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.

Vrael -- wc2 bnet actually came out after starcraft if I recall so its possible it didnt

Vrael -- guess I shouldnt have stated it so strongly as "copied off" since im not completely sure

Vrael -- I dont know the exact timeline because I was pretty young at the time, but wc2 predates starcraft so I'd imagine that map came out before AoS
