Some people are reporting that blizzard is handing out temporary bans for using the EUDenabler on battle.net.

I guess I should of warned you all. Oh wait, thats right, I did (when I decided to remove it from the site and not allow anymore research to continue here), 4 news posts down:

As I said, EUD died with patch 1.13b. There are still EUD conditions, which is totally safe and permitted for exploration here. Since EUD conditions are only detection, and not action, and were not patched.

I'm not suprised.
The only thing I'm suprised about is them not cracking down on Heimdal.

keyword: some.

Not a surprise though.

The moral here being use it at your own risk, Ultimo...

I just logged on b.net to see if I was banned or not. Looks like they're biding their time...

I think this is a pretty silly move on Blizzard's part, but I understand why they did it. They don't want the responsibility in case a virus gets loose via UMS maps.

I would've been using it too, had it not crashed my computer when I first tried it.

I guess blizzard don't like players using EUD. But really don't say nothing about modding just EUD what the differents, both modding / EUD can edit sc memory. Ya well another blow to mapping community. I guess use program at your own risk. But was nice little run while it lasted.

I think you are all focusing on the negative, conditions can still be done, detecting things like text in game, and other cool stuff!

At least they didn't patch conditions right!?
There is still alot to explore, don't get bummed because of this.

well i don't blame blizzard lol....

Is it temporary or forever?

Just wondering, who has been banned, and for how long?
And, how would Blizzard know who's using the program?

Thats what I was curious about. Who has 'reported' getting banned? :/

MrrLL for one.

harharhar!

Good Job Blizzard. Im on your side since i got this new comp

But im not anyones enemy...

I would never use hacks or any other content that is likely to differ the game online to abuse any of Blizzards games. Just let EUD go ppls. EUD was just like a prize for abit for all you map makers. Now its gone, you cant get urself a copy of this prize....who cares.

Bye

Argh... things I said a long time ago came true. I say, "could a virus be transmitted over an SC map?" "could terrain be modded ingame?" and... it appears both are possible, though I was ridiculed for saying those things, lol.

Anyways, I don't want EUDs for A. I could get a virus, B. It excludes Mac players, C. It doesen't really improve my map, it just makers it cooler.

If you're creative it can help your maps A LOT, and not just make it cooler.

Well, there you have it. Blizzard has taken action, as some of us have predicted. But I am not overjoyed at this new development. This is a rather harsh and ridiculous action taken by Blizzard. But I also respect their action, because it is their game, and they should do whatever they feel they should do to keep the map making community safe. But everyone who used this program knew exactly what risks they were taking when they used this program. I am surprised they did not ban me too, for I also had been using it, and quite frequently until a week ago when Yoshi took off EUDEnabler from his site.

While there was much potential in EUD mapping with EUD actions, I am afraid that Blizzard has taken them out for a reason, whether they wish to tell us is their prerogative. We think it would be possible to transmit a virus through EUD maps and EUD technology. It would also crash or drop MAC players in certain maps, if not labeled properly. But the point is EUD Actions are gone, and Blizzard seems to want us to stay away for a reason. I suggest we do that. If Blizzard continues with this banning of light EUDEnabler users, we could in theory, all get banned for using it once, for they probably know how to detect this, even if it is a third party program that causes little change in actual gameplay, only in map making (like SCXE, et al.).

And Yoshi reaches a new level of immature 5 yearold.

It's not. People were crying when I removed it, saying blizzard wasn't going to do anything, and there was no risk. It's a bit of sarcasim for those people who wouldn't let go.

ADDITION:
Well, to think about it, Blizzard might not actually be handing out temporary bans on purpose. It could be randomly reading the EUDenabler as a hack by accident. The methods of detection I do not know (and we will likely never know).

ALOT of people said that it was a risk, and that you did warn them. I warned them. Heimdal warned them. Even Sir_Fela_the_Wise warned us that we all knew of the consequences we would suffer. And we also said Blizzard could always do something. It would just be UNLIKELY if they did. Do not yell at Yoshi, he as a leader of a community must also look out for his community, regardless of how bad an apple they are. Don't call him immature if you do not fully understand his actions and his reason. As far as I know, only Yoshi fully aware of what he did, and only Blizzard knows what and why they did. The best we can do is respect their decision and move on.

You have missinterpreted my actions. I fully understand why he is not allowing it on this site (so i guess i can call him immature right?) but thats not my point.

I'm refering to this news post about a rumor going around, and then going "I told you so" like he has been proven correct. If nothing else Yoshi is starting this rumor by making a news post about it. I like yoshi, he is a swell kinda guy, but don't ever think i'm going to bow down to him before having an opionion of my own.

when he said "i told ya so"he was refering to "blizzard cracking down on those who use it"

That's exactly what Bolt_head was talking about. The "rumor" is that Blizzard is banning people for using EUDEnabler. I think it's likely, but I think they might have had to do something exceptional to get banned for it (like playing lots of games where people were dropping or crashing).

I think the bad thing about this is it sets a precedent. I was planning on making other programs similar to EUDEnabler (an automodder among them). If Blizzard is going to ban people for using them, I'm not sure if it's worth it. I think I'll still do it, even if just to learn something. A week ago I was a complete n00b with all this code injection and assembly stuff.

I'm glad Blizzard is cracking down on people who use EUDenabler, even if we aren't 100% sure that's the reason. I still doubt Blizzard is banning people who use EUDenabler.

People, get over EUD's, EUD's died in patch 1.13b as been said before. If you love EUD's so much, quit bnet and go play on a private server, or just don't play Starcraft at all. It's not like we've been playing with EUD's for years.
