My windows had a crash and I lost the programme that I used to lock my maps and now I can't unlock them back.:banghead::banghead: If anyone has an unprotected version post 1.0 I'd greatly appreciate it if they sent it to me so I can continue the work on it, on adding new interesting elements and fixing old bugs. From what I can recall there was a bug with gold winning for killing NPCs and I couldn't resolve it so the map might be considered hard to play at the current stage.
Please if you can send an unprotected version or if you have any ideas for programmes that can lock/unlock maps I'd love to have a reply. I am sure that it wasn't the WC Map Optimiser, if that's any help.
Edit: I also sow there is some (very little actually) interest in the map and those who DL it and try it in B.net I'd love some feedback for improvements and changes. I haven't run a multilayer game yet and I can only guess about team work efficiency.
Edit2: I am reconsidering the use for map protectors all together. As I saw they can backfire big time also may prove useless to begin with...if I get an unprotected version I'll update from now with unprotected versions. It is in the interest of the players not to tweak the map as they'll throw it off balance. I'll just need to make something in the map that is my own signature and which will help people make the difference between fake ones and original ones.
Edit3: Duh found a 1.1 unprotected in my mail XD Good I can go on now.
Actually I found out that it was protected too. Somewhere in my database I found an alpfa version with only 3 of the 8 spell types on and it seems it's all I have....I'll have a lot of work to remove the models I removed before and to add the 1001 item icons I used it 1.0...

And all the balancing issues and the nightmarish variables...though I am glad that you liked it. If you could PM me some details about what you'd like to improve (and suggestions) and weak spots, I'd love it ^^
First of all, I would like to say that I am the World's Greatest Idiot. Second of all I'd like to state that again...
After my windows crashed WE wasn't a programme that Windows recognizes as an executive programme (since I only reinstalled the Windows its self) and when I selected to open wc3 map files with WE it just opened WE, and I though that the map was protected...fortunately I realized that once WE is opened I needed to select which map to be loaded. So now I am back on 1.1 and I'll work on fixing the gold issue...
I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
