Hi I'm in a situation where I need to publish a different map to the same slot every 24 hours. I'd like to figure out a way to do this automatically and not at the OS/macro level. I was wondering if anyone has messed around with the game publishing interactions and know whether there are any black-box handshakes going on or whether the publishing process could be accommodated by a 3rd-party tool (a publishing tool written by one of us that runs on a command line or in Windows). Sorry this is a bit off topic. Thoughts?
I can't think of any kind of program which would not be banned by Blizzard. What exactly needs to change about the map where you would need a new file every day?
The terrain needs to change each day. Currently blizz doesn't allow map-linking on bnet, the size limitations are quite restrictive, and decent programmatic terrain generation is far from a reality. So I need to manually publish new terrain every day.
