Protecting Maps

No matter what i do; wc3 optimizer, multiple protecting programs; nothing works. People can always unprotect my maps.

Please.... someone point me in the direction of a protector that is foolproof

there is no foolproof methods. If WC3 can open the map, cheaters and theives can. Best way to protect a map? Have an easy to remember download location and spread the map.

Dont upload your maps, only on your own hhd no one can hack it. Once uploaded, no protection will help.

Long ago i reverse ingeenere save\load systems from other maps, none resisted, simply you cant hide code.

Use Vexorian's Optimizer. It's not failproof, but it sure helps since few who bother de-protecting know JASS. Plus, some options will crash the editor if someone tries to open it. Vex's Optimizer can be found on the site.

Isn't this like... against Da Rulz? Discussion of map protection in public?

It sucks 'cus I'm using Mac, so I do the best I can... but it is best to use VMO if you can.

I don't think talking about how to protect a map, or what to protect it with is the rule, i think it's deprotecting/opening protected maps.

Hm, at least that got cleared up.

Are there any protectors/optimizers of equal or greater quality than VMO?

For those who don't know what I'm talking about when I say VMO, it's Vexorian's Map Optimizer...

If you want me to protect things for you I will happily, if thats what your asking.
The mods can read PMs (teehee) as far as I know, so If i tried to steal it it would be neg rep and ban city for me.

PRIVATE messages. I'm pretty sure they can't. And why would you steal his map anyways?

The best way to protect your map... Is to use Vex's Optimizer. I think there was a thread like this a while ago u know
