[JASS] Make game detect game version?

[BOESERTEDDY]

Hi!

I'd like to know if it's possible to make the game check the game version.
There is a number in the editor that shows how many times you already save your map. You can find it under mapdescription at the bottom.
exmap version: 54)

Is there no way to get this number?

 

[CoolSoFar]

Don't really get what you mean with: the game check the game version

And for what reason you want to check how much is it edited??

 

[Herio-san]

To my knowledge there is not. What are you trying to do with the version number? Perhaps there is an alternate way to create what your thinking of.

You can put it manually, just write it yourself.. System can't write it because it's not really important

edit: sorry, I was so stupid... The right is:

You can put it manually, just write it yourself.. System can't read it because it's not really important

Its obvious, he wants to use it as a protection to stop people editing his map, still will not work since triggers are easily changed.

 

[CoolSoFar]

Protection so no1 will edit his map, that's his reason?? Dr Super Good is really good, he even can read into other's mind...

But still the answer are no... Well... Good people are make themself as the map maker but stupid, lazy and bad people became an map breaker which edit a good map into a map with cheat or steal all the credits... That's why I often make an campaign style map remembering this style of map will not updated

Yes, that's what I wanted it for... I know hackers could still delete the triggers, but it would be a lot of work because in the maps i wanna use it is a big chaos :emote_grin:
I don't want to protect the maps because I fear that somebody could steal the credits ect. But it's an ORPG with save/load and I don't want people to have the best items if they are to stupid to beat the bosses...

I use vexorians map optimizer, but that keeps only noobs away ...

that keeps only noobs away ...

And that's the best you can do. Anyone with half a lick of sense can Google it, and anyone experienced with the Wc3 file system can do it themselves more effectively.

Just open the map with jass shop pro and no matter how protected it is the trigger script appears. Also editing the trigger script via jass shop pro (or jass craft, its upgrade) does not change the version. Just optimize and leave since I have EASILY hacked code systems which were optimized and a version system would not stop me.

There are some fairly good ways of anti-protection:

make a function called

function AntiProtection takes nothing returns nothing
    if not udg_myGlobalBool then
        call DisplayTextToForce( bj_FORCE_ALL_PLAYERS, "This map was made by JoeUser" )
        set udg_myGlobalBool = true
    else
        call DisplayTextToPlayer( Player( bj_forLoopAIndex ), 0, 0, "This map was made by JoeUser" )
    endif
endfunction

then, later in your script, things like

call ExecuteFunc( "AntiProtection" )
//somewhere else
set bj_forLoopAIndex = 0
call ExecuteFunc( "AntiProtection" )

That way, if they delete the function, the map will crash at random places.

Sure, it's not foolproof, but it's the best way I can see of keeping people from releasing faked versions of your map (pasting their names on it)

Do not discuss map deprotection or 'hacking' here. That is not what these forums are for. If you want to discuss it, take it somewhere else.

 

[Dr Super Good]

That is not deprotection, its a tool for learning from protected map, I did not list the steps of how to make sense of it all and to use it to hack. Also you need to be good at JASS to use it anyway.

 

[PurplePoot]

And it also describes to BOES why his theoretical method of protection wouldn't work, Tonks

I wouldn't say it was indended to be 'deprotection 101'
