I disagree. No one is allowed to change/modify/add things to others maps. That's it that's all.

If its not your creation, DON'T TOUCH IT! USL clan are thiefs!

If the community cares about these things, ACTIONS against these thiefs should be taken!

Like they care.. if you disagree with me you basicly gave your map away already.

Looks to be that there just changing textures in the iwd.

There is no way to prevent this.

Yeah there is, just don't release your stuff. o.0
If you're going to play "mine mine mine, my precious map/code/etc... that no one must see/edit" you might as well not publically release it, because you are after all releasing free game modifications for the PC which people could modifying (it's bad manners without authorization but I'm not sure how much of a case someone would have claiming it's their own IP that no one can touch if they say so on the interwebz).

If you follow the notion that no one is allowed to change/modify/add things to other maps... what the hell are you doing modding/making maps for CoD4 stock game. :)

Rather than label them thieves or take action against them, should be using efforts to work towards Open Source instead as people are going to edit/borrow your stuff anyway, might as well just put it out there and work with/help people. o.0 I think PST-Joker was a big advocate of that (and believe he still is by releasing eXtreme scripts -- anyone verify?).

So if I understand what you said, we must tolerated pirates, hackers, cheaters, etc.... Good way of thinking....


And using your own words ... why the hellIW choose to use fast files? why the hell they changed the way file were in the other CoD games?
Why the hell we are stuck with 30 to 50mb maps when before there was 3 to 25mb?

Why the hell are you answering this post? are you supporting pirates and hackers?

I don't see what this has to do with hackers, hacking isn't really required to open up an IWD using WinZip and replacing an IWI image.

Should I even ask what replacing an image file has to do with cheating, unless the image has some PB bypass I don't know about that Nemo found. lol

And I didn't say tolerate pirates, don't even recall saying the word "tolerate". I suggested just forgetting them as they're a waste of time to deal with [because they're probably too stubborn to see what they're really doing] and using your time to make your projects better/ start an open source repository/ sharing your stuff with people.

The problem is, some people just arn't willing to embrace the job of creating good work and just have to take from others. There is absolutly nothing you can do about it. It's a sad fact but it is going to happen.

In a case like this, I think you just need to accept the fact that you were a victim, and like mentioned, keep working on creating new material.

And to clear up some misconception here, we do not support ripping off another mappers work and we respect those who do create their own maps. It's not "illegal" but it's frowned upon by any reputable community and that's enough for said rippers to earn their bad reputation.

USL have been exposed. Lets move on.
