How do you do this? Ive seen alot of protected maps, and i was wondering how to do this.

You use a third party program like this: http://www.staredit.net/files/12/ to protect your maps

Some of the protectors that were on maplantis were great protectors. http://www.staredit.net/maplantis/index.php?sid=48bec6297c;wiki=5#wiki_5

OS Map and TinyMap are by far the best protectors, as they are really only meant to compress, so they make your map as small as possible, protecting it as a side-effect.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
