I found this: Link: warcraft3 mapping (http://www.elilz.com/searchres.php?searchq=protect&Search=Search) when i was looking in this other website.. .....You may have heard of it ! http://www.google.com (www.google.com)

Q: How do I protect (lock) my map so other people can't edit it?
# A: Import a file (can be blank) into your map.
# Double click on the file.
# Check "Use custom path".
# Change the path to "war3map.wtg".
# Save your map.

Keep in mind that you will be unable to edit your own map. If you open the map in an MPQ editor and delete the bad "war3map.wtg" file you will be able to open it in the World Editor again. However the GUI triggers will be gone permanently.

There are several similar techniques that can also be used. In all cases the JASS version of the triggers can be retreived. See this page for details: http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=FAQ

Protecting a WC3 map is all well and good, but I'd like to see how Dota and Icetroll tribes work, and I'd like to know how to UNprotect it if somebody else edited it?
