what the..

[XX_Noob]

okay vexorians map optimizer 4.6 optimize my map good and all that, about 460 kbs but theres just one thing that its not "protected" meaning people can open it in their editor and do whatever they want with it.. whats wrong?

 

[Bobo_The_Kodo]

Be more specific, what options did you choose?

 

[PurplePoot]

Vexorian's Optimizer only "protects" it if you use the set of options which say that they protect the map as a side effect.

-Moved to Warcraft Editing Tools, which is where this should be.

i set the options said in vexorians thread with the optimizer.. in the tools

ya sorry for wrong forum, dont really know where to post what..

 

[PurplePoot]

Did you use the protected file then? I've never had any problems of this sort with the optimizer, nor heard of them.

okay i got it working

btw: You do now we prefer none protected files on hive right? Although I am glad you got it working

 

[Em!]

Why do we prefer non protected files, if people prefer too protect them then thats there right to do so!, i don´t want my map ripped or my models used for another map, models i made specificly for this map and not the puplic. There is no rule or puplic preference on protected maps if the creator wishes too protect it.

Thats true, but there is a generally dislike of those. Due to it makes people unable to learn from them. Proctection that allows people see the map (trigger similar) is more liked.


Notice this Hive rule:
Protected maps. Maps created using third party software or altered by the use of map protection tools may be accepted. The author's description of such maps must clearly state that the map has been protected. Protected maps that lack these warnings in their descriptions will be ignored
