ok im completly against map protection sence every person ive seen(but 1) has left there map glitch rigged(even after becoming pro it still rigged)and im starting 2 hate it bad

id fix it but......need i say it

I support it all the way. Mappers deserve credit for their creations.

Mapmakers deserve the choice of allowing their maps to be revealed to the public or not.

The thing is, without it people will go into the map, change 1 insignificant thing, then say they made the map and then people continue doing it until there are hundreds of versions with something like 75 'creators' of it.

this is what i mea!

so everyone else who DOSN"T steal maps gets look down upon by other ppl because of these noobs

I don't like stolen maps, so I support it all the way

Well, if you're interested in fixing bugs in maps, then perhaps you should talk to UED77...

Uh, most pro made maps aren't rigged.



So you're saying that people look down on me because people steal credit for my maps, so I protect them to stop the theivery?

Ooooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaay.

And if you hate it so much, learn how to read Hexidecimal and go in and unprotect it, and "Fix" it yourself you baby.

It is such a problem to you then PM me maps you think that should be fixed and MRS will look them over and probably fix them if map creators won't be reachable.

If the map sucks there's no point 'fixing' it anyway, just make a better one from scratch, it's fun, quick, and you can claim rights on it since you made it all by yourself.

I'll demonstrate with this poll;
The poll will be compared to a map, and the fact that I don't have admin powers will be compared to the protection on the map.

- Do you support map protection?
() Yes, I support it. [15] |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
() No, I don't support it. [0] |
() I don't care about map protection. [0] |

See? I did not open the original poll and 'fix' it, instead, I made my own version from scratch that way I believe it should be. It was easy, enjoyable, and took me a very little time.

i support map protecting.
wat i do is save a un protected copy for me in some other folder and then protect the one which im gona send out and if that has a glitch i jus open the one in the other folder and fix it ez as that.

I believe everybody does that.

I personally never protect anything I make. If you find a bug or want to improve something, just go for it.

Lately I've been focusing on original maps, but I used to specialize in versions of existing maps. I would only do it for a map that I had played several times and had seen room for improvement in. After that, it was a matter of adjusting for balance and adding new features that would improve gameplay without altering its nature and throwing off players of earlier versions. As a general rule, all original credits were maintained. There were a couple of maps where I put my name in in addition to that of the original creator, but only when the gameplay had been changed so radically, and with so much work, that from a player's point of view it would be more like a new map than a version of the old one.

so... it looks like the guy who started this topic didn know it so i said it

The guy's name is "Master-kenobi" , what did you expect of him....

any1 who has tried to find the original creator of the ORIGINAL matrix bullet time map, (like me) would support this, and incase u didnt know, they had about 100 diff matrix bullet times, i remember everytime i joined a game i would have to dl it all over again cuz its a diff ver and they would call me noob and ban me...

u dont need tons of diff vers of the same map floating around...
i support it...

and your name is DEAD, I prefer his

Another "Star-Wars" dude....

Just because i can speak huttese, and have a fondness for kenobi doesn't mean I'm a "StarWars Dude"

I meant "Master-kenobi" not you ...

yes so that n00bs cant give themself credits and rig it. if you need bugs fixed, WHIPSER THE MAP CREATOR or unprotect it yourself

just so you guys know, i asked him about this map that he wants to unprotect, told him about the MRS, and he said that he wants us to fix it.

NAME:
Evangeline angel assault

PROBLEMS:
-Invincible probe rigs team

thats all i got out of him before he went back to trying to open it (this happened on battle.net)

Never heard of that map. Can you get it out of him somehow? Then PM it to me and we will look it over at our meeting saturday.

he also said something about a dropship healing thing... ill PM you the map now. its protected though.
