A couple general questions!

Im kind of getting into mapmaking and have a map underway but i feel embarressed to release my map without a few key parts. First of all how do you protect your maps? (I probably wont because i am against protected maps but i would like to know) Also for the preveiw screen (when people are joining) where can i change that? And last but not least can you guys make a tutorial for adding attachments because it seems to me to be a reoccuring problem for most beginners. Thank your and sorry if my topic is misplaced, i would rather have one topic than multiple. :D

map protectors. i believe vexorians wc3 map optimizer can. make a tga image 128x128 or 256x256 and import it into the map with the path of war3mapPreview.tga . and do you mean model attachments like putting something on a units hand etc.? anyway to do that you use the trigger
(Special Effect - Create special effect on "attachment point" unit using model "model"
points:
hand,left
hand,right
head
overhead
chest

replace "attachment point" with one of those points. and whala
