stuff within your map itself. This was so I could add password unprotect later.

Then it deletes the listfile, so MPQ editors cant see what the files are called to get them back.

PROBLEM:
Now WinMPQ displays unknows files :(
Therefore, anyone with a minimal amount of knowledge could restore the map easily.

Solutions:
1) After you protect it, open it up in WinMPQ and delete the 3 unknown files.

2) Wait for me to re-release a new version of it

Duh
Damn you!

Well... at least it works for importing and compressing. None of the other protectors do that and a few mpq viewers have that options.
