xanan it dont matter about who you share your maps with, as soon as you join the server with it you have to download it anyways so it makes no difference wat so eva lol..
Actually, the server side maps only read attributes from the server side maps, so you have 2 sets of maps - those for your server (correctly built maps), and the 'appearance' maps which go into your client folder. For the client 'appearance' maps you just completely fill them full of attributes, so anyone else who wishes to use your maps must first clear the attributes, which is a right b**** to do.
Obviously it doesnt make them impervious to theft, but makes it so any rubbish server map-thief won't be bothered to nick them (my maps tend to be at least 500x500, so that's A LOT of attributes to clear, and is very time consuming, especially when you mix the colours, so the entire map's done in orange - it has to be cleared twice, and any type of undo completely resets the attributes).
