Nobody who creates a map on Source has the right to declare NoDerivatives. You do not own the map, Valve does. You own the IP.

No this didn't happen at all. Where did op give credit? screenshot please. Where is the link to the licence on the steam workshop entry? it needs to be on the point on acquisition so people always see it and can't step down a licence. You are clueless about how cc works. The person linking to the map was the original creator!

Valve themselves know that they don't own layouts or custom content. They pay us for original product and don't proceed with anything they can't trace and get approval for. I'm sorry you just don't get any of this at all. And it's very ironic what you are espousing is basically mapping communism.

That's why Valve bought mirage from bubkez right?

After bubkez had to change it a bunch because CPL strike...right? He might be mistaking redistribution rights with ownership? I think he is out of his depth clawing on any logic to justify a point he doesn't even understand at this point. Mods should just lock this thread. No good is being done.

At the end of the day, a map literally almost every last person on Earth has forgotten about and was never going to be worked on again, it was appreciated by someone, and it was given a new breath of life. Maybe the guy misstepped a little, but some of you are so dumb that you are virtually incapable of realizing that there is an overwhelming amount of love and goodness in the original post, y'all are transfixed on IP laws that you do not understand.

This reminds me of the old days of Counter-Map, there was a moderator there named Tommy14, I despised this person. He used to ban and remove posts from anyone who uploaded a map in CS 1.6 that contained textures from Condition-Zero. Tommy14 was an incredible idiot who played a major role in the demise of Counter-Map. He had virtually no understanding of IP law, he acted with nothing more than virtue signalling like many of you here. Somehow in his mind, a person taking textures from one Valve project, putting it into another Valve project, and sharing it was a violation of intergalactic IP law.

Now to this day, it is common practice to do this with all Valve titles. Valve does not give a shit if you take Portal 2 textures and add them to Day of Defeat Source. Valve does not give a shit if you reupload Dust2, add a hallway, and neglect to mention David J. This is why I feel so many people in this thread are stupid, you people are dumb. You people are killing artistic expression with your stupid fucking rabel. You do a total disservice to the world of map making in general when you make a pariah out of someone just starting off, you act like a cancer.

This thread should not be locked, this is what actual real discussion looks like. There is no "topic" in conversations, topics naturally delineate as they become more interesting. Locking a thread runs as a direct contravention to the basic principles instilled by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 2, and well as the first amendment. If you can't handle freedom of speech, then leave Mapcore! This is a place for artists, not marxists looking to control the speech and expression of others.

I really like how you skipped my argument.

Also seek some help because with that attitude you will end up like this guy from DOI contest who had a breakdown because of deadline extension.

Just now, zastels said: A deadline extension for a contest is reprehensible. You cannot understand this because you had everything to gain from the extension lol. You have no integrity.

Brest was ready few days before the initial deadline. We didnt whine about it and we took the opportunity to improve. Not like others...

@zastels Don't you think there is a wide range of cases between "slightly taking inspiration from an art piece" to basically rip off the whole thing ?

I believe what you're saying is true, and that's a good thing that some people can benefit quite a lot from not starting from scratch or find ideas in other maps.

But from what I've understand, the creator of this thread has already just reuploaded 3 maps with no change at all, with no input of art or design from him. This is the main issue here i believe.

Contest rules do not matter.

You make a fair and logical point, you are correct. But part of starting off as being a map maker is not just learning how to map, but understand how to behave and what is and is not appropriate.

The problem here in mapcore is that there is a total obsession over his missteps, which completely negated the OP from receiving useful information. The guy is character assassinated for committing virtually no measurable amount of harm. It's one thing to throw a .vmf on Ebay that does not belong to you, but to reshare what has already be shared, who cares?! Like I said, do you think Valve cares if you reupload Dust2 and not give David J credit? Lol I don't think so.

Can you answer why Valve bought mirage ? Or you gonna skip it because you know you said something stupid?

I don't fucking know the answer! Jesus Christ you are fucking stupid!

I thought you already knew the answer... "You do not own the map, Valve does. You own the IP. "

LMAO

Zastel, valve bought dust off Dave...

This is not the US. This is MapCore. Locking this thread before it violates MapCore's rules any further:
