Hello ! I am new to the forum and I am learning little by little since the guides are in English and I am a Spanish speaker, but I still understand reading English but it is difficult for me to speak it, but the guides are easy to understand English, only the steps to It is difficult for me to continue, but I am writing this topic to learn more about how to unprotect maps, since there are many abandoned maps in EpicWar and I would like to start seeing the codes of the other maps to study more how they were programmed in GUI and JASS.
If you have any method on how to unprotect maps that is not written in this forum, could you give me a guide?
I am 34 years old and I have been playing WC3 1.27b with friends on my PVPGN server for almost 2 years, but now we are looking at developing maps and/or improving maps that are already open.
Thank you Vegas

I just wanted to deprotect warcraft 3 Dota 1 map from 15-20 years ago and use it only for singleplayer use, but it just doesn't work.

If you want to deprotect a map, there are some simple ways to do this that don't require much work. First, I don't advise doing this to complicated maps with lots of models\triggers. Models and triggers cannot be recovered if the deprotection is good. First, download MpqEditor, Nathonmaxy's deprotect, and the wc3 map you wish to deprot. The first two are located at the bottom of the post. Look on epicwar for the third.

Nathonmaxy's deprotect does not work in win 10, am I correct?
