Hey i use ExtProtect and for some reason when i try to unportect my map it says. Error unprotecting the map: unable to access files in map archive! What does that mean? My game is lost? Curropted? Please help.
 
Hey gay retarted noob. Ive used this program before, i use the same password every time, i know the password, im not a noob. So dont post anything that doesnt support the subject that people host, cause i didnt want your gay opinion. I wanted advice if there was, or wasnt a way to fix this problem.
 
The bottom line is, this is my game, the map file name is called, Pirates ahoy 2.5 I know the password, i have it WRITTEN down. Either this thing did somthing to my map, or its a windows vista security problem. Ive protected and uprotected my map before. Used same pass every time. Every time i run world editor i run it as administrator. This is my map, i created the file my self, and placed the file in C:\program files\warcraft 3\maps\favorites
(Favorites is a folder that i made so when i play warcraft all my games that i like will be in favorites, instead for seraching for it in download.) Anyways, I understand the text "Use this at your own risk" But come on, you can ask ion_lash, 2007b-rad, hadoken, on US east. Or check the epic war and it will say. Author popupupop. I dont know why this is happening now i do the same thing i always do protecting and unprotecting my map. So if you dont wana help me fine, caues i understand that i use this at my own risk.

Care to explain what the program is? It sounds like you're using HeavyLocker; an extremely inadvisable and unstable program. It tends to kill maps.

Regardless of your idiotic purpose for deprotecting a map, it's not supported. Sure, if I didn't know how, I could come here and say "omg my map was broken when protecting, how can I deprotect it ?!11," and voila, another nub loose on protected maps.
I personally don't support protecting maps, but I respect an author's decision to do so and I will by all means do my best not to unleash potential map-ruiners on their maps, if that's their wish.

By the way, when asking for help, it's generally not a good idea to call someone "Hey gay retarted noob." Most people would be offended. I won't be, though, because I couldn't give a shit what some 11 year old whining on a forum thinks. :)

im not a noob.

Says who?

i didnt want your gay opinion.

It wasn't an opinion. It was a statement of fact. You can't use some shitty nub program to deprotect a map and open it (most of the time).

By the way, when you post on a public forum, crying and whining for help, you're asking for people's opinions. Don't shoot down a statement because you don't agree with it, when you asked for that statement. Especially if said statement is true.

Also, don't double post, fool.
 
Yea yea whatever, first of all. Im using XctProtect. Not heavy lock. Second. I fixed the problem. And no your opinion wasnt a fact. Thanks for throwing uneeded comments at me, so dont say, im tryin to unprotect a map that isnt mine. Anyways i fixed the problem, i can edit my map again. Thankyou.
