"Not protecting your maps just lets ppl like Yoz here take all your hard work and take credit for it. "I would EVEN have given them credit". Is that nice of you to do now or what? Of course you must give them credit if you use their stuff! And by protecting their map they clearly state that they dont want you to use their stuff, and therefor you are stealing their stuff if you unprotect and use, even if you give them credit for the whole map you make."
Its amazing how much bett'a this world would be, if no body nvr expects anything in return...
Its called humility, being humble, and a sharing spirit...
Games are a total conversion of art and creation from the minds of thoes who were "WILLING" to share them for a trade of profit for their creative abilities to earn for themselves cos of their talent.
So forth in art, wot do u study, PREMADE wrks, its the only wey to get bett'a, its the only wey to grow, to learn from the past...
Pass on the humility so that thoes less fortunite can hav some chance in this world of polotics and greed...
