Need Help getting rid of map protection

I have a map call tank wars v1.04, i can open this map in editor just fine. However when i do so, there are no triggers, all the buildings are gone, spawn points ect. its as though only the map tile exsist, if i were to open the map and just plainly resave it as a new name without changing anything the map gets messed up. I was wondering if anyone would know how to fix this issue.

I'm wondering why you are wanting to open this map. I don't know the map personally, but it sounds as though it is protected. Thus it is protected for a reason. If you want to do a trigger similar to something that the author of that map has done, perhaps you would be better off to post a question here to ask how that trigger can be done. I don't think that people on these forums will be particularly happy about unprotection etc especially cause everytime such issues are raised, it has become extremely controversial and contentious. Failing that, has the author of the map left any correspondence email addresses or websites etc eg under quests in the ingame menu? Perhaps you can contact that person directly then.

There is a thought that it is noobs and newbs who will steal maps and credits for maps, and/or put their own cheats into maps. More advanced map makers know how to unprotect, but will usually refrain from such activities since they are advanced enough to appreciate the work that goes into making such maps....just a warning in case flaming starts....

I Guess more advanced mappers when they discover to unprotect, you reach a level that is only to see how a trigger was done, etc...

Noobs do that to do exactly what you have said, copy the map, change like a secret +1000 all stats tome, and play on net.

So funny ;P

I Already played tank wars, is a nice game, again repeating above, need a help on a trigger, we will glady do our best (i know i will) to help you discover the world of mapping.

Best regards ;D

i wasnt trying to rip anything off, i wouldnt do that, just trying to figure out a few triggers like how to things, for ex) making the weapons in the inventory auto shoot, how to do 3rd person cam, and how to make units spawn and auto auto move to an area. im new in map making and was just trying to get some of it down. thought it would be easier to just look at the triggers rather than ask about 20 questions in the forums

Is simple dude, hey, here's my MSN, almost all of your questions i can answer (and you can find in the forums.)

Add me, i authorize you is: [email protected]
I'm waiting for you to get online ;D

So... reNaRd, this is a forum for helping with map development questions. Why would he ask just you individually instead of posting his Specific, Detailed questions here for multiple people to take a crack at?

MrGrunty, did you know that th15 is a moderator of this forum? He made yer map. Asking questions will certainly yield you some answers.

Umm, th15 made Tank Commanders, Tank Wars seems to be some different map.

Auto-attacking items are done either by triggered dummy units, or by a modified phoenix fire ability. Unit spawning: very simple. On a periodic event, create a unit, then order last created unit to attack-move to it's target destination. Just look at the trigger events and actions a bit, they are quite logical.

Feel free to ask - others may have a similar question and we can all learn then. And you never know...the question you have may have been asked before - it's not surprising that many questions have been asked on these forums - so do a search. (It's amazing how many people just ask and don't search first...leading to multitudes of threads about the same topic, for certain topics).
