We do not allow these kinds of tools.

Please explain more about this, I still don't get you.

Edit: I don't think hacking maps is allowed. =/ If it is then this thing is awesome.

It is a russian program to unprotect maps. After this you have to recover the mpq.datas from the map with "mpq recovery" and then you have a unprotected map.
Seems to be a program to hijack maps, so I think it is a violating program. :/
But with newer maps and newer patch this triggers that are generated by this program are crashing the game/WE.
I think it should be rejected, imo.

Ahp, ahp, let's not be too finnicky now peeps.

Blizzard does actually say that Maps are not SUPPOSED to be protected. What do they have to hide?

Probably stealing ideas. I usually deprotect maps to get the name of a model and search it where did they get that, for references.

Ah, share it.

If a kid wants to see your work, what are they going to do? Start a company and market it?

By that age they don't view things that way, and sometimes these map making legends come from childhood thievery.

Still, I feel uncomfortable when I do not protect my maps...and I feel slightly guilty when I deprotect maps.

I do not .

Cool, does it work though?

I tried this program with some protected maps. Howewer, always get this error: "Fatal Error: Cannot open war3map.w3i"

xDep has been literally outdated and unsupported for over a decade at this point. You better use this one. It also supports Reforged, though:
