My understanding is that map hack (only) happen in UMS mode (not Melee or other modes), since the triggers are enabled there (someone could easily have a clear vision of the other player, etc..). so anyone playing in a map Using Map Settings, is subject to hack.

The point is if I don't trust the map host, I shouldn't play UMS.

Am I right?

Well, if you join a 1v1 on Hunters UMS you get what you deserve.
But, pretty sure it's melee mode in the video.

I still couldn't believe that maphack exists in melee mode, maybe 3rd party tool or other things.

But if it's a map thing, couldn't Blizzard check the signature/hash (MD5/SHA-1) of the map for 1 player, and compare it to the original signature of the map.

for example: Fighting Spirit MD5 is always=2FD0919F83BFD647EE853F8FA3A12614

BWAPI even has a built-in function for that.

Not every cheat/advantage in the game is referenced to a map modification (map hack), it shouldn't even be called a hack, cheat/advantage is more accurate.

The CoachAI knows everything about the enemy players (Multiplayer included like Lan/ICCUP and you'll get the ICCUP win points).

Can we call this also mh (map hack) ?

Moataz, we use the name 'map hack' for a specific program that allows players to see through the fog of war, on the entire map, from the first second the game starts. Like typing 'black sheep wall' in single player. It's a hack, because people should obviously not be having this advantage on ladder, and because you need a third party program injecting stuff into memory, or something like that, to get the desired effect. You plugging your own CoachAI here is pretty irrelevant and not what people here mean by maphack.

Thanks fazek42,

FYI, it is pretty relevant, the CoachAI (beside the pic I posted) allows players to see through the dark/fog, on the entire map (but not the mini-map), from the first second the game starts. Like typing 'black sheep wall' in single player, you can even see the exact destination the human-enemy-units are heading to, what orders their units are assigned to do and more. but we can't call this a map hack, can we ?

The problem is that the less experienced players, calls everything a map hack.

Difference is, when ICCUp was popular, the CoachAI would not have been allowed as third party tool, it would have been considered a hack by Administration.

The YouTube video I posted is a melee game. The difference between UMS and melee starting is you get to see another screen to press "START" before you actually start your game. Melee is just an instant start as soon as that 5 second countdown is over. Also, you can see from the video that there's BOXES providing what units and buildings are including the health bar. People who have played BW for couple months and understood the game would have known without comparing to other programs like the image above...

Flying drone works on all different patches and versions. However, if you do that on ladder, you are taking a risk of getting banned.

The difficulty level of flying drone bug is pretty high. It's not easy and consuming many seconds.
I do it sometimes on stream when I play 2v2s and ahead of the game just for my viewers.

Crimson)S(hadow way to divert the attention from a Protoss player screenshot clearly using a 3rd party software to a Zerg doing a well known glitch that has been there forever and actually is not simple to execute...

Im onto you Protoss sympathizer! ; D
