Hi, does anyone here have experience uploading the map to China? We encountered some technical difficulties with the editor while our China counterpart was trying to upload the map. Any help would really be appreciated.
Hi, thanks for all the help. So upload success and all. But now here comes the big issue. Apparently bank hacking is the bomb in China. So we did some preventive measures on our hand and now they are threatening that they will upload a hacked version of our map. Anyone knows how to deal with these people? Through blizzard, if they even care?
Note: They have pirated our map through some measures and uploaded it once before in the past, but since they dont have the dependencies it didnt fully work for them i guess.
Sup Muha! The thing is hacking and piracy is pretty taken as the norm there so they don't see any issues about it. In fact they might be the majority. Which is why i wanted to ask if the dev reports to Blizzard will they do anything or just ignore?
As you noted, culturally it is seen as normal and par for the course. Funky's suggestion is basically the correct one. As Gabe Newell once said "Piracy is not an economic problem, it is a service problem". Your best options is to interact with the community, update as frequently as you can, be active.
Although this is not likely to be the case, but you can always design a map so complex that it would take a fair amount of time to figure how things work.
Alternatively, design the game in such a way that bank hacking provides little to no reward (This is difficult of course, but possible).
Hmm i feel that we are being as active as we can(limitations due to unable to go into China server) on their forums and updates are on par with our version on NA. It feels that a certain group(allegedly the ones who hacked/stole the map initially) is doing it on purpose based on what our representative is finding out in the China server.
Ah well can't always expect things to go the way we would like.
Well they aren't releasing the hacked map to complete with us, they are releasing a hacked map to get all unlocks from what i have been informed.
Hi, how bout you be less subtle and please tell me which part am i trying to be funny. If you are talking about obfuscating the map / design the map/bank to be more complex, i have passed the word to the dev. If you are talking about interacting with the community, we are doing it frequently as we can likewise for updates. So please tell me what else am i ignoring. I honestly would love to ignore them and just leave them be but if that is the case i wouldn't be asking for help or advice here.
Maybe i should be clearer. What i wanted to ask is if we can get Blizzard to take down the all unlocks hacked map first while we work on our end because its not doing other fair players a favor. Its not a we losing popularity to a stolen map shit how we can stop it.
Wow, ok. The title Urgent help needed was used for my original question in which you also gave a suggestion im thankful for. If you feel that im brushing the suggestions away and not accepting them, then im sorry im just trying to probe for more opinions. Sigh, I don't understand why it has to escalate to something so complicated about evidence and trust.
If i come across as self entitled i apologise for my tone then, but i don't believe i came out sounding like i demanded or am forcing an answer that everyone must reply to even for my original question.
You can honestly choose not to help me or give additional advice and ignore me and i won't fault you for that, that is really your choice. But if you feel offended, i sincerely apologise then.
"did you notice ? Not one head mapster honcho answered your pleas?"
I don't really know about whether its a head mapster honcho who answers me matters. Just because its not one who answered me doesn't mean their answers value less. They may have just come across a similar situation or just throwing up a suggestion.
Please don't misunderstand that im asking for any technical solution or coding from anyone here. I am not asking for that, i am just asking if its possible that Blizzard would respond to take down that all unlock map to stop the bleeding while the dev team could work on a countermeasure.
If anyone else here who came into this thread and went away feeling offended, i extend my apologies as well.

I think you need to find a local person to loaden for you. But not sure if that has changed with LotV.

yes, we are having a local upload it. But once the map opens on their editor it gives issues that we do not have on our editor.
no no no

popularity, keep updating your map and it will be more popluar than the hacked buggy version. obfuscate your script and report hacked maps.

@DeusExUAC: Go
since all of my maps suck and dont get hacked i can't tell, but i guess they will ignore.
Hah i beg to differ, i will always support you Muha. Ah well i guess that is to be expected from Blizzard...
Bank hacking at this time can not be prevented.

Though I can't speak for everyone, I can't imagine someone else was.
Must spam
Somehow this thread turned into a bizarre argument? *gets popcorn*

I've tried several times to upload to China over the course of several months, but I've always been unable to do so.
