You should optimize your map to keep it from being opened in WE.

There is an anti-cheat system here on the Hive. Search for it in the Spells section.

You can't protect maps

Anti-Cheat systems can't stop people from cheating

The most you can do is make it a little hard, but they can still crack your map in <15 seconds and add cheats to it in another 25.

edit
Actually, I take that back, there are some ways to completely stop cheating and to completely protect a map, but those ways will destroy the performance of your map. It'll likely be totally unplayable : ).

Too bad there is no way to generate a checksum of the map script in JASS.

if it's playable, it's openable.
Only way some people knows

 

[MasterTrainer]

But most pro maps are protected like dota, but it's still playable, right?

Clarify something for me: when you say that, do you mean it's opened in the regular way or by a different method? If so, do you know how (because I would like to know too)

^ Still can be unprotected that's what he means.

By different method.
And I dont know how, but lets say I used to know a guy who knows that....
He could just export all the triggers and objects if he wanted it (again, I dont know), but he's a good guy and he doesn't do that

And to end with.
Just search for Warcraft 3 map optimizer and optimize it with it. In addition, you can use Widgetizer to maximize the optimization effect

Try and tell me the results

 

[Almia]

the code is in jass and i don't want to share how to do it(perhaps,some people esp the modellers knows how to do this)
Actually,i use a tool to get the resources from a protected map but it can only retrieve the code from the header(i guess). The other one i use is for open maps,if i don't have WE.

Could you at least give us a clue to how we can do it?

 

[Almia]

Two tools used is from deprotecting.

 

[BloodDrunk]

that is nice
Try to get code from DotA (I think its code is hidden somewhere, so it seems impossible to find it)
No wonder since IceFrog is game designer and he worked on war 3 so he hid it somewhere....

I don't think that unprotecting maps or stealing from protecting maps discusions are legal......................................................................
If the police gets notified this will get closed.............

 

[Almia]

@The_Blood
False.
First, IceFrog didn't design DotA 2, Valve did.
Second, don't waste your time in DotA's codes, its in Jass and the code sucks.
Third, you will lose your originality.
Fourth, you are stealing.

I was talking about Warcraft 3 DoA...

 

[Almia]

^ You said Game Design. Its Map Design in Warcraft Talking.
Anyways,the 2 to 4 truths i said are true(ofc)

How can I protect maps so that it will not be Openable in World Editors And

Delete any World Edit only data. A good one to delete is the GUI trigger data.

How can I Remove the cheats in a Map (greedisgood,whosyourdaddy etc.)

You cannot and doing so is frowned upon by most players and moderators as it makes testing maps considerably more difficult. If your map features progression (like an RPG) then separate multiplayer mode from single player mode. Even if the player is alone in multiplayer mode, he still cannot cheat so you do not need to worry about cheating.
