What do people do when they download maps? (and i originally meant dwlds on mapster but hey. download from "open" maps in editor too)
do people just play them.. do they use them as template to make other maps or to understand how to do stuff...?
my only view on this is some dude or dudette took my "Lost goldrush" melee map to add mass void rays for player 1 .. (kinda useless and bm from my pov but hey.. to each his/her own)...
i'm curious what u guys think/know on the matter... :^D
I don't think it makes that much sense to upload any map you can download from battle.net. If you want to make your map available for the public for educational purposes or whatever, you can just publish it unprotected anyway.
However, it is useful for stuff you don't upload to battle.net, like demonstration maps of some sort, or single-player campaigns, which work better if you install them properly in your folder.
Yeah i agree .. but aside from mass advertising (in several forums or other) ..why how when.. can those people / practices be quantified/qualified ...?
No where .. i know :) sad really isn't it?
i'm as much an attention wh ore as the next mapmaker .. but i would appreciate those stats ...
from blizz ... for instance ...
i know one could slip in bank u d-age to get those infos .. has anyone gotten stuff out of it?
totally agree with the "go through bnet damaged the community"
fu ck no lan streamed anti piracy self serving s hit .. lans would have flourished like they did 20 y ago only 100 fold
dumb fu cks choosing one evil over an angel (their angel .. orcs vs humans was a shareware .. all their games had mapmakers .. what the hell is the world going to)?
sorry for quadruple posting :-) (but it sections matters nicely)
the philosophy put aside .. i did mostly melee maps (abandonned first mod and m on second) .. what you do with a map dwlded on mapster thzat is available on a server ..
... should i be looking for my maps on other servers ... ????

To help newbies learn, copy data or triggers.
and to help the map maker with bugs or improvements, its just faster when you have access to the map..
