Private Maps
Private Maps
|
I was wondering if anyone on here knows how to make a map private so that no one is able to decompile it and claim it for themselves?

Ok, this is what you need to do...
Save your map to a floppy diskette (or whatever those round things are you kids use these days), and put it into an envelope. Go to your local post office and put a stamp on it, and make sure they stamp it with the date. Mail the envelope to yourself.
Now, if anyone steals your map, you can take them to court and bring the envelope with you. Present the envelope as evidence, and it will prove that you were the original owner/creator of said map, and you will win the case.
Wasn't being serious, but this is actually really good advice if you ever have a cool idea that you don't want anyone to steal and copyright before you get the chance to.

Look, why do you want people to play this map on one server only? Besides, you're also placing quite a lot on people *liking* your map enough. You've just started, I can't see it being that likely.

Hmm.. but how do you prove that you really mailed whatever it was you want copyrights for, not just some of your pubicare?
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

Idk what pubicare means (sounds like pubic hair to me), but anyway the post-office stamps all the mail with the date on it. And then it also becomes federal property while they are in possession of it, so its pretty good proof that you actually mailed it to yourself on that date.

@OP, nobody is going to steal your map. Well it can't be all that incredibly difficult to open the envelope. I'd say that should be an efficient way of seeing whats inside 
Once you've submitted it to the court unopened as evidence, they will see that its still in a sealed envelope. Then they can open it up and take a look at whats inside.
Then if you have someone else after the case that tries and steal it, you have a previous case that proves you were the original owner of the idea.

Your friend google is waiting for you, and if you can't find it there, then most probably you can't(infact I would estimate that there is a 99.9999% chance that no one can do it).

It's like putting copy protection on music. Sure, you're protecting the file, but you have given the user the data, they will have some way of getting it even if you don't want them to. Hell, they could even copy it by eyeballing, you know?

Here's how:
Never let anyone else play your map.
That's the only way to copy protect music and movies. Same goes for maps.
