Is there a way to stop OSMAP? I heard there was a way to make OSMAP unprotect maps but making them junk and hard to edit anyone know how?



None.

I think you can make all locations and triggers have the same name or something.

Lolz, I really don't know why you'd want to stop it, it's great, but when you open a map with OS Map, it's generally hard to edit, since all locations are named the same, and all strings except the ones seen in-game are set to the same thing.

I want it to make it as hard as it can be for them to copy

Now that's not very nice! How do you think all of us have learned how to map? Besides, I know no such way to do so, you can make it hard for them to read strings by using Farty's SC Character Swap to make it so they cannot edit strings easily, since it uses special characters only in the actual SC font.

I have an osmap proof method for preventing people from rigging map by adding a secret location. But it fails if they are willing to dig through the triggers of the map.

Flawless way of protecting your map. Open up the .mpq file, and delete the "scenario.chk" file inside. Nobody will EVER be able to access your map, no matter how hard they try!

What you are talking about is when people but a blank comment in it trigger, amking it really hard to go through. This too can be done in more recent versions of osmap.

However woland, there is hope for your case. Your map is probably too lame for anymore to host let alone take time out of their day to osmap, rigged, and spread. Most people that freak over osmap ruining their creations make terrible maps tht no will spread, thus no need to worry. It's great how things balance out.
