April is fast approaching, and so is the infamous April Fools Gameday. So, I've decided to host early "preview" testing to help mappers make the best AF maps they possibly can.Secret April Fools Early Testing Gameday!

Submission Rules:
*** Please don't directly post links to your maps here! ***
Reply in this thread if you'd like to claim a spot, and provide the following:
Code:
Discord username:
Gamemode:
Content warnings:
Special considerations:Content warnings are things like flashing lights, loud sounds, etc.
Special considerations are things like class limits off and point_servercommands.
I will be contacting people through discord a few hours before the test in order to collect maps. I will be revealing nothing about the maps that will be played ahead of time. Don't add your maps to the Bot, I'll ping you when your map is up for testing.
For the special considerations, think things like commands run before the map loads, needing class limits off, or point_servercommands. You don't have to list these things publicly; when I contact you for your map I'll ask you about them. If you need the use of point_servercommand, I'll give you more information about the approval process at that time.
I fully expect some maps to break. That's okay. That's what I'm here for. That being said, please keep these rules in mind:
- Filename must be versioned.
- e.g. 'cp_example_a1', not simply 'cp_example'
- Filename must be entirely in lowercase.
- 'cp_example_a1', not 'CP_Example_A1' - capital letters break Linux servers.
- Fullbright maps WILL be skipped, no matter what.
- Please repack your map before sending it to me.
- The use of point_servercommand must be cleared with me ahead of time.
MvM maps will not be tested during this event!
Other notes:
- Maps are generally run in the order they are submitted, but if you'd like your map to be played at a certain time please let me know and that can be arranged.
- New maps will be prioritized over maps that have already been tested, unless it completely broke and was unplayable the first time
- Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like feedback on, e.g. spawn times, scale, detailing etc.
- I will try to run these every weekend leading up to April, so if you don't get in now, don't worry.
