Map Submission Format
Required: Exact Map Filename (ctf_example_a4)
Required: TF2Maps.net file ID number, 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)
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)

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
• First come first serve, until the 3 hour period is filled.
• 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 7:40 EST is allowed, 30 minute test starting at 7:50 EST isn't)

EDIT: Heh, 100 posts :D
EDIT2: @Zhan Deadline for updating your maps is at least 9 hours before the event please or i wont have time to check them and we'll use the old version.

Demos are up:http://feedback.tf2maps.net/event/66/

I like how all the entries so far (except for Corrode and Multiplex) are koths.

(the bz2 is inside the .7z cos gamebanana won't accept .bz2 format... )


NB: the map should already be on the server as snacks uploaded it for me last night



if there's too many maps for the offical test already, then i'd be cool having mine tagged on at the end for impromptu purposes, ya know so even if 1/2 the people leave cos the official test is done i can still get some feedback

Can we have a zip download containing all the maps please? It's better than having to download each map and copying them over individually.

Zhan your koth map has problem with the announcer, whenever blue captures both point she says time added once every second, it didnt happen when on red though

This is a known bug, though I'm unsure why it only happens with one team. It's necessary to have the "time added" every second because that's the result of an extra timer to make the team_timer run down at double speed. I thought it would be preferable to have the announcer voice spam rather than forgo the countdown at the end of rounds.

Could we run it anyways, with the entity bugs it has?

Hey, that's a great idea! I seem to remember way back in the Department of Engineering playtests for TFC maps that they did it that way, back in '04 (has it really been that long?).
