| - | Be aware that filenames longer than 8 characters will be a pain to use on DOS. So if you are a nice person, find a short one. It will also be nicer to type (if the user's engine does not support tab completion). | + | Title : Early autumn |
| + | Filename | ||
| - | Avoid any characters that are not a-z or 0-9. Quake engines do not handle international keyboard layouts well. Do not use uppercase characters for any files. | + | Author(s) |
| - | Before you settle, search the web for the name and make sure it is not already used. | + | Email Address |

| - | Packaging feedback: | + | ============================================================== |
| - | Please do not put stuff into pak files unless you make a mod. Standard Quake engines will only load pak files with numbers (pak0, pak1, pak2, etc) and only until there is a gap. Please use a standard zip file instead. Name it the same as the bsp file. | + | Single Player |
| - | Please write a readme text file. Even if it is just "This is the Xth beta of my map ABC (xyz.bsp). | + | Cooperative 1-32 Player : yes |
| - | If you release beta versions, make sure to indicate that in the filenames. For example bdm1_beta2.bsp or if you want to stay more compatible: bdm1b2.bsp. | + | Deathmatch 2-32 Player |
| - | I highly recommend only using letters and numbers, no other characters like _ or -. Quake engines are notoriously bad on supporting international keyboard layouts. | + | .map |
| - | As a straightforward host you can use http://www.quaketastic.com/ (pw for uploading is ilovetheshubhub). Make sure you chose a good filename! | + | Software needed to play : quake |
