Map Submission Format
• Required: Exact Map Filename (ctf_example_a4)
• Required: TF2Maps.net file ID number, OR url to offsite download.
__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)
• 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 you do not want/need the demo please don't request it, I have to get these uploaded by hand.
__If it turns out you missed the test and want it afterwards I can be contacted directly to get it.
__Demos will be available here within a day (two if I'm busy).
• If your submission is a single stage out of a multi-stage map, please mention this. (orphaned stage)
Testing options
• For a CTF map you may request capture crits be turned off. (specify this version only or all versions)
• For mature maps in need of balance testing you may request that alltalk be turned off.
• 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)
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.
• If you wish, you may withdraw a submission and another map will be put in your place.
• Non-compliance with rules will result in rejection of the submission.
• You may not resubmit a map (regardless of version) within the week or if it was ran last week. (if the thread you submitted in is still visible, it's too soon)
• If an author has more than one map, they may be submitted to separate days.
Information
• Submission deadline is 4 PM CST, 1 day prior.
• Maps will get 30 minutes playtime, KotH gets 20, Arena and orphaned stages get 15.
__Contest CTF maps get 23 minutes.
__Other maps may get 15 at my discretion.
• Submissions will be limited to 3~3.5 hours of testing.
