Yea, vexorian's map optimizer is probably my favorite map protector. It's not unbreakable, though. Then again, no map protector truly is. As long as warcraft 3 can open a map, the data can be reconstructed so WE can open it.

There's always removing the listfile, or importing a blank wc3map.wtg (or whatever, I totally forget -_-; ) file and obsfuciation if you want to go crazy :D

Removing listfiles and wtg is lame, the map unprotectors are able to reconstruct that stuff with no problem at all, currently my obfuscation methods are the only way to stop GUI reconstructing, it is not going to be forever but at least it works now

The general idea is that make it so they would actually have to do some research to crack open your map, in which they would be better off finding a less protected target. And yeah if you have it JASS instead of GUI that will probably stop all except the smarter map deprotector. (but thats an oxymoron anyways...)
