If you searched the other topics here, you will know that only on the Blizzard forums there is someone talking about how to break the protection, though most of it is for hacking purposes.

And as it stands, if you unprotect, you will either get nothing in your w3x at all, or just half. Turning into BAK creates a lot of special files that can't be moved around in the editor, as you know. But, whatever there is to "crack" the BAK, it isn't strong enough and you always end up with residue of the protection.

oops ... never found out wat map protectors do wel darg pls help me and tell me how TO PROTECT my map and not lose it... when i protect my map it sais Trigger files invalid or missing (or sumthing) and can that map be played once its protected?

Protected Map's cannot be opened into the Editor, but of course can be opened with Warcraft. And... if Warcraft can read it, that means theres is a way to break the protection.

So when you protect it, just make a backup copy of a non-protected one.
