"Fixing" other people's maps — good form?

[Grasshopper]

personally i mute the music , i like to hear what is comming at me or who i need to hunt down . i would vote remove the music @6MB less i have to download . the music is distracting in my opinion . let the ambiance set the mood .

Mikeeusa did appreciate the modifications I did to blueamuse81 (or rather, the "fix" of its darkness by entirely replacing the texturing by cel shading)... same map, more playable.

I think he is okay with it unless you use his old map name. As you call your variant desertcastles_mod, it is fine.
