Map Submission Format
• Required: Exact Map Filename (ctf_example_a4)
• Required: TF2Maps.net file ID number (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/aboojumsnark/long/fileid.png), OR url to offsite download.
__BZ2 compressed files are greatly appreciated to save time for the host.
__May NOT be a hosting site like mega-upload (wait times, codes, excessive ads, etc).
• First time submissions, Required: TF2Maps.net discussion thread number.
__My scheduling system uses this number, I need it, not the post number. (picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/aboojumsnark/long/threadnum.png))
• If you need a specific time slot: Available time & your time zone.
__Only use if you aren't available for the whole testing period and wish to attend your map.
• Would you like the SourceTV demo of the test?
__These are automatically recorded at all times.
• If your submission is a single stage out of a multi-stage map, please mention this. (orphaned stage)
• If you are a donator with upload abilities, please say if you have already uploaded the map.

Testing options
• A time extension may be requested for mature non-arena maps in need of fine tuning (this includes orphaned stages).

You can keep the same TF2Maps.net file number by clicking edit on your file's page and then simply putting a new file in the upload box. This makes it easier for you (don't have to update all your links!), easier for me, and less clutter on the site. (picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/aboojumsnark/long/fileedit.png))

Rules
• The map must be playable. This means fully functional objective system, proper spawns, not fullbright, etc.
__The purpose of this testing is to help authors refine their designs, not catch newbie bugs.
• Filename MUST be versioned. (ctf_example_a1.bsp, NOT ctf_example.bsp)
__Do not rename a bsp after compile. The vmf must be renamed before compile.
• Filename must be all lowercase. (ctf_example_a1.bsp, NOT CTF_Example_A1.bsp)
__Our Linux servers don't work with uppercase names.
• Map must be IN DEVELOPMENT, finished maps do not require testing.
• Map may NOT use a point_servercommand to alter any variables.
• Map must be designed for normal play.
__This means no melee, class restricted, too small for 24 players, or otherwise gimmicky maps.

• You may NOT reserve a submission without a download.
• Non-compliance with rules will result in rejection of the submission.
• If an author has more than one map they want tested, they must be submitted to separate days.


Information
• Submission deadline is 11 PM EST, 1 day prior.
• Maps will get 30 minutes playtime, KotH gets 20, Arena and orphaned stages get 15.
• Submissions will be limited to 3 hours of testing.
• Last map can exceed the limit so long as most of the testing happens within the 3 hour period(30 minute test starting at 8:40 GMT is allowed, 30 minute test starting at 8:50 GMT isn't)

[LeSwordfish]

textures are packed, so are models.

I didnt FIND any purple checkers, but i got very lost, so may not have seen all of the map

[Draser]

alrighty awesome! :D i think im going to make a map texture like....a real "map" with directions and stuff. and put it throughout my map.

Since this one works though, ill keep it for the gameday.

Also stuff like this usually doesn't work too well! It'd be far simpler for you to just use the arrow sign textures already in the game, both for you and the players.

I guess this is a little off-topic but a cool way to use your map texture could be to have the map set up on a table in the spawn rooms and set up some chairs around it. This way your texture doesn't go to waste and still has purpose, but also has some context in the game for being there.

Typically stringing up maps throughout the level just confuses people worse, is all. Arrows are more subtle and to the point.

[skinnynerd]

Apologies about being so close to the deadline, I just finished getting the new version up... Can I still get my map tested?
