Map Pack for Today's Gameday: USGameday12thJuly.rar - Uploaded

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 so there's no need to ask any more :thumbup:.
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)

I'm going to put Koth_Nova in this but i'm not done compiling

reserved slot (i think i can do this)

• You may NOT reserve a submission without a download.

It's not really problem as long as the download is up before actual maps are being pushed out as a result of you "Reserved" post. But having a post in the thread without the map isn't going to help you get a place in the gameday.

What i'm saying is anybody putting up a "Reserved" post will be ignored until the download for the map is up anyway, so don't bother.

Schedule is up.

Hyce777 , if your having trouble getting through the whole map in less than half an hour then i'd say split up the stages and test them seperatly like Rexy is here with his 3 stage A/D map.

Arhurt, the reason your map is'nt in the gameday is because I couldn't play your map as it crashed my game, i tried 5 or 6 times, it'd get half way through loading the map and then just die on me, sorry.

Hopefully this should be the url to the Feedback Plugin Event where you will be able to pickup the Stv demos after: http://feedback.tf2maps.net/event/73/

Hey, no problem. I'll try to figure out what's wrong. Thanks.

Well it certainly is possible to get through in 30 minutes, there is a chance that it could go over. If we don't make it through, I'll split them up for another time to test. Also, I feel bad for being the only person not to use a .bz2 file... sorry, I've just never learned how to make one, haha.
