I was hosting my map on bnet, i've done this loadsa times before with -ALMOST- the same version (only thing i've changed is gameplay constant "damage from primary att - 1.00" i reset it). I load the map, my brother joins over battlenet and we start the game (we're on lan). It quits out as if the host left and everyones name is chosen to map stealer. My immediate thought is, someones stolen my map! What's going on here (i'm using WEU and i protected my map, this has never happeneed before, oh and im using 1.17 406)

Only way that can happen is with triggers, look through triggers, it should look somewhat like this

Event
Time Elasped 0 seconds
Conditons
None
Actions
Change player 1's name to Map Stealer
Defeat player 1


but for all players, i don't feel like writing the entire tirgger details.

I made all the triggers myself, none of them are changing any players names. thanks for trying.

possibly its the protection itself, saying no-one can play and use the map other then you...


try unprotecting it... and test it again - maybe use heavy locker to protect your map

I managed to figure it out, its because i had protected the name and description of the map, then changed it. It's a WEU problem and i fixed it by opening the enhancer and unchecking the protection on an older version, unforutnatly the newest versions are no unusable

it is not a weu problem, it is your problem -)

that's what the name and description protection is supposed to do

No, it's a WEU problem. That's what you get for using 3rd parties. :)
