Hi, I recently got in contact witht he maker of Poker Defense and he can't work on the map anymore because he doesn't know hoe to work witht he raw code and not with the easy to work with Triggers, so how do you convert them back?
I played his newest game with him today, GridFall, I noticed I was talking to SyCo, the maker of Poker Defense. I asked him why he stopped working on poker defense and he replied that the map is broken since his computer crashed. He re-downloaded the map from b.net and tried to edit the triggers, but they were straight up code and not easy to use map triggers.
He "isn't just handing me the map" because I'm not working on it at all, nor do I intend to, I just wanted to help out since it seemed like he wanted to work on poker defense but it was broken and he didn't know how to keep working on it. I don't have access to the file he just skype screen shared me so I could see. I then made a forum topic while testing his new map with him because I wanted to know if it was able to fix so I could then tell him.
If I was a hacker I think I'd be able to handle code and wouldn't have a problem with it, and also, whats the point in stealing an SC2 map? You make no money off of it and you can't feel good and say "I made that" to yourself because you didn't
Protip: Use Dropbox to store your maps. That way you can edit them from anywhere and there will always be a few versions automatically backed up. Doesn't help you now, I know, but... you know... posterity and all...
As far as editing your map, learn Galaxy Script or you are SOL, I'm afraid. Maybe you can find someone at SC2Mapster who would be willing to reconstruct it for you.

@PillowFort: Go
you cannot. reverse engineering needed.
Am i hearing this correctly that the original map maker doesn't know how he made his own map?
I find this hard to believe since i talk to him on almost a daily basis on mapmaking.
Also why isn't he just handing you the map file?
Sounds like another hacker wanting credit again for something that isn't his.

PillowFort is telling the truth..... He was simply asking for me is all.
