This is to all mappers, there is a serious criminal out there stealing all of our work and posessing it as his own.... he decompiled our (darkfighter and me) co_plague_b4 map and tried to call it his by adding some boxes, lights, and some new tunnels....i knew it was ours (darkfighter and me) because in the map there is a secret panel with our names as a texture on it... so please bewarned and PLEASE if you find this nicca, report him. thank you

    yeah, the lighting, texturing was changed a little bit... and the ready room looked the same except he added a "sewer" in it and other stuff.

    Who is it btw? If these are true, it would be nice to know, and you must know who it is if they are claiming it to be their own. It had to happen eventually, sad it happened to you guys first =/ Good luck opening up a can of #$#@% <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If you see it on a server, how are we meant to identify who did it?

    I know Nexus has decompiled many a map many a time so I'd ask him. Also try checking a .txt for the authors name if it was downloaded with the .bsp from the server.

    You don't decompile stuff huh? Actually I have never seen you make a thread in the mapping forum that didn't contain a decompiled and modified map that subsequently got flamed until lockage.

    you don't *need* to leave, but you *do* need to stop decompiling maps and learn how to do things for yourself. you'll only hurt yourself more if you take other people's work and call it your own. i would hope by now you've realized that.

    no kidding. that kind of attitude is most definetly not welcome. i'm trying to help nexus, not destroy him. the least you could do is let him be.

    And nexus, it might be wise to leave for a while and let things settle down, but you don't have to come back with a different name. just show us that you can create your own maps. hopefully we can see some of your real work in the future.

    I have to agree with Belgarion we don't need an elietest attitude like that in this forum.

    Nexus, I know you have been the brunt of many many jokes in this forum and I don't agree with it but I can also understand where some of it is coming from. You should know by now after all the flaming that people do not look kindly on decompiling. You seam to be finially getting the message. Feel free to post some origional work sometime. There are many people here like Belgarion who are willing to work with newbie mappers and help them get better. (just don't post all your questions in here, that's what the mapping help and troubleshooting forum is for)
