Anyone Know DotA Protection Method?

Post by Lord-Of-Shadows »

Im going to need to protect this next map I release against hackers using Deprotect, X-Dep ect. I usually use Vex's Map Optimizer, but that alone seems weak these days. Anyone know what DotA Allstars uses to protect it, I really need to keep this map as unopenable as possible. Im thinking of using some protection methods such as changing the map header size ect. Some tools im also considering using is Wigitizer and SLKOptimizer, also is heavylocker or exprotect any good? Also if anyone can tell me what programs can be used together and what cant be it would be a big help.

Widgetizer and Vexorian's Optimizer work great together.

Who cares about deprotection?
Just make anti cheats and obfuscate the jass.
Gets rid of most rookies.

Or you could ask a super mod/admin ?
I know some of them can make a nasty anti cheat.

Yeah im not concerned about cheats, its not that type of game anyways that resources matter. Its a Battle For Middle Earth. But I would like to make the map unopenable for MPQ editors, deprotect, and x-dep, and mpq recover crashing with deep mpq scanning checked. There would be many people who use x-dep trying to open this map once it's released and Id like some other clever protection methods if anyone has them, u can private message me if you would prefer not to post thanks. By the way, can anyone tell me how to change the map header size with the XVI32 Hex Editor and what other crazy things or protections that i can do with it? Also along with that is their anyway to have a protection like this Vampirism map? Thanks Very much guys!

Who actually uses MPQ Recover?

RMPQEx is infinitely better.

Lucky for us, the few ways of actually stopping rmpqex from opening a map are private. ;)
