Hello.

1. Things to check before release:
- map is properly compiled (no errors, light -extra(4) done, fullvis (-level 4) done)
- no ingame issues (type 'developer 1' in the console and load the map, address warnings if present)
- map was playtested not just by yourself but also others

2. Create a ZIP file
- including all necessary files (most importantly .bsp and .lit if using colored lights), no log files or bloat like texture wads (unless you created them yourself) etc
- including a readme text file (same name as the bsp) with all important information about you and the map
- no directories in the zip
  - unless there are additional things like a skybox or music, then put them in corresponding subfolders

3. Upload and publishing
- upload the zip to a webspace, but not a filesharing site. If in doubt, use quaketastic.com (name: quaketastic, pw: ZigguratVertigoBlewTronynsSocksOff), go to single_player/maps and upload the file there
- post the link in the Quaddicted forum or you could even create a news thread at Func_Msgboard → celephais.net/board
  - if posting in a forum, it's nice to also post a link to a screenshot in JPG format
- alternatively, send the zip file to spirit @ quaddicted.com (may take longer for it to appear here, though)

Ok thank you.
I think I have understood. I'm going to send you a mail today with the Zip file.
Just tell me if you got it and if my map works.
Have a nice day.

Hello,
Negke I just played to "mappi" and "mappi2". These are truly incredible maps. I love and I play again.
Is it possible to have map files please ?
I thank you.

Hey, fellow frenchman here! I searched the maps database for your username but couldn't find your map. Did you release it anywhere?
