My map cant run

@1st i wanna say hello to all, im new member here, i was on this site many times, but this is my 1st time that i was need to ask something

Problem is in next:

As one member of dday map developement team, i got job to make some changes, well i can say that map lost ex-editor... well it doenst matter much now...

here is problem, i got souce, i didnt had much exp in we,
as programer, i understood gui fast, and bases of jass,

still im not much familar with map protections and errors which WE can give

I downloaded many version of WE, and i use WE Helper [well dunno does is that important] with warcraft version 1.21 [cracked verision < i also dont know is that important]

well somehow i found way to edit and those stuffs, but when i save map and when i want to run it, i get this error



can anyone give me some idea what should i do??

i said that i dont know much about protections. that mean editor just gave me souce and some files he told me to just but files in root of my warcraft and all will be good. [so i maybe messed something here]

unfortunately i cant find him for days, and thats why im asking u for help

i hope that u can help me

thats probably a protection for the map ... i'm thinking about the "External source" protection ... if u say he gave u the files .... the map works by opening the files from a source so the files he gave u with the map MUST be on the same adress for example - when he made the map the files were located at "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Maps\Dday\FILES" to open that map you must have the files stored in the same adress ... now probably he meant just to copy them in the Warcraft Folder. if im right the files he gave you should be something like MPQs or maybe some Object data ... at least i think that way, my suggestion is : try only to find the right place for that data.
GOOD LUCK

hmm it have sense, i will search around trigers to find where map search for external data

as i remember other guy made that protection long long time ago, i will have to contact him...

hmm do u have idea where in trigers should i look for one for protection?

Well its not a trigger option ... you set that option here :

When u open world editor:
Scenario->Map Preferences->Last row is "External Custom Data Source"
and under it u have "Chose File" it should write near it the correct address it usually looks for Object data files.

Isn't that a corruption in the MPQ header... in other words, a form of protection?
I am sorry if that's breaking any of the rules...

As far as I know, you can't salvage that file until you can fix that header...

hmm
@skorpion
i have files like this
but i cant target them on way as u said :(

@tide-arc ephemera it is kinda protection (i didnt got what is breaking rules here :( )
what u said about fixing header ??

It's against the rules to discuss map protection and unprotection.

Anyway, I do not know how to unscramble MPQ headers, maybe ask somebody else. All I know is that it can be scrambled and unscrambled.

It's against the rules to discuss map protection and unprotection... oh that...

well i leave my msn, anyone who can help me, plz contact me

zzz... i gotta solve this fast :(


btw. why is not allow to talk about protection?

Imagine people scheming and plotting to rip a map and release it as a rigged, cheated and hacked version.
