New Worlds Map Contest: All Submissions!


All Submissions can be found here: https://tl.net/forum/bw-tournaments/571869-new-worlds-map-contest-all-submissions


How will this work?
- Judges, Mappers, & the Community will evaluate the entries and decide on the top eight maps to move forward.
- Mappers will then be given 2 weeks to fix any issues found by the judges/mappers/community and polish the maps up.
- Judges and the community will vote which 4 maps move into the "finals".
- Mappers will be given 1 week to de-bug the map and finalize it.
- The maps will then be played and broadcasted in a series of Map Test Tournaments, each tournament focusing only on one map.
- We will then host a public vote to decide the results of the contest.

SQL Injection 03/31/2021 08:17 AM
Posted by:panschk[FP]

Hey everyone :-)

Thanks a lot to Crackling who pointed out to me that BWMN has been vulnerable to SQL injection because the inputs were not sanitized. I did not know better when I implemented it back in the day, but at least I tried to fix it now, using a regex search/replace. With this I replaced over 300 places in the code base in one go. This is not perfect and a really serious hacker might still be able to get through, but certainly an improvement. It could also potentially break something, although my tests looked good. If I broke something that previously worked, let me know in the comments.

When doing this on Tuesday, I accidently applied the connection settings to an older backup of the databse, which is used for the 'update project' started but abandoned by mmmk: http://broodwarmaps.net/BWMN_dev/public/index.php




Update 2021-04-01: I added another fix that should hopefully fix SQL injection in all cases.

Brood War Mapping News through 2020.
Welcome to all the new mappers that have joined over the last year. We’ve had a lot of new people, new events and ofcourse new maps. I can only speak for myself but personally Ive been very impressed by what you guys have been making, and that goes for people who have only posted their first or second map. So keep one hand on your pencil and make sure its scribbling away in your notebook designing new layouts. The other hand on your mouse, and keep it rattling about in SCM Draft putting your concepts into reality!

Its been a very busy year for Brood War Mapping. Ive got to make a special mention for my Breakout Mapper Of The Year. This award goes to Minerals.

click Blindside


click Charmander


click Desert Dwellers


Next up is an award for Honourary Map Ambassador, and this special mention goes to ox. It seems to me ox has done a lot of map promoting this year, and put in the effort to unite and stimulate the scene.
If you use Discord chatrooms, you will be able to find a BW Mapping specific channel.

Also Qikz STPL Map Contest was a major event in the mapping scene and deserves a spotlight mention. Qikz wanted some awesome new maps for his team league, and thats exactly what we now have.

There were a lot of tournaments using foreign maps this year and I speak for all the mappers here when I say it is greatly appreciated. So thankyou very much goes to all you tour organisers and map promoters who have helped raise the profile to new heights.

Now that 2020 is over Im going to roundup some of the mapping news below.
But before we get into that, here are some links to The Cutting Room Floor. The site is an archive of axed game files. Click around to see everything in their StarCraft collection, for example:

And that concludes the annual Brood War mapping news for 2020.
However there are a few more items to cover.

On January the 9th 2021, battlereports.com closed down. This venerable website has been a stalwart of the StarCraft scene forever. Theres no sugar coating this one, its a sad story. On behalf of bwmn I know I can say we are all unhappy to see this come to pass. Wishing you the best in your future projects.
click battlereports.com closing

Freakling posted a new creep spawner on Jan 10th 2021:
click Creep Beacon

Im going to continue doing map stuff and following the scene but I probably wont post another one of these next year, so if someone else wants to open a text file and start noting the mapping news and take up the mantle for 2021 that would be great to see.

Finally we reach the most important question:
Why does Charmander have a massive boner?

I offer a warm welcome to all the new mappers that have joined the site over the last 12 months.
Welcome to the Korean and Chinese map makers who are sharing maps here. Long may it continue.

And welcome back goes to returning faces.
For example, having not been seen for several years, TkTkVrooM uploaded 17 finished maps in 2019!

Thankyou to all the tournament organisers who used foreign maps.

Did you know, Shakuras got its name from the phrase "Shake Your Ass".
Did you know, the SCV got its name from the word "Skivvy".
Did you know, korean commentators call zerglings "Sugarlings". This is especially appropriate when they have the adrenal gland upgrade.
Did you know, after the 0.91 update, Bubbles had been rated 17 times and got a total of -2,147,483,638 points. This gave it a rating of -126,322,566.9

Are we moving into another 'Roaring Twenties' decade?
Is 2020 going to be a year of Protoss dominance?
