Unprotecting Maps? Looking for Helms Deep RH maps

Hi guys,

I recently loaded up SC:BW again after the announcement of the remastered. I'm trying to find my old maps as well as unprotect them since i deleted my original copies. I actually don't remember how to unprotect/re-protect. I just recall I used starforge for both? Any advice?


Also, if anyone has Helms Deep Random Heroes versions 3.2 or above and can give them to me that would be great!

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Best advice: Google unprotecting sc maps. The first few hits link you to a couple of strong and modern unprotectors, another classic is OSMap.

Why best advice? Because on SEN we're not allowed you to link you the programs or explain to you how to do it. ;)
We respect and actively support a mapmaker's wish to have their work protected / not stolen.

Don't go with OSMAP, it causes all manner of strangeness like randomly swapping strings. Use Unused Unprotector for unprotection, and TinyMap 2 for protection (which has the added benefit of slimming down your file). The only downside is Unused Unprotector will remove comments and replace location names with 000, 001, 002...

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.
