Version control

Hey...

Just wanted to suggest to the creator of the site, to implement a sort of version control for the maps...so one map would have one link...And when the author of the map wanted to update the map, the old map would be removed (or stored somewhere), and the new map would be uploaded (to a more global name, the author chose when he uploaded the first version...).

Its certainly doable, and would greatly improve the usability of the site.

It came to mind when I just saw the DotA remix 4.5...and I saw 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and so on, yesterday...And another thing, why won't people tell what's new on their map ? (maybe in the description of the new version)..

regards, Sunseth

That already exists.....
You simply re-upload the map and everything gets changed and adjusted...

Its there, just no one ever uses it...leaving me to delete all the older/obsolete duplicate maps and receive endless upon endless PM's from upset users wondering why their stuff was deleted... :evil: :evil: :evil:
