I am not unprotecting for bad reasons.... i want to unprotect certain maps for a good reason and heres why....

I have an old computer and i created tons of maps, however i protected them. And eventually i got a new computer and copied all the uncomplete maps into the new computer. However when i try to open them it says that they are protected... How can i unprotect them so i can continue the maps? Also i threw out my old computer...

In addition i imported some fun maps, to my new computer and after trying to open my protected maps i failed.. i tried to open the other maps and eventually i found out that all the maps that were imported were protected..Isnt that weird? i imported about 100 maps....and all protected... however on the old computer i can open some of the maps....

Thanks in advance!

and i used the search button before posting this....

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
