Correct. But the real question is : do you really want to submit an orange map ? :O

EDIT: actually no, the thread ID is wrong, should look like that : http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?[B]t=16562[/B].

How do i get that link then? why isnt submitting your tf2.net upload enough?

You uploaded to the site, not the server. The t=16562 is for the feedback system. You get that by going from the maps forum to your thread.

Why texture it when im going to change alot of it after testing? lots of maps have dev textures on still while testing. Also the name is tempory

On that subject : yes, this is true, but orange dev textures are visually aggressive, there's a bunch of greys that are functionally identical and much less unpleasant to look at. "Orange maps" generally refers to maps that are intentionally textured with dev textures and will stay that way forever.

Thanks for that, had no idea there wher other dev textures!

Put "dev" into the texture search.

Use SLIME for everything.

Thank me later.

Ah I see. Just because of the name I assumed it was remaining an orange map (like cp_orange_x3 or whatever its called). Actually for testing purposes I think there is an argument to be made for texturing it properly. I realised while trying out loc_n_lol's watermill that the detailing of a map has a huge impact on how much I enjoy the level. But then you want to have the as much of the basic layout of the map set out in stone before you start detailing it, so it's a damned if you do damned if you don't sort of situation.

I followed this advice and my map became the second most popular TF2 map in existence (behind 2fort) within 48 hours.

Alright guys, sorry I wasn't there but paypal disputed a payment and my Steam account is locked until further notice.

 

[Loc_n_lol]

So you're not dead then ? :O

 

[Okrag]

Nope, but I won't be able to do any gamedays for a while.

 

[grazr]

This is why direct debit is > paypal.

 

[ScorpioUprising]

Does anyone have access to the demos? My map doesn't show up on the gameday feedback.

 

[Harpo_53]

I'd appreciate the demo for Parapet as well, I forgot to mention that.
