Beating Map Protection
PDF Tutorial by DSalimander
06/02/13

About:
This is a PDF tutorial (with hires images) on how to get past map protection and extract (AKA rip) originally unobtainable, protected tags. This covers how to completely bypass both types of protection (HEK+ and .ZTPT). I made this tutorial because, after a quick search one day, I couldn't really find any decent ones. All the applications/programs/tools used in the tutorial are available for download on Halomaps.org except for Halo Hacker Tools (HHT).

Here's the download, pending Dennis to upload it to Halomaps:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/c2mr7wcn7jl4z79/Beating_Map_Protection.pdf

Here is a quick list of the download links to them:

HEKplus (HEK+) and Plugins versions as of 12-02-05
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1541

Eternal Lightning
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5601

Halo map Version Converter
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1082

Halo Hacker Tools Version 5.0

Thanks Kirby, for suggesting HHT to fix ZTPT.

Good work, hopefully people can now get whatever they want from older protected maps. Does anyone even protect their tags anymore?

I haven't seen a protected map release in a long time

this'll make it easier to get retro ce tags though

Then why is it SO FKING DIFFICULT for me to find an unprotected map with the CMT spv3 needler animations? Well, then again, I guess I don't exactly need an unprotected map anymore.

You can get spv3 needler animations from the map files. CMT released the passwords to both the .map and .yelo so you can rip it like normal.
