Announcing the Maps Workshop Beta!

[tf2.com]

Are you great at making fun, addictive TF2 maps? Do you have no idea how to make a map, but you like playing on them? Are you only vaguely aware of what maps are and prefer to just walk in a single direction until you find what you're looking for? Introducing the Maps Workshop Beta, a place for all three of you to upload, enjoy or just learn about the existence of maps!


The Maps Workshop Beta is an in-development one-stop hub where mapmakers can instantly upload and get feedback on their maps. Simply head over to the in-game Workshop tool and click on the new Maps button. If you're just in the market to play new maps, you can now browse the Maps Workshop and up-vote and subscribe to maps you like—or just connect to a server running a Workshop map and it will download automatically from the Workshop.


And remember, this is a Beta that we'll be working to improve. The TF2 team is incredibly appreciative of your feedback.

You can submit maps from the in-game workshop button, there is a new button inside there for 'Maps - beta'.

If you have custom content, you pack that into the bsp first before uploading (don't 7zip into a bz2 or anything).

Though... for MvM maps, you can't pack in the missions and bot lists, can you? I seem to remember those had to be seperate or else they wouldn't work right.

I've wanted this for so long, finally! Keep TF2Maps alive though, you guys are inspirational.

 

[Crimsonseven]

It's a good time to be mapping. This is especially great for a lot of you talented folk.

 

[Géza!]

Why would TF2Maps go anywhere, there'll always be a need for playtests and mapper feedback.

 

[Egan]

the timing compared to routine maintenance tho

 

[Pocket]

Time for me to get back in the game and double down on Turbine2 and 2street. The clock is ticking!

 

[infectedfury]

About time. I've been wanting and suggesting this for some time now.
And the amount of people on this site that were saying that this would be a bad idea was ridiculous.

Gunna have to get some stuff up there when I get home.

I saw that downloads from server now go from workshop

just connect to a server running a Workshop map and it will download automatically from the Workshop.

Does that mean those players become subscribed? Because that would be awesome.

You can add item/dlc requirements to your maps

Now I've just got to get some maps in shape to get them in shape. The cycle is never finished.
