Some of you might not have heard but I've been working on a new protection for SC maps. Although PROEdit is a great map protector, I like to keep up with the unprotectors and so I made uBeR@TiOn which takes protection to the next level.
Download Here! (http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=2596)
Make suggestions here! (http://lgcyfrms.superihost.com/uberate.php)
Current Version: 1.0.0.5
The map is REQUIRED to be protected by PROEdit before being uBeR@Te.
Read the readme!
There are ways to unprotect any protection and as PROEdit protection is slowly becoming known how to unprotect, I created this program to greater protect your maps.
This all started back when Clokr_ said something about not making more modifications on PROEdit. So I started to wonder how to greater protect maps. At first it was very simple, just delete this, delete that, bam better protected. I started experimenting and learning a bit about how other old versions of protection worked.
Clokr_ started his "secret project" and the release date is who knows when so for the time being, this program will be here to help you.
Clokr_, you are still cool man, I'm just helping you out ^^
I'm trying to help the entire mapmaking community.
Then I started learning VB to attempt to make a standalone trigger editor. Slowly learning how each section worked and how MpqCtl.ocx worked, I remembered this protection method and decided to make it.
Soon I thought about releasing my program. Should I actually release it? Would people yell at me? I talked to some of my testers and they all said to release it. It will help the community and nobody hates more map protection!
So I hope you enjoy this program!
Yes I know this program is very simple but I highly doubt I will be making any large addons to it.
Here is a release note about v1.0.0.5
After a couple hundred downloads, I have realized how long it would take for EVERYONE to update their version unless I made a news post for every major version I make. This will perhaps be the last of the major version news posts but there is a newer and better way to get updates!
Inspired by Suicidal Insanity's SCMDraft2, I learned that VB had internet capabilities. I soon programmed an "AutoUpdater" that would help you get the latest version in seconds! This is a huge add-on to the protection and how fast people can get their map protected with the latest! If protection were cracked just yesterday, I could update uBeR@TiOn hours and release the next protection method in days!
This is not the only major thing that I am posting about. Another large component of programs is user input and suggestions. So I was going to make a sort of website about uBeR@TiOn and why I made it and the latest version and troubleshooting. I realized there isn't much to talk about so this website would be worthless. Instead, I deleted my old forum (died way back then) and created a small page that would allow people to make suggestions and report bugs (again inspired by SI). This page is simple no doubt but will have a perhaps huge effect.
