Hey, how can i map block (Map protect) my map so no one else can access it on world edit.

I know these are some way, but i dont exactly know how to do them:

-Corrupting the header of the maps database.
-Deleting the GUI triggers from a map.
-Deleting the camera, sounds and region data for World Editor from a map.
-Hiding the maps script file inside the database.


Any help to map protecting is appreciated and +rep'd

I don't know what your talking about.

If those links didn't help you I'd suggest doing a search for WELock. It's what I use and it's a very simple open and save as program. It makes the map smaller too!

Sorry I can't help you more, I'm heading to bed.

Peace!

Well, I opened and saved the stuff, except I dunno how to use it to lock the map. It gives me the program thing but it doesn't give me instructs on how to use it or block my map. For instance I dunno how to use vexirians map blocker.

Get Vexorian's Optimizer from Hiveworkshop tools. Not only it removes some leaks, but it also protects your map.

An ''easy to use'' protection is to import a file into your map (Anything, can be a blank file.) then press it and set the path to 'war3map.wtg'. Just make sure you create a copy of your map first. There's much better protections to use though, but this one is, as i said, easy to use.

There are a lot of ways to pretect your map, i bet you could use the search function on thehelper.net or even google would be of help...

Hi,

I'll expand my protection guide with info on how to use Vexorian's Map Optimizer. I didn't know it was hard to use.

Thanks to Beetlebomb for linking my site, and thanks to Julian4life for pointing out that not everyone knows instantly how to use new programs.

(The update will be posted at: http://www.3ice.hu/blog/protect-warcraft-maps/#vexorian and at http://forum.3ice.hu/viewtopic.php?t=247) It'll be done in an hour or less.
I am me.
Advanced gui triggering merged with jass custom script calls.
I quit school. I am a full time war3 mapper now : D

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
