Well, this is more of a joke, than anything, but it does reveal to the world how poorly put together OSMAP is. I made this map entirely in Staredit, and made no other changes with any editors to it. It is also fully playable in all starcraft games.

EDIT:

Well, as long as I'm around, Osmap is going to keep getting new versions

Is this even protected? I couldnt open it with OSMap but I could with starforge

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-09-10 at 10:04:08

Its not protected, therefore someone wanting access to the map wouldn't need osmap.

open it with starforge... WOW... (u might want to protect it so NONE can open them hehe...lol)

Its not protected. It doesnt need to be. THis would basically makeit imposibble to unprotect any melee maps using OSMAP.

More people dont have OSMap than do tho

I don't understand what you mean with this... why would we use OSMAP if the map is already not protected ?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Carlsagan43 on 2006-09-11 at 17:25:05

IDk. Im just finding bugs with it. Maybe you want to protect a melee map? It would only really work there.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Red2Blue on 2006-09-11 at 19:01:31

This map was just to show how glitchy and sloppily OSMap was written.
Im guessing we can build off this map and possiblly protect it and create a method to avoid OSMap.

As long as LW updates OSMAP and nobody bothers to make a counterprotection method, open source mapping will definately exist.

Ultimately though, the majority doesn't care.

I wish i knew programming so i could make a counter-osmap. But i dont have the time to learn it. SC is a hobby, and ive got school and a job, plus id need to read even more books to learn how to make a counter program. Added on that i have no idea about how current protections and unprotections work.

LegacyWeapon should be banned, anti-osmap ideas are no longer safe on SeN

I agree but there is nothing we can do. Moose, in all his 2 foot tall wisdom has made his decision.

Do you really think that if I banned him nothing would ever reach him? He just has to VIEW the topic, he doesn't even have to log in. Actually, HE doesn't even have to view the topic, he can send someone else in.

Aint it the truth. Damn them internet companies and not having better Dynamic IPs

And to add, what proof do you have that its not just that dumb hacker on his name to begin with. (Ya know im just makin sure)

He said on bnet that he made it.

Banning him really isn't necessary, most people on SEN don't like him now anyways because of what he did.

So what did you actually do to that map, if it's going to be patched, anyways?

If you know LegacyWeapon is on the website, why would you post your methods on SEN? Did you want it to get patched?

The good methods are still private, and IM not going to release them. I have already fully tested them, but I dont plan on making maps anytime soon. I dont care if he fixes this. He cant fix everything.

um... who made OSMAP?? whomever did is a big idiot. Why would you want to make something to unprotect maps, You aren't a good mapper than. You unprotect maps and steal ideas from others. I heard rumors Kenoli made it oops wait it was legacyweapon.. still a U member, and im like WTF cant be him hes a good mapper why would he make something to allow other ppl unprotect his own maps and allow ppl to steal his maps. Something doesn't make sense here. If you want uber protection, DONT MAKE A MAP UNPROTECTOR. simple as that.

Of course everyone has their own opinion about whether we should have protection or not, unprotection or not. But we all know that there will always be those who want to protect their rights to "ownership". As CaptainWill so nicely stated:

There will always be protection. And there will always be unprotection. But seeing the map making community today, I see people hiding their knowledge of mapping. I see people losing interest. What is wrong with people? I figured that if I could get them all to see how their predecessors made their maps, I could encourage them to use old techniques to make new ideas.

Many people will tell me:

My map is going to get stolen!
That is inevitable. There have always been map thieves and there always will be. Protection may be a deterrent to theft but is it really worth hiding all your knowledge contained within a map to get some fame with those Battle.net "pubbies". Of course not! As long as SEN exists, people will be known for the great maps they make.

There will be billions of versions of my map!
Yes there will. But does downloading take that long? Not with the newest, faster connections of today. If someone makes a revision on your map that makes people like it more and play it more, is that not to your benefit?
