Help using mpqcontrol

My question is can I compare encrypted data and replace it? If not is  there a way to decrypt the information when it's recieved?

What encrypted data...

Of course you can compare and replace encrypted data. Data is just data, encrypted or not. It may take you a while to figure out what to compare for and what to replace with though.

And yes, of course there is a way to decrypt information when it's received.

The information that my program calls from mpqcontrol is encrypted before being sent to me. I could use stormlib but I dont know C++.

Like I said patching the editor would render all of the map locking routines futile thus fixing your problem for every future map protector, you just need to find out how the protector malforms the map somehow so that the editor cannot read it which  shouldn't be to hard to do via dissasembly but patching the editor might violate something blizzard like so once again this is just an educated guess.

The other problem is that if Blizzard decides to patch Starcraft, you could end up having to reinstall the game if you're not smart.
