Nothing can be done legally. Map is in the public domain. Howerver, thanks for pointing these out.

Heh, I haven't thought of it like that. It's true though, they apparantly liked this server's map so much they decided to use it theirselves.

There is nothing, literally NOTHING on the world that isn't copied anymore.

Besides, who cares if they use the same map as we do? We also use evocity for OCRP which like 69082906789 servers have.
What's the big deal?

Most people dont know how to fix the very basic problems that arrise from changing a maps name. It wouldn't suprise me if most of those communities didn't have a decent mapper or developer.

As long as they don't replace the credits texture in the trainstation that has the link to the forums, they're only serving the purpose to advertise this community.

Well, knowing that they didn't bother to change the map name, I doubt they would lol. That and it says 'rp_catalystgaming' or what ever.

Are you suggesting we do something illegal about it?

All joking aside, there's nothing you can really do about it except join their server and yell in ooc, "YOU HAVE OUR MAP, YOU HAVE OUR MAP! HAHAHA YOU HAVE OUR MAP!"

But they still probably won't change the name. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

Them
0/48.

Catalyst
37/40.

It IS kinda ridiculous that people would do that, but as mentioned before, it's free server advertising.
