You both don't understand me exactly.

I didn't restrict loading it in the JSWED. Do it. I just told you,
that it isn't recommended to do it before you finish the game
yourself. Exploring the unknown rooms is much more interesting. (I
took me one year to imagine all of them =)))

But, in fact, it is just an advice - do whatever you wish...

I was replying to Kari's comment, it was the first time I've seen
discussion of that topic (encryption-protection) since I mentioned it.

And yes, opening a well crafted game in the editor before you've
completed it is foolish. I've done it before and I can testify that it
spoils the fun. This is partly while I feel maps for JSW games can be
a bad thing if looked at prematurely.

Anyway - Congrats Igor on the completion of what sounds like a mammoth
project and an object of considerable beauty! Can't wait to be one of
the first to play it!

Sendy

p.s. I will be doing my pending releases soon but I'll probably wait
for the initial buzz of UMM to pass. ;)
