Game Day Plan and Rules, Read these or I sic DJive on you.


Use either the TF2Maps.net website (PREFERRED), FPSBanana, or a private website to host your maps. Do not use Rapidshare or other crappy filehosts. Mediafire works though.
Before your submission is accepted there must be a downloadable version of your map.
All map names must follow the guidelines specified in this thread. (http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=2089)
All debate over what maps are submitted, what maps are played, etc. must be handled in this thread PRIOR to the game day. Once the map submission deadline is passed the rotation is set. Map rotation changes will not happen on the actual game day unless there are technical difficulties. If you have a problem with a map, voice your concerns prior to the game day.
Game Day Structure:

The game day has two parts, testing, fun play.

Map testing, takes place first, all maps submitted for testing purposes will receive 30 minutes of play time. Map testing slots will be assigned on a first come / first served basis. I will attempt to accommodate time preferences to a limited extent.
The general play time will consist of the most popular, by vote, of the submitted maps.




Map Submission Structure:

* Map Name (ex. ctf_mycoolmap_b2 )
* Link to map download
* Map is for testing: Yes / No
Optional: Link to discussion thread.
* Denotes required field.



Map List:
- All times listed in this section are EST unless otherwise noted.
- Due to the late posting of the thread, submission deadline is a little later than normal.
- Submission deadline is Friday, July 11th @ 9:30 pm EST
Testing Maps:
(Maps go here :P)
Block 1: CP Stonequarry
Block 2: CTF Cruise
Block 3: CP DoxCity
Block 4: CP Frontier
Block 5: CP Cagematch
Block 6: CP Dixie
Block 7: CP Pressure
P.S. I copy + pasted most of this info from DrPepper's post, if you find a typo tell me.

This map looks REALLY dark. One of the screenshots is nearly pitch black. It also looks like it's just a small room with two spawns and one CP.

I don't think people will stick around long if this map comes up in the middle of game day - it could empty the server.

This is only based on the screenshots - I will check it out in-game and return to this thread with my findings.

[Arhurt]

I tried to upload ctf_aerospace, with no success. It might be the filesize, sitting at 40mb. I'll try again tomorrow.

[Narkissus]

You cant upload over 10MB, use filefront instead.

[MangyCarface]

Try mediafire

[Snipergen]

OMG I got to reserve a spot for cp_pressure_a2.
I will give download link later this day but please sign me up on spot 6 because otherwise it gets too late for me.

[Laz]

will upload pl_haywood_beta tonight.

[Arhurt]

ctf_aerospace is up for testing

I'd advise downloading the map prior to the gameday, as it's quite a big download!

you guys need to let me know when you're having a problem :(

[Arhurt]

Sorry about that, I was very tired and needed to sleep :P I'll let you know of any problems in the future ;)

nah, there are always a few people that stick it out in the server during really bad maps ;)

[MangyCarface]

We're getting a very decent number of submissions. Might down the time/map to 20 mins; 30's always seemed a bit excessive :P Looks like a fun time though!
I'll be submitting cp_dixie.

[The Asylum]

Ditto. I know I'm not the only guy here who can spend 30 minutes on MARIO_KART

....... or a 32-player Insta-respawn 2Fort server. Feels like I'm getting nowhere at all!

Nowhere at all!!

NOWHERE AT ALL!!!!

[Laz]

really bad maps get a full 30 minutes as well?

[MangyCarface]

We'll just be intelligent about it. If the entire server feels we've tested a map as far as we can then we can move on early. But we'd like to guarantee everyone a solid amount of playing time, so let's not prejudge maps, please.

[Snipergen]

http://jeroendessaux.be/cp_pressure_a2.rar

test, yes!

[umbratile]

Aw, crap, I tried to make the deadline with PL Smoke, but I guess I have to wait 'til next time. Oh well, I can't be there anyway, and I guess you'd like a more finished version (ie a version that I know is playable).

[Laz]

submitted my beta for playtesting on sunday please :) I cant make it saturday

[Snipergen]

Pfft can you move my map up a bit? I really can't make it that late :( 2nd place or something.

[AWESOME-O]

Can someone explain me why whe have 2 with the same times?
Because i always thoughed the second was for europeans

[oxy]

Wooo... I finally will get to play with some of you guys!

[Snipergen]

Hah cool oxy! I always wanted to shoot a bullet trough your head.

This sounds so weird if not game related/meant friendly

[Scruffy.]

Is there going to be a ping limit if there only be an America hosted game?

I wont be able to aim for the life of me but sentries can aim for me!

[Dox]

Yeah, I'm in the US too, but I'm also confused why we are not doing a European game, I dont think I would like it that much if they had Sat and Sunday games both in Europe, so I can see they might be irked... at least have the second set of games at a TIME that is good for Europeans if not on a server that is...

[MrAlBobo]

I liked the idea of a European game, lets you play the 1st couple maps one day then the last few maps at approx. the same time the next day.

Also...just pointing out, but there isn't a steam alert for this event.

[Snipergen]

Gameday is kinda failing but it's mangys first time, can't blame anybody tbh. Next time better!

[The Asylum]

Out of curiousity, did anyone play cp_cagematch today? DJ said it wasn't on the map list

[Swamp-Bog Mcgee]

No, never did play it.

[The Asylum]

Gay. It better be put on tomorrow.

[Swamp-Bog Mcgee]

I just hope the maps can be downloaded for game day while playing on the server. It was a little frustrating to flip back and forth. No fault on anyone.

[Laz]

was my map on the list?

[MrAlBobo]

yeah...after the 1st few maps i think we abandoned the map rotation and just started to play the map of whoever requested it 1st

[The Asylum]

Great. Ya put the new guy in charge and look what happens :P

[MangyCarface]

Honestly, a lot of it was out of my hands. I did screw up in that my network connection cut out halfway through my uploads, so the uploading was late. But all files WERE on the server so idk what happened to the redirect : |. Also I sorta got in trouble with my family at the wrong time and had to jump out of the server before it ended. I apologize to anyone whose map was not played. But AFAIK we did play:
Stonequarry
DoxCity
Frontier
Aerospace
Cruise
Perfection
Pressure
Dixie
I think Haywood, not positive.

So we did manage to get most of the maps in, apologies to those that were skipped in the confusion.

[Swamp-Bog Mcgee]

I don't recall ever seeing Perfection or Cruise. And I stayed the entire time. D:
Granted, I had to stop for 5 mins to download a map that the server wasn't automatically doing it for me.
The server kept going to wrong maps. Turbine, 2fort, and the only one that loaded correctly was Frontier for me (only one I didn't have to download)

[Dox]

I was there for perfection, and while I didn't see cruise I wasn't able to stay the whole time this gameday.

[MrAlBobo]

so...uhh...just pointing out, the last time I attended a gameday there was a problem with one redirect
and apparently that was due to there being capital letters in the name... (i think...)

[drp]

yea the redirect kinda messed up with some maps having capital letters. for the next one, i will create a mappack for all maps being played.

this will avoid any confusion with the redirect, and give all members a chance to download the maps before hand.

[Snipergen]

Also, people who ask "did my map got played"... jezus christ it is YOUR map we guys test for YOU so you should be at least so polite to actually be on the server.
And play on because we played your map, you play our maps.

[daemon]

I played all maps but mine :woot:, i think it was the first but couldnt get home earlier hehe.

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

For today, I tried to run it, following the list of maps that was posted in this thread, plus haywood, but also minus cagematch because I couldn't find it in the map list. Think everything got about 30 minutes, though there was a redirect issue with cruise that pretty much emptied out the server.

[Laz]

I could not make it due to family obligations (god I hate those)

[Narkissus]

What the hell went wrong with the cruise redirect? Was it my fault? There werent any caps in it.

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

I have no idea Narkissus. I just know that when I changed the map, the server wasn't downloading it (or downloading it correctly) to everyone.

[Lord Ned]

What's the filesize of the map?
