Hey guys. I was going to post in the "introduce myself" section but this is my very first map, so I wouldn't have much to say. So I'm just going to get on to the question.
I loosely use the term "release," because I'm having a LAN party this week and wanted to make a silly TF2 map for my friends to play. This would be my first map ever. I made it over a period of three days, and it was a blast to make. It's not completely done, but it's playable. (For those wondering, it's arena.)
The problem is, I don't really know how to package it or release it so they can play on the map. What files do I need to get? Do I need to zip it or .rar it? Furthermore, how do they put the files on their system in order to play it?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I'm not sure yet if I want to release it to the public or not. But if a public avenue is available and it's easiest, I might take that option.
