I was just wondering what the policy was for map stealers. If you catch someone hosting your map with the same name on their server. Can you even report it to someone?

<Edit>

Like I mean take your map completely without your permission and host it. No name change, no modifications, period. I have a screenshot of his server details but I was wondering if I could actually report it.

You cant do anything about it. Sorry for you


Thank you guys for being so quick, and direct about it. Just made me mad that a map I made was being hosted by someone else. Bah! Oh well, they don't know all the bugs in it yet, mawhah.

Why did you not add a text document in the maps folder?
And why did you not add your name in the map. In a texture.

Put a message in your map file.
And say "this map is made by Hoshi. dont host it without my permission" or something like that.

Well they aren't actually stealing, say everyone has de_dust right made by DC (I think) are they stealing?

Well ilovemyself is right, just make a .txt of the map name in the map directory and put your briefing. Personally I still have REALLY OLD MAPS like the first TGV Prison Map by Kickzem, and some by Prepheph (Is that how you spell his name?)

they can host server with your map -.- then your map becomes popular dont you think, and stealing map is when someone says its his map and its not, editing someones map is stealing too

errr.. W T F?!
why do you create maps if you don't want others to host and play them?

this doesn't make any sense.

please don't create maps if you have a problem with the fact that others could actually play them.

this is totally pointless.

closed.


btw: do NOT add msgs or sprites with your name to your map. this crap is totally annoying. use the briefing instead.
