Edit: Actually took a minute and 24 seconds

Also a PM isn't required. You can use this plugin to remove the entities that are making the map "protected" https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=74680 OR there is a plugin around here that you can edit to do the same exact thing and "require" that plugin to be used, although any user can do the same.

Yes, you get the map to run or let's say "open" but what you have done is just nothing because you didn't even get the actual map content (because what you have done is literally deleting it's content and adding up spawns/light instead of getting the actual content) which is absurd. (unless you are willing to rebuild it yourself)
Compare this to the screenshot that you posted https://imgur.com/a/qGnfdL0
also wad files are texture files, it has nothing to do with showing entities of the maps or not.
