Locking Maps?

So I wanting to forge a map, co-forge a new map called 4 suns. I have one named that but it isn’t the one, I rename my maps when I’m finished that way people know they are finished. Anyway, I swear this person who messaged me never heard of BTB maps saying it was to big and too dark (Meant to Be). Yes, the dark is for a custom game type called royal infection, or BTB Infection. Anyway, please let us lock the maps we don’t want feedback on, especially unfinished WIP maps. I don’t mind feedback, but make sure it’s the right Bloody Map first, geesh. This map that is called 4 suns right now is going to be renamed Dark Star Rising, 3 days of work on it, not even close to finishing it. I just think he was jealous of how good it is soon far.

> Point is, let us lock our maps we don’t want public please. On previous halo’s I never uploaded a map til it was finished, why that changed now?

The problem is everything you make is on your fileshare. Theres no option to upload or not

Don’t quote me on this, but I believe when Forge drops on Windows 10 the File Browser will get some updates to help with this. This is going from a tweet by Tom French a few months back, they were at least looking into making this happen.

I hope that and the scripting bug where they don’t get removed and affect a piece you didn’t want affected.

Ah here we go, this is Tom’s thoughts on it:

So they’re looking into adding author info so you can see who originally created a map

I feel your pain! I’ve had maps stolen where others try to take credit for my work, and people message me about my unfinished maps all the time. This is one of many issues that I raised recently, see #1 in the File Browser group:

I feel you dude. No one stole my maps yet thankfully but Im betting its going to happen sooner or later. -:frowning:
Forge is still buggy as get out. They need a remove all scripts button in forge, so scripts don’t affect pieces with no scripts on them. Reset Map as well, plaza won’t load in forge for me, it crashes, and lastly the latest hog wild ruined the mute system in matchmaking. ( my fix for that, start inv only party)

But don’t have a fix on the others.

Ok stckrboy I’ll make sure to quote every syllable.

Locking forge maps could help a little. People were downloading some of my maps but currently only 1 is done and it’s a grif ball court, while the closest one to completion it a btb map… if we could lock maps that were wip that would be awesome…

It would fix a lot of problems and it wouldn’t be that hard to implement I would think. Just add a button on waypoint if you double tap your bookmark on waypoint you turn it red for locked, no one but you can bookmark it.
