Thats simply the truth.

Small community = catching map-stealing tards is super easy.

Yea, should be in my eyes, when I find a modified copy of my map somewhere in the internet.

But I don't care of map-stealers.

Ryu was mentioning that the Ren community is larger than just a "small community". It's like Medium- to Somewhat large-sized community.

I dont know of any protection that would actually work.

a file to include in your mix so if the program see's it...?

I think you need to look at EVERY POST in this thread.

Anything and everything is easily bypassed in this situation because we can't change the way renegade reads maps. What you just said could be removed with RenegadeEx in 3 seconds, it wouldn't even require hexediting.

Again, I'm not saying that this should be made impossible (I know it's impossible to make it impossible!), but saying that this shouldn't made easier. Doesn't matter about the other ways.

To protect your map from being converted back to a LevelEdit level, place a light anywhere on your map and set it's ambient color to RGB(51,102,153).
I do not plan to implement more protection in the converter itself. Maybe or maybe not I'll code a map protector later.

That protection kind of sucks, especially for older maps.

There is no way I can implement a protection in the converter which protects _some_ of the older maps.

Protecting maps is so un-needed and useless, why is that so hard to see? Sarcasm

Thanks for making tools for this community Yrr.

Maybe after this, you can tackle the object.ddb's and make a editor that does not require a device reset after every change?
