just a note, protecting your map will not stop people stealing it they want to. I recommend personally obfuscating the save load code by hand. I.e makig it as hard to read as possible.

i have model protection so they cant steal models

 

[madcd]

that doesn't work either... sorry.

Your base problem lies in that warcraft 3 still has to be able to read the map, therefore any MPQ browser based on Blizzards code can also read the mpq and all the data that you have in it.

Therefore making your save load code hard to read by hand means that even tho they can see it and take it, it won't make much sense.

 

[Upgrade]

it help for models ?

 

[madcd]

well warcraft II has to be able to read your models otherwise they won't be displayed in game, obviously.

Now any MPQ browser built on the same code as blizzards can also see your models and extract them for someone else to use. Thats why xgm.ru is so full of ripped models.

However I would still protect your map to stop noobs hacking your save/load system ^^

Oh thanks

Really the best protection is optimization. It will put your thousands of lines of code into a single long trigger filled with jumbled variable names and function names making it nearly impossible for anyone to edit unless they are insane or have 18 hours a day to strictly mess with your map.

 

[Upgrade]

so i should use that or ?

 

[madcd]

no luck there dreadnought, most JASS editors automatically parse the functions and variable and lay it out neatly for you.

BUt you should optomize for a smaller filesize if your map is trying to keep things tight, it'll knock 10-20% off total filesize depending on how many triggers you have.
