Unlocking a protected map (Wraith Dodge)?

Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this.

I've come across a cool map that's extremely difficult, maybe some of you have heard of it: Wraith Dodge.

It plays more like an arcade style game and haven't seen many maps quite like it. One problem I find that myself and a lot of players online are terrible at it which takes so much of the fun away from the map.

I'd like to test out an auto respawn so that it keeps players engaged and prevent them from leaving as soon as they die.

But I'm not able to open the map for editing. Attempting to open in SCMDRAFT2 gives me an error loading the map "Exception raised while loading the MPQ. The MPQ appears to be in an unsupported format."

I would attempt to remake the map but the creators have done a superb job and used some blackmagic that I'd probably never figure out..

I tried using "Unused Unprotector 2" but was no go. The file it created was much, much smaller and wouldn't open.



None.

We do a little trolling

Map unprotectors aren't officially supported here, but I think we've gotten to an era in SC's history where no one really cares if an old map is unprotected.. particularly if you respectfully leave credit to the original creator. I'd suggest googling SMC 2.88 naver, probably your best chance of getting in.

I could have a look at it if the guys over here won't have anything against it.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
