Anyone knows what map protector or programme did dota use?
Because i heard people said that dota map cannot be deprotected due to its good protection.
If anyone knows, pls tell me. +rep if helped

HOPE ABOVE IS ALLOWED IN FORUM.
If it is not allowed, do not blame me.

Since when is map protection not supported?

Most people simply use Vexorian's Optimizer, which simply compresses the map and removes unneeded scripts, and therefore, protecting the map. Another program for PC Users to use is ExProtect. However, you can also manually change the script with an MPQ Browser. For Macs, this would likely be MPQ Extractor, and for PC, you can use PowerMPQ. To protect a map with an MPQ Editor, just search for the [LJASS]war3map.wtg[/LJASS] file in the .MPQ and delete it.

TH.net supports map protection. We do not support map DEprotection. If you are looking to open up DotA to see how it was done, then I would probably suggest the DotA Template created by AceHart and SD_Ryoko. This map is unprotected and available for download from the World Editor Tutorials site. It's not up to date, but it still has much of the functionality and abilities of DotA.

Here is a rule of thumb: if Warcraft III can open it, anyone can ;). Of course, a good protection might turn off the wannabe hackers that don't know that much, but for an experienced person, any map can be opened.

So no solutions at all?
Maybe anyone knows any system that once a trigger is added or removed.
Game immediately do an action - including crash the game.
Or a special programme to protect for only playing but not editing

honestly, what i can tell you is.............Dota can be deprotected, In my country, i see a lot of dota 6.67c 6 vs 6 map, i do play the map and find out that the map is same as dota 6.67c, what they do is to add 1 more player for each team and change the sentinel and the scourge to be controlled by neutral.

So are you going to say there is a perfect protection system? I don't think so, and as long as the warcraft 3 can open and play the map, it can be deprotected.

If warcraft 3 can open and play the map, there is a way to deprotect the map, at such there is no perfect protect program. Simple take Vexorian's Optimizer, because if warcraft 3 can open the map....................(enough to repeat)

DUELPLAYER, LISTEN TO IT, PLEASE!

1 - any map can be DEprotected.
2 - protection only prevent NOOBS from screwing up ur maps, but if a hacker wants to put cheats in your maps he can!
3 - the best way of doing a good map and prevent cheats (but FOR SURE SOME ONE WILL MAKE CHEATS), is using a map protector like vexorian's and make SEMANAL updates of your map ALWAYS in the same LINK! so people will know that if they want the NONhacked version, they just need to go to the same link and get it. for example, I NEVER DOWNLOAD DOTA from a host, I always go to www.getdota.com, just create a place where your map always is, for example, put your map here in THE HELPER FORUM, and create an ADVICE message in the start of your game which says: "to download new versions of this map go to:
"http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=150855&page=2"

simple like this, because it's not possible to prevent hacking.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
