Simple question. How can I upload my map to SC2Mapster without it being stolen? I think I've found the b-net cache file of the locked, published version of my map, but I'm not sure people could play that if I uploaded it.
locked map that downloaded as cache on other computers (for them to play) can be unlocked. Do not rely on that locking to protect your map. Simply put, if they really want your map and want to publish it on another region, they CAN do so.
Uploading on sc2mapster, on the other hand allows anyone to download the map. Downloading it from here is no different than from bnet server. If you want, upload the locked cache map and people can still play it by double click and prevent majority of ppl from opening your map.
I tried opening the cache map with the Galaxy Editor and nothing seems to happen. The editor launches, but it just displays a blank new map.
I figured the 'locked' maps could be hacked into, but at least it makes it clear that I don't intend it to be redistributed without my permission. Last time I uploaded an unlocked map file on here, it got stolen and published all over the world :S.

@wingednosering: Go That's a good question I too am having issues with the mapster map manager, I hope we get an answer.
