Map Copy writes

Anyone know where to get a program that copy writes a SC map?

I had some **** in the B.net servers say sum random crap about my map and said

"im going to edit your map, just to piss on you"

=/

 

there are map protection programs available at www.creepcolony.com under downloads, but I am totally against map protection. it limits the creativity and improvability of a map.

 

damn.. cause im scared this dude will change my map... my hard work will be .. ya.. no one will belive its my map

 

Most people that say they will change somebody's map are too lazy to actually do it. Also, if they are insulting you, then they probably didn't like your map, which means they wouldn't actually want something they hate under their name. Or, they will change most of the map itself, and then it won't even matter, because he still wouldn't have stolen your actual map.

 

Just distribute your map now and they won't be able to take credit. Put it on some websites (like StarCraft.org) and then you can just point to your submission date.

You can also then demand credit for any adjustments people make to your map and if they disobey them you can just, again, point to your submission date.

 

ahh good idea!!

and its almost done.. any one wanna try n play it with me? lol

 

Right now? Sure, get on SC:BW East.

 

Allready there

 

im with map protection
it enables you to protect your hard work from some @-hole who'll just edit it and take credit for your work

 

VERY rarely is a map stolen. And VERY often map triggers are used to educate and create examples. I'd be willing to trade the few maps being stolen for the many new map-makers learning how to create even better maps.

 

but not my first flawless map! thou!

 

You could use Starforge to save the map so that it is secure from others who want to edit it.

 

when i open my map with other editors a few triggers get deleted.. and sum units.

 

Which editor do you use?

 

X-tra Editor

 

Im so on favor of map protection.
I mean, they can be stolen anyways, but no one takes THAT much trouble to steal a map everyone knows who did it.
If you want to leanr you just get an unprotection software, which sucks.
Anyways, if someone ever asks me how to do a trigger, I will happily tell em, Idc

 

yeah. but what if i wanna upgrade my map.. or make new versions? should i keep a second UN-protected copy? and when i make a new version i protect that one. and save it twist so i got my own unprotected copy??

WOW i answerd my own question im a dumb a$$

 

IF you ever do make a map protected, keep an unprotected version for yourself and for anybody who asks to see it. I'm fairly certain you can have their computer searched if a stupid copy comes out because of intellectual property laws... but I'm not sure.

For a map protection program, see iMaGiNe.'s list that is stickied.
