For impuredeath: I'm working on becoming a decent map creator. I've got the glitches and stuff down (moving grounds, etc.) But I dont know how to get mapcrew to P1 my maps and whatnot. Do you just wait until they like what they see, or do you have to comfront them? :o help is appreciated.

I'm not Impuredeath but I can still answer questions :P For P1, you can talk to a moderator in-game. For a higher perm, you'll need to wait until the submissions threads are up.

If you have a map, and you submit it to the map crew, and they don't see it for a few days, or something, and it gets deleted because well just say it's bootcamp and it gets deleted from bad votes, can they still perm it?
Also, on average, when submitting a map through: http://goo.gl/McqWZ
How long does it take?

Deleted maps can be permed. The community isn't the best when it comes to voting on good maps ^^' However, if you make a bootcamp map with the intention of submitting it to bootcamp (P3) you should export the map as a tribe house, since bootcamp maps don't really belong in regular rotation.

That link isn't quite official yet, so I'm not sure how long it would take. Not every map crew member uses it, but not too many people are submitting it that way...

This isn't a map submission thread.

Impuredeath a dit :
Well I disagree, If people will submit maps. They will aim for that, If they know if they just make maps with the aim to make a good map. It will eventually reach it rightfull spot, without any begging/submitting/trying. If people submit maps, they might consider their own maps better then it actually is, this way you will have more bad maps then actual good ones. While p1 maps, are nicely listed on cfm. You can go over them, pick a map which you like. And test it.

The other thing is, if like for examples moderators would test p1 maps, and send the good ones to the mapcrew, maybe the maps they thought weren't good enough, although the mapcrew would disagree, wouldn't be send. And if the maker of the map is not motivated or has no interest into getting a perm map, it would never get its spot.

Also if you have to go through the hassle of going after your map to reach a certain point, then alot of players will lose motivation to make anything good.

We already go over Cfm and check for maps that could be made P3-9 when we can, but good maps aren't just restricted to P1. Submissions are still vital since the map crew can't cover all maps and it gives everyone the chance to have their maps up for a higher perm. If people are going to put quantity over quality, whether we have submissions or not won't change this.

Regarding mods whispering map crew with P1 maps, any mod is allowed to put up maps for vote that they feel is suitable for higher perms, so there's no reason why they need to go through a map crew member first. Most mods either don't feel comfortable or don't want to be involved with any of the rotations though.

I have submitted a bunch of new maps recently (as in a month ago) and none of them have entered rotation.

Is there something going on or have they simply not entered rotation?

Sorry if I am missing something about this.

In my opinion this map: @278694, by tuiii , looks like titanic.
though it gets bombed instead of sinking.

You have to wait for map submission thread which should be coming soon, but if you want to submit p1 maps you can contact some mods which are willing to look at them.

Btw can someone(probably detle creator of thread) put the frequently asked questions(FAQ) so that those noob questions won't be asked over and over again...

There's so many maps being sumbited every day that it takes a while for your maps to be played. Takes 2 minutes to play a map, and thousands go into rotation every day.
Plus, it could've been played by a single mouse in an empty room- in which case it wouldn't get rated.
I have the same problem on my other account.

#156

I assume the map dont have to go through anything before going to rotation, you can try to load your map in tribe house right after you have exported it and it would load, the only thing wrong is that cfm may be slow.

How do you make colored backgrounds?
I've tried using a rectangle ground and putting it in the backkgorund with no collision and coloring it and when I try it, my mouse is over it but every item and decoration behind. Any ideas?

CFM doesn't update map votes very well. You should check your maps in editor, by loading the @code. The votes and rating will be on the top status bar.

Export the map as a tribe house. You can submit it to become a vampire map when we have a Map Submissions forum. Just wait until then.

There's a decoration item that looks like a colored square. If you select that and place it on your map, it becomes a background.
