@nflanders said in DualGap Adaptive needs to be given to the FAF community!:
I am not suggesting that the map be taken away from the author.
That's exactly what you are suggesting though. Your title is literally "DualGap Adaptive needs to be given to the FAF community".
In any case, this cannot be done; the map was not published under a permissive license, and as such remains the original owner's. If you want this map to see future development, contact the original owner and have them give permission for future changes.
This is a good example of why maps, ideally, should be licensed under a permissive license. I've published all of mine under a Creative commons license, and already other variants of some of the maps have been developed (one or two 'survival' versions, for example).
Now, if you're looking for someone to make you a custom variant of Gap, you can send me a PM in discord. While I won't make a version of that map in my free time, as I don't quite like the playstyle of those kind of maps, I have been thinking about starting to do commissions. And making a custom Gap map for a commission might be interesting enough.
