MapGaurd
v0.A.1
Introduction
Yes, there are many map protector tools out there these days so you may be thinking to yourself why another?
Well, I believe this one implements some new functionality that others do not. MapGaurd lets you lock your map with a password, so if you somehow lose your maps original copy, you can go back and unlock it.
MapGaurd also includes a few script features that implement some safety into your map. Currently only disabling single player exists, though I plan on adding a few more methods such as Jesus4Lyf's C2I protection.
If you want to use this tool you need the following;

Using With Vex's Optimizer
Vex's map optimizer is arguably one of the greatest tools for Warcraft maps, so I decided to make this tool work with it, allowing you to combine the two tools. Simply un-tick the "Remove Editor Only Files" and "Remove as much WE only data as possible" boxes and all should be fine.
FAQ
- How does it work?
- That's for the "hackers" to find out.
- Can you implement YOUR_SYSTEM_HERE
- Reply to the thread.
- Why does my map get bigger?
- It should only increase your maps size by 1 or 2 kilobytes, which is almost no difference. It's because it's editing some of the internal files changing the size.
- So this can make my map unhackable?
- No tool can make your map unhackable, this makes it unopenable in the editor for noobs trying to hack your map. The best way to keep hackers away is to create plenty of roadblocks in the maps script. So combining this tool and vex's map optimizer makes a pretty good team.
