im sorry i readed that post but theres something that i dont understand about it and is the fact of the hex editor thing...
i didnt understand...

Bear in mind the location of it as well, because that has to remain constant throughout the editing or the map won't work. So edit the name to whatever you want and don't touch that little extra bit behind. Also make sure you delete the same amount of blank space. those 0 0s. So that the MPQ Header is still in the same location.

do you have a hex editor? O.o
it's a program like notepad
go download it and open the map with it
at the top (in the first circle), you can see the map name so change that to what you want
but make sure to delete/add enough zeros (where that massive wall of zeros are) so that the 2nd circled part starts at 512

If you turn on the "overwrite" function and never hit delete or backspace, you should be fine.

if you use undead's method, watch out of you're changing the name to something longer....incase you delete some stuff after it (like that random slash? o.o)
