Staredit Network

I have decided to go ahead and release my unprotected maps. All my maps are at least a year old and several people have expressed opinions that they would like to see the unprotected versions. Most of them are pretty old and they don’t really reflect the way I would make them now.

By downloading these maps you agree to NOT play the unprotected versions or distribute them to anyone else.

• The Rock Completed: 7-18-2001
  [attachmentid=4944] Download Official Version Here!
  This is the second map I ever completed. It became very popular in its time and I was admitted into clan (U) because of it.
  
  
• Break Out Completed: 8-20-2001
  [attachmentid=4989] Download Official Version Here
  This is the third map I finished. Although it never became popular it is my favorite.
  PS. The unprotected version has my name changed in several spots when (U)'s original leader abandoned the clan. Also check out the (U) Bar, when you die.
  
  
• House of the Haunted Completed: 7-7-2003
  [attachmentid=4945] Download Official Version Here!
  I'm known best for the creation of this map. 6 months passed between the time i started it, and finished the first public version. Another 5 months until the last version was released. If you have version 1.0 or 1.1 you are a rarity.
  
  
• Reflector Completed: 10-5-2003
  [attachmentid=4947] Download Official Version Here!
  I rushed the production of Reflector because it was made for the soul purpose of a mapmaking contest at battleforums.com. It was completed in 5 days (by far my shortest production time). Because of that the triggers are quite a mess and I’m very disappointed with it. In spite of the harsh feedback I got when it was first released, and my sloppiness, several people have taken to it and like it.
  
  
• Time Up Bound Completed: 2-3-2004
  [attachmentid=4950] Download Official Version Here!
  This map actually was in production for 6 months (on and off). The terrain was completed using SCMDraftONE before Starforge or SCMDraft 2 came out (how’s that for extended terrain?). However starforge was released after I completed the terrain but long before I completed the map. I have always considered this to be the most trigger intensive bound ever made. If you want to see a unique way of making a bound look at this. (Most of the repetitive triggers were created using a macro to save time, so it was actually faster doing it this way)

[center]Concept Maps[/center]

• Crazy (Interceptors) Compleated: 2-1-2003
  [attachmentid=6037]I randomly got an idea to do this once while i was thinking about how interceptors fly back to the carrier when there moved away from them. I thought "wonder what it would be like if I just kept moving the carrier around so the interceptor never reached it". So yeah i thought it was a crazy idea but it was cool so I named this map "Crazy"
  
  
• Fighter Jet aka "Amazing Trigger" Completed: 4-23-2004
  [attachmentid=6038]This is an expansion on my "Cool Trigger" Concept map (grid system). When a few people proved that they were able to mimic the triggers i felt it was time to create something new that no one else knew how to do. This is my most Top Secret map (unless you count that other one), and this is the first time I have ever given the unprotected version away. I have only personally shown this to about a few dozen people because I didn't want anyone to know about it. But like everything it spread to several mapmakers.
  
  
• Coordinates Completed: 5-2-2004
   Coordinates2.scx ( 41.02k ) Number of downloads: 60
  I made this map to show a really cool way of moving a location to any place on a map without the assistance of units. I later incorporated the system into my 'Space Invaders' map (never completed).
  
  
• That One Bound aka The One Location Bound Completed: 8-4-2003
  One Location Bound in DLDB
  This is actually my second One Location bound but the first only had one level and it was intended to be impossible as part of a joke. The harder part about this was i had to devise a way to advance though the levels while still using the one location for all the explosions. If you look carefully at the triggers you will realize that the location not only creates the units and kills everything but it is the same location centered on the players zergling. Another neat fact is the explosion’s color is randomized for each spot. This map was never technically finished, it is a concept map because i wasn't trying to make a fun map.

PS. If you look at my maps, I would like to hear your comments
PSS. If you would like to see any other Maps i have made unprotected tell me and I’ll add it to the list.

NOTE FROM YOSHI: If you wish to edit any of these maps and make a new version, please contact bolt head first. No maps will be admitted into our downloads database unless bolt head tells me its okay. If we find that you remove credit to bolt head on his map (which would be pretty stupid, seeing how everyone knows he made it), and you submit it to our downloads database, you will be banned. Thank you.

You've just made the maps public, why would it matter of people gave them to their friends or used them in starcraft to play games? It would be no different from linking people to this topic.

How about you post the "Gunship" trigger map

Do you have any .scm map?

Why? Don't you have broodwar?

a man with out brood war, is a man without balls.

Exactly, I haven't BroodWar, because they are broken.

Some guy here, should give me one xD

Because thats the terms that i want. There is a very good reasons for them, but incase anyone wants to know here it is.

The primary reason i don't want the maps played is playing the unprotected versions spreads the map more. I only released these to allow people to veiw the triggers and all that junk if they desire. If there playing the map then people downloading it might continue to play that and thus end up spreading the unprotected map to the general gamer.

Why do I not want this if i'm publicly releasing the maps? you ask.
1. Because an extra copy of the map makes for extra downloads. If a group of people want to play one of my maps I don't want the people who already have the map to have to download another copy of it. This is one of the primary reasons for protecting it, to prevent extra downloading.
2. The maps do not have the proper player colors since there unprotected. And also they have there force names changed. If some one is going to play one of my maps I would rather them play the official version, or not play at all.

Honestly i don't care much about people giving them to there friends, if there friend wants to look at it in the editor. But to make things simpler, I simply said not to distribute them because if your hosting the map then your alot more likely to play it.

Swap: Gunship? Are you talking about that sample "Rocket" map with the interceptors and corsair?

I am excited to see some of your work i am currnetly downloading....All of them

But, I will only look at them to see your concepts and the way "you" make "your" maps.

I could care less to play them with the public online because most of the people that play the B.net games that are popular are incompetent and don't like to play the more complex maps. (referring to the ones you made/make)

Finally bolt releases unprotected maps..it's amazing..

Bolt, add BreakOut. Although I probably have it somewhere unprotected, im too lazy to find it.

Ok Added Break Out

And thanks for the little note Yoshi (just saw that)

I believe anyone can access these downloads - which means it still can wind up on B.net


Well, what about a female that doesn't have broodwar?

Hmm I thought Reflector was always unprotected. The version I got off Battle.net was at least.

Oh man I remember playing Break Out awhile back. That was my favorite map, too. I had no idea you made that one. Awesome possum. Well time to study BoltTriggers.

HOLY CRAP REALLY?

. . .

How stupid do you think I am?



Doesn't surprize me.

Now I can see how the mind of a genius works.

...or atleast how the mind of a guy with a lot of free time works...

True. But if Bolt wants to release his maps unprotected, the least I can do is assure him that his maps will not reappear on this website as stolen.

I think your so as stupid as Albert Einstein was (In case you don't know, it was said that Albert Einstein had a IQ of over 150! )


And I would expect something similar from the DLDB keepers and/or the admin.

I'm not that smart (guess that means i have alot of time on my hands). Although I've never really had an IQ test other than a little one at some girly website. I think it said i was 123 or something. Pesonaly i think its the creative mind that matters most, creativity goes alot further than good ideas.

So yeah, if you guys want to ask about something, make fun of my triggers, worship my greatness, go ahead feel free to.

To me, it's an interesting way of sharing your knowledge expertise in map making. Just not to mention a trip far back into the ol' days...

Alas many retard folks around the Net steal the hard work and don't give the authors it's due credit.
Thus the protection tools began to pop up. When releasing a map I always have it protected. But can tell/show anyone who asks me how a certain part was made, if asked nicely.

Initially, I did the same as you did (just now). That 'till the time I saw a couple of ripped off maps over the Net (knew the originals). Never the less, it's your choice and we have to respect it.

Yeah dont go off what a website says. Because if those were true then my IQ would be over 150. And I'm sure everyone can tell it's not.

If that was meant for me... I already knew that. And btw, didn't said (n' saw) anything like it, so please stop putting words in my mouth.

Ya, chuis right. I took a test to see when I would die - and it said I was supposed to of died 2000 years ago! And then a friend took it, and it said his main cause of death would be life - and he would live for another 3000 years!

And so those "balless" people can solve their problems by buying "broodwar," therefore buying "balls?"


Now it's tuxedo's turn

Jk


Bolt is a very busy man. He goes off to many college parties and does all sorts of crazy junk... i think


U know, albert Einstein failed Highschool because he asked too many questions the teachers got sick of trying to answer because they didn't know.


I can see that you're kind of sick from all the adulation you're getting...

Wanna share some of that excess adulation amongst us all
