Error trying to open hacks

[Solus]

Can someone help me out? I have no idea what this error is. First time I tried opening a hack, this is what I got.

Open hacks, or open a hacked map? It looks to me like the map its protected.

Open the map using the hack

If the hack is already installed into the map, just play it normall in Warcraft, then try the hack to see if it works. The map seems to be protected. No need to deprotect it unless you want to edit something else.

So If I dled the hack, used it, it becomes installed and all I do is play the map now?

Can we please stop calling it the "hack"? Ok, that map is protected, it means World Editor can not open it.
So if you want the cheats in the map, you will have to use MPQMaster and JASSCraft. In order to cheat the
map, you have to enter the JASS codes from one of the cheat-packs into the maps .j file. Then save over
the old .j file, then play the map. If you want, I can do it for you.

So, what does this "cheat" then actually do? And does it work if someone esle hosted it and not the "cheated" version?

[Vegas]

The cheat will give you extra gold or lumber for example. for many other maps, it helps level your hero, give super abilities, and much more.

Whatever version the host uses, you will automatically download. when the host uses the same hacked version as you, then it will work.

General rule of thumb: If you have to download the map you already have, its not the same version, its been hacked in a different way, or edited, and yours will NOT work.

So basically, if I don't host the map that's hacked, it doesn't work?

Also, is there any way to aquire Max Darkdeeds score with these hacks?

Exactly. The cheats are ONLY IN the hacked version.
It's basically just a trigger in the map that when you type -lumber XXX,
it will give you lumber. And about the DD score, I doubt it. But there are
versions of DD on this site that will give you max/high DD score.
