Map-Protector

[5MinutenTerrine]

Darky, you told me about 2 months ago that you developed a map-protector which allows other people to open the map, view the triggers and so on. But if they change the map-author they can't save the map anymore.
You also sent me an example map where i can try it for myself. I think this protector is a great idea! Can you upload it in your tools-section? I'd really like to use it.

Yes, me too. It is just great. So we can look at the triggers and so on, but the author cannot be changed. The only problem is, when htey ruin the map, and all think you made such crap. :?
I protect it with "Heavy locker", though.

PS:5MinutenTerrine, du auch hier?

My Protection isnt made by a Application

My Protection isnt made by a Application

Well, that's too bad
But thx for your answer.

@Trotim ähmm....nein

Hmm

I think people use map protectors to protect it from theft, which is a shame to newcomers making maps. So, if people make tutorial maps that peeps can open up, it would solve this problem once and for all!

I don't know about you, but I don't want another person take my maps, give themself credit or trash it!
That's why I use map protectors though!

Darky, your skins and stuff rules!

Darky,

How do you unprotect maps, and where is this heavy locker application that locks them, I don't see them in the tools section.

Sincerely,

Strom

@strom

there wont be any unprotectors or protectors on the tools section

@Nosam

99% of all protected maps are not worth being protected, because they are
A: too crappy
B: single player map
C: cinematic map
D: simply unpopular

Dude, can I have your unprotect scripts? I have servers that can handle just about any type of script... I am as against map protecting as you are. If you feel so strongly about it, I suggest releasing your map unprotector script to the public so people can use it.

Just a thought.

There is supposedly a way to "protect a map" with the help of a application, it makes it so mostly everything can't be changed, actually, it doesn't ALLOW you to save the file, but you are allowed to see the triggers and be able to learn from them how they work, if i can refind this i will be sure to see if i can post it, but, i most likely will not be able to find it I also know it exists, seeing how UndeadBudgie's FFORPG and most by DankStoner are like that, but they didn't want people to even open the maps (such a shame too not be able to look at!). But you can also see the reason they protected :

1: so people can't cheat by opening up the editor, learning the save/load codes of them, and figure out every code and be able to get anything.

2: to make it so people don't rip-off, destroy, ruin, cripple, steal-credit, ect. from their map.

What they truly need to add to a map editor is a protection that can hide and/or destroy certain triggers (such as save/load code trigs) yet also allow people to look at the other triggers!

@nathanmx

If i'd release my scripts i'd start a war in the community.
Thats also the reason why i dont put protector tools on the tools section here.
If i allow protectors I will also allow unprotectors and i'll put my scripts up there too...

Just don't upload any map protecting or map unprotecting tools
