Should creators of hacked maps, leave an Insignia, so the map is Identifiable?

Another un-sure request

Post by Korbel »

hey i feel as tho im walkin on very thin ice. i cant find a genreal discussion thread so im just posting my forum request here.

On hacked maps, can creators put something not really noticable but still there on the preview screen that only the host see's when choosing games, so we know if its the right version.

For instance, i believe wierdone2 (sorry if im wrong) put "hacked" at the bottom of one of their maps. What if Xantan put a transparent red "X" over the screen, or even just the slightest change in the image so we hosting know that it is the correct map.

As for right now, im just making new folders. Some are labeled hackedmaps, while others are devoted directly to Xantan and wierdone2.

Im not sure who would answer to this calling, but i will attach a poll so that whoever it is, will have a better idea of how many people are having this same problem, and ask for some assistance.

Thanks...

PM me or reply...dont matter.

Again, sorry for this being in wrong section...please move it if there is a more appropraite section.

Nope we shouldn't as other people will see it.


What is SEMI-possible is changing the map name in the hosting list only, but then... if you want to join it you wont see it, so screw it...


Basically.... Put it in folders yeah... type the command to see if its rigged... I don't think theres a way we can do this without people knowing

Best way is to do what Xantan said about the folders...

I think its the only way for you to understand whether its hacked or not

I voted "not sure" but i changed my mind to "disagree" too bad i cant edit that :|

PS: I dont think this a map cheating/deprotection request!
