Is there any way atm that you can protect a map where it cannot be opened?

Thanks.



None.

Yeah, open up the map in a hex editor, and change a few values, the ones at the top really work if you change them.

But honestly, there is a point where StarCraft has to be able to read it, therefore no, unprotectors like Unused Unprotector can open it, as we can only protect it so far.



None.

Does trigger viewer also work for anything that is protected as well? It simply doesn't unprotect the map but views all triggers... I guess someone can also get you there as well just by viewing your triggers...

Actually, Unused Unprotector does a much better job than Trigger Viewer, as it can support Korean characters, and I'm not sure if Trigger Viewer can beat the protection done with Storm.dll, like it is with Shadow Protector.

Nekron -- like the train maps, enemies just kind of come at you (I'm not sure if there is a real enemy base, there might be one just on a technicality - you are to never interact with its production) and then you gotta chase trains for lulz

Nekron -- and even in WoL imo everything ends up feeling like you're just getting a lot of hidden timers that kind of force you into awkward resource management between main objective and defending your base against enemies from beyond this world

Nekron -- some ideas were okay in WoL but the further you go the worse it gets

NudeRaider shouted: also the sc2 campaign mechanics were way more fun and involving
not that the og sc1 campaigns are particularly good mechanically but cmon, SC2 map mechanics are the opposite of fun

NudeRaider -- maybe that people don't actually like the pathfinding jank and having to use trigger duplicators to do basic arithmetic.

da real donwano -- Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet shouted: da real donwano and you remember the time spent there in shame
Honestly, that's exactly it too. Nothing could ever top OG SC, what was Blizz thinking?
