[General] Unprotection

[Vinz]

Is there a way to unprotect maps?

 

[DESTROYER123]

It's illegal.
They are protected for some reason.
Not to open them

However because people might unprotect maps for good reasons there are a lod of videos in yotobe (youtube)

neo_sluf lost all his maps.

Yes, maps can be unprotected. All GUI-triggers will be converted to JASS, though.
Neo_sluf can message me with the protected version of map he lost.

 

[Vinz]

Great! Thanks.

Not everything is reversible. Protected maps are readable by the game but may discard information about the development. For example the identifiers of variables, triggers, imports and such can be obfuscated, so you get a hard time making sense of them.

For simplication and community reasons, Blizzard created one format for both development and the game. The data of my map project is imported from external resources, which is why the game file itself is somewhat protected with each build and it does not matter when I lose/corrupt it.

Discussions concerning Map Deprotection are prohibited.
However, should a user have protected his own maps and doesn't have the unprotected versions anymore, he may contact users who can aid him, such as ap0calypse.
