Hey guys, haven't gotten to go through your responses yet but theSkunk I have questions for you from one of the devs. I'm just going to directly copy past them in here.
- did they encounter upload issues mentioned by other posters in this thread and has the issue resolved itself for them?
- were the successful uploads new maps/mods or updates to existing maps/mods and if they were ever published under enGB locale per the theory from the poster before them
- can they name the map they uploaded which others cannot download to play
So we've identified the issue with the War3 data mod and we're looking into ways of fixing it so it's usable again. I don't have an ETA at this time but I'll update you all again when I know more.
We're gathering bug reports, including ones for the editor, but I wanted to let you know that I am specifically looking into the missing War3 Data mod.
Also, we have identified and put a temp fix on the issue that caused the deletion of certain mod files. I'm so sorry for those that have lost any sort of work because of this.
I know I'm not responding to all of the above points but I will say that last year we were able to play every map that was presented each night without issue and I expect the same to happen this year. We keep a running list of who's game is ready to test and we would simply move down the list. Bounty might be right that we'll need to make this longer and I'll definitely keep an eye on this as each one occurs.
So, again, when you are considering if you are allowed to use something for this contest, all Blizzard assets from our games can be freely used in this Blizzard contest. Anything that you do no own the rights to, you cannot use UNLESS you are given consent from the original creator. In this case, Renee has given you all the rights to use his stuff. What a swell guy. =)
Yes! We are planning on bringing the beta testing sessions back. We're thinking of September and October to give you guys time to have something for players to test.
To reiterate, you are allowed to use any assets from Blizzard games.You are not allowed to use any assets, including sounds, that you don't own the rights to. If you wanted to use assets that you don't own the rights to, you would need to reach out to the original creator to obtain those rights.

Jokes on me. You guys aren't able to do this. Never mind! We're still looking into it internally but we just need help reproducing the issue.

Hey guys, they are taking a lot into this. For everyone having this problem, can you provide editor debug logs?

We have a fix for this and it will be deployed in the patch we're releasing this week. Thanks for the reports!

I have mixed reports. Some people can't see it and others are pulling it up right now. Still looking into it.

I forgot to ask: did the editorbackup folder save any of your work?

I actually found your list very helpful last year but I understand if you don't want to take over again for this one. =)
