Great stuff . I have uploaded the pack to our server and will be testing them. They are currently only on the admin menu so can be put on at request. Do try and drop by as the server regulary hits 32 slots everyday. To join just type connect tf2.festersplace.com:27015 in consol. Hope you dont mind but have posted about your contest on our front page http://www.festersplace.com/web/
Good luck to all entrys

Is it possible to turn off instant spawn?
I think it might ruin the balance in alot of these maps

Ravine screenshot as the header? Seriously? For a custom payload map contest?

And green button is bad, orange would be much better for TF2. Looks great otherwise! I'll try to spread it around.

EDIT: Someone mentioned the page being dugg, might be useful to add the usual suspects' buttons in near the footer (digg, reddit, stumbleupon, facebook, etc.) to help spread the word and get the all-vital links that Google loves.

Ya about the header image it was the only one i could find that had the quality and "look" i needed it to have, map aside. I went with Orange the first go however it just didn't "feel" right i don't know... Green however although a little out of place rings in peoples heads as "download" and wanted it to stand out in a busy page.


I updated all the names **SORRY!!!** using Brandished's post here Map names

I haven't heard from Maxconsole either...I would have thought for sure this would be something they'd post about. They were excited when Portal: Prelude came out. They don't just do console gaming, so I figured we'd have a shot.

i got a response from the guys over at control point. they will be mentioning it soon. :thumbup:

Why include the version of the map at all? Just say "cashworks", "zig", "repository", etc.

Also might want to include a max-compression 7zip mirror, so the people who have 7zip can help save your bandwidth.

EDIT: The map pack is now linked on the front page of teamfortress2fort.com

Some people; like me; want to continue improving the map after the contest.
If you already named the map pl_repository; you can't release the map later under the same name without people getting mapname conflicts.

That would be no problem as long as the other admins agree. We could host it on our other 32 slot server tf2.festersplace.com:27019 or 81.19.209.142:27019 if u prefer ip. Pm your ideal setup and Fester Del and myself will discuss it. Im all for expanding and testing new ideas for the good of the game. We have been hosting some of your maps for a while and would love some direct input to make the game better. Just to let us know your required setup:
Server is hosted by Killer Creations in the uk
Dedicated amd 6000+ / 2gb ddr2 / Raid0 raptors / unlimited tier1 connection / Fast DL server / Running 2x 32 tf2 / 6 slot bball 24-7 / 2x l4d / hlstats communty ed / website.
Never over 60% load with all servers full.
Lets talk

Why not just PNG it and not worry about background?

.png looks GREAT in firefox however, looks silly in IE.
