I have a map i want protected but when i protect it the thing compresses and the music doesnt play anymore. How can i protect it any keep the music?

Maybe it's the compressor, wavs should still play fine. What compressor do you use?

Just try using a different compressor//protector.

i found that if u use uberedit v3 and go to compression and set it to combo compression then the music stays just fine.

Only real protector that doesn't mess up the map in any way* for me is Tinymap. It gives nice compression and offers BASIC protection. (As in, probably crackable by Unused)

*That I'm aware of.

better to use a map compressor than a protector in all cases.

Well, you do have several options available to you that you can try, TinyMap will make your map the smallest, and it doesn't even touch WAVs, so that would be my choice, but it's also the most easily crackable with unprotection tools.

If you're going for protection, I'd try StarCraft Map Cracker first, but if that makes your map unplayable, with is fairly likely, I would try using Special Protector 3 next, and if neither of those worked, then Shadow Protector should work, and if not, your map is screwy and you can do whatever works

If you want the best of both worlds, you can wait for Farty to finish TinyMap2, it's still in betas, but the current version is fairly stable, although it does glitch when it comes to WAVs, so using the beta isn't even an option, but it has the best protection, as well as the best compression available, so if you're willing to wait, that would be your best choice.

tiny map works.
