Mod Default AC maps?
#1
I have heared conflicting stories, and and find much info about it here. Are people (like me) allowed to Mod Default AC maps (like ac_Shine, ac_Desert, Douze, etc) or not?

I would probably ask the person who originally made the map, and remember to credit them first, especially if you don't change much.

No.
Short answer.
I think you need to ask them first, generally they will say no.

And generally, if you run modded maps on your server, your server gets taken off the masterserver list.

yes, definitely best to assume no, unless they specifically say yes.

What's the point of the poll?

You can mod any map as much as you want, no one can stop you. Only ever play them with friends in private on a LAN or by yourself. If you upload them to public servers you will get into trouble though.

In the worst case scenario you'll get banned from the masterserver, which means that you wont be able to download a new serverlist.

Since this issue has been covered before multiple times, this should be closed.

Well if someone were to mod douze, I don't think there would be too many problems. Only requirement would be that it gets turned into a real map. Other than that, bring back dust2, make riverside official, and that's about it.

im pretty sure that the default maps are protected server side and the server wont let you upload them to overwrite them and if you try to join with a modified map it will require you to have the servers version of the map to play, but if you were to modify ac_douze and name it ac_douze_REALMAP or ac_douze_10000ft_drop_with_hidden_passages_and_grenades_super_gema_weed_camper_in_OSOK_mode!!!!!!!1!!!!111!!!eleven i dont think there would be any problems as long as it follows the map quality rules

Make your own maps, no need to edit the default ones.
