The new tool is called üBeR@TiOn and it goes by the name of its author. It is newest protection tool for map makers. For those who do not know already, map protection tries to prevent users from editing maps, so they cannot "steal" (replacing the original authors name with their own), changing the map so it is easier to win, or anything else which the original map author did not intend to be changed.
Map protection tools are used by most map makers and are criticized by some. Setting aside the opinions of those pro-protection and those against it, where you will hear similar arguments as used by open source v copyright supporters, the ultimate goal, whether intended or not, is to protect the reputation of the map maker and preserve authorship.
This tool features a string editor, map compression, CUWP Slot Editor, Player Colors Editor, IEP (Importer/Exporter similar to SCMIE), and Protection, which is more updated and innovative then its predecessor, Proedit. It features more recent protection techniques and is more actively being updated then Proedit. New bugs were discovered and the program creator has released v2.0.0.4.
As a map and UMS maker I for one recommend it and we at SEN will support it by offering it for download for use by anyone interested in the Starcraft community.
