Downloading Maps?

[Mr.Burning Legion]

Unfortunately, whenever I try to DL a map from either Epicwar, Hive, or anything like getdota.com, the map will download, but when the map opens in the editor, some of it loads and it gives me a message like "Invalid Trigger" or "Missing Doodad"

Any Ideas?

The map is protected.

The author of the map purposely corrupted its World Editor files so that it can't be modified, its a "protection" method used by Authors so other people can't claim the Author's work as their own or modify it without permission.

That.

Simple.

Period.

Sorry, I was unable to get to this thread for a while today, and no, I've tried to DL around 30-40 maps and I don't believe they were all protected, For instance, I've tried Diablo 3 for Warcraft, and several other popular maps. (I know what protecting a map is)

Off course, not all of them are protected, it's just a way to prevent people stealing/ripping/cloning/etc stuff of them.

I don't think you get it... I mean I am COMPLETELY unable to DL maps (At ALL)

One more thing: If you download them, do they get opened in WE? If yes, try moving them (cut & paste) them from your temporary folder (the place where downloaded files go to), to your Map Folder.

Or shit like that.

Try this map
My green circle TD
Below the actual map, is a post I made with the unprotected versions attached. Try seeing if you can open those in WE. If not then use JNGP as they are definatly unprotected.

If they still do not open, update WC3 or try reinstalling.

Do you mean you cant click save as?

 

[Mr.Burning Legion]

Thank you Dr. Super Good, yours is the only map that I can seem to get past the "Loading Doodads/triggers" on the WE,

Most maps are protected nowdays, Only some are not, and mine is fully loadable if you got the unoptimized versions.
