I finally got mail...
First of all I dislike the word 'copy' you use. My content may have something in common with yours, but telling me I 'copied' your triggers,etc. is simply wrong. Since I still don't know your map I invented these triggers together with a friend of mine (Just-for-Honor). You might compare this to the invention of the TV. It was invented at about the same time, but spatial divided(in Germany and in America) by two different people using slightly different concepts. This was during WW II and the Nazis for sure wouldn't have leaked research information to their enemies, would they? So please don't accuse me of copying your content. My 'fans' and I worked on this map together to improve it.
When I look in your forums I see that you don't have waypoints in the mdidle of your spots. I don't like that. --> One reason to make a version that I like.
When I see that you have tools that assist people mazing and other 'bots' that do I don't know what. I don't like that. --> Another reason to make a version I like.
I don't know your concepts for the future so I don't know if mine have something in common with it.
I wonder why you haven't had any problems with other WMWs, but with mine. I think you really are afraid of my version competing with yours... That's not my intention and I don't know how you might think that. Your site has 300k hits every month while this site has had 1500 within 2...
Hi xxx,
The issue is not JASS or GUI triggers. The issue stems from the fact that the design of the map is infact identical to TTW, which WMW created and based on. TTW was the 1st map in the linear age which used the dual defender / goalie layout / ship concept. See the actual triggers and events used to preload your map, are identical to ours, and were originally created by us, I can see this based on the triggers you have posted. Above that, my problem lies in the exact fact that you are making changes which exist in our map, cause that is copying, regardless of what map you make them in, it is still copying. We have never had an issue with WMW cause it has never used concepts we have before applied to our map. You are now starting to create things in your map, which may look slightly different, but in idea are just carbon copies of concepts and ideas which we have long ago added to our map.
Outside of that, have you even played TTW, I suggest you do, because it is MUCH further down the development road and now has an entire development staff dedicated to improving it, and has many concepts in it which we definitely claim as our own. Consider you had created a map, and someone else had based their map off yours (not too big of an issue if it had its own concept / ideas / style), but then someone else started copying the stuff your map did, and begun adding that to this copied concept, would you approve? I doubt it. Our map also has various windows based tools to assist users in creating mazes, and allows them to save and view these mazes later. As I said, we do not have an issue with your continuation of the WMW series, and wish you luck in doing so, BUT if you continue to cross paths with concepts already placed in TTW we are going to continue our reports on your map. Just remember lastly WMW is based on our map design, and TTW was used as the base for creating WMW, so please show some courtesy for the people responsible for that.
