How do you protect a map

Hey im making a hero game called SOG (Saints of God) and i was wondering how do you protect it?

WOOO 500th post ^_^

Download a program that allows you to protect it , but before you do ,even though there are fail safes i recommend u copy it to several different folders so u can be ultimilty sure that u can never loose it to sloppy protection.

as for a program, the old best was ex-protect but thats gone somewhere, the best one now id advise is wc3map utilitys.

There are a couple of ways to protect a map, the easiest way of course is to get a map protector, which too my knowledge there are many on these forums. I'll try to put up some links to some after I finish this post. Or a harder way is to follow this tutorial . In the tutorial it shows you how to make a map be read-only, this means people can still open the map to learn what you did but they can't change anything, or so I've been lead to believe, I have never tried it, sorry.

I've uploaded the protector I use, its very simple and easy, but I'm not so sure how easy it is to unprotect. You can use it if you want, if not you can always type in something like 'map protector' in the little search button up no the top and you'll probobly find something. I hope this helped you.
