<div class="IPBDescription">connecting people</div> So here's the idea in nutshell. Mappers searching for publicity could send here posts of their maps they want to be played on public servers. No more searching net or forums for maps. This would surely make mappers' and server admins' life easier.
For mappers posting, include atleast these in your posts:<ul><li>Name of the map
</li><li>Overlay screenshot, take the TGA-Minimap and covert it to jpg.
</li><li>Download link and size of file
</li><li>Description of map telling atleast: style, type (serious or not), atmosphere (use your own words) and size and resource usage (for computer). Also you could mention anything server admins might need to know (max players for example).
</li><li>Percent ready and possibly estimated fininshing time
</li><li>Link to its own thread, if exists. And link to own homepage, if exists.
</li><li>Servers its played on, name and ip.
</li><li>Optional Teaser Screenshots. Consider taking good few shots rather than filling whole screen of pics taken in every corner in the map. Size under 640x480 is encouraged.</li></ul>Note for server admins:
Send message (ie. pm) to mapper if you take their maps for your servers. Post the name and ip of the server so they can add it to their posts.
And one important thing for posters:
Only authors post their maps. Dont post about others' map matter how good they are.
Mods:
Sticky'ing is really appreaciated, yeah! Thanks.
EDIT: Grammar errors corrected and edited unneeded comments out.

In other words use this when you release a map, and if you want to get serious gametime on it. (really a bump)
USE this!
