Protect Your Map Manually
By Orc_Tamer
What You Need
- A Text Program Like Notepad or Wordpad
- A Map (make a copy of the orignal one)
- Knowledge of World Editor Import Manager And MPQ
First Step
- Open your text program
- Save a blank text file
- Make a copy of the text file
Second Step
- Import both blank text files
- Check the box that says "use custom path"
- Rename one "war3map.w3g" without quotes and "war3map.wtg" without quotes

What It Does?
It confuses the world-editor so the person trying to open your map will get these errors:
- -You can't open it.
- -It can't load any data.
- -File Format Invalid.
