During the patching process of StarCraft II 1.5, the StarCraft II<Mods folder is being completely wiped of all mods not native to installation (i.e: any custom mods). The StarCraft II/Maps folder is not affected though.
To be safe, map creators should back-up all mods in a folder outside of the StarCraft II root directory prior to patching.
Default for 32-bit Windows OS: C:\Program Files\Starcraft II\Mods
Default for 64-bit Windows OS: C:\Program Files (x86)\Starcraft II\Mods
Default for Mac OS: %USERPROFILE%/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/Starcraft II/Mods
And speaking of Mods, it appears as if some of the Developers will be regularly posting in the Battle.net Custom Maps Forums!
Quote:With the launch of the Arcade in 1.5.0, a few of the nearest and dearest from the StarCraft II development team will be joining us on the forums and focusing on answering questions about custom map development. If you have any technical questions about the editor or the publishing process, these folks should be able to provide you with some help and guidance.
Please give a warm welcome to Deletarius, Revilloso, Artestru, Xuzaca, Rotidecs, and Tenarsis!

Posted Aug 3, 2012Damn, too late... can't believe Blizzard released a patch with such a problem. Now I need to recreate the last version of my mod (cuz the old version is published so I can use it yet).

Posted Aug 2, 2012Too Late Announcement Blizztard....! - Why didn't they say it like BEFORE they released the patch?? Gawd now so many things over again. Good thing I have some of the Data on maps that dont use a Mod and all their data is within even if 5MB maps... that's why Main map ALWAYS all in it, never using MOD for a main map, to have it as a source for everything even if it had to be 20MB..
I even replaced some maps that had resources and data of their own to use that mod.. EDIT: Well it turns out for my data the losses are collateral, few things and then all back to normal.
