Hello 17b'ers,

I have a question!

Can you tell me how long the upload and approval process will take? I uploaded a map through the "Upload file" link. I did corectly or I have to propose my map to be uploaded here? I see severals maps of mine here and I though i should add more. Thanks in advance!

P.S. The "Quick reply" image is missing from forums. Can you fix it?

Your map has been uploaded correctly

You can see it there (When we have checked the last manual validation).

http://www.17buddies.net/17b2/View/Lst/Map.../Last-Maps.html

But as the mainscreen (300x225, jpg, etc..) is not uploaded, your map will not appear on the home page




Edit: Image for Quick Reply repaired

Ok, so what do I got to do for the image? Isn't there any process in this site to take one screenshot and make it like a preview of the map? Why my map is not on the home page? What do you advise me?

Home page displays only the lasts maps with mainscreen.

For the main screen, you must upload a screen using this page:

http://www.17buddies.net/17b2/Upload/File.html

This screen must be in jpg format, 300x225px , and in first person view (no logo, no addon and no black zones on it).

There is no method to make a screen automaticaly, sorry.

After your main screen is uploaded, you can upload others screens (size, format, type,etc.. free) using the link on the map's details page.

Huh, I'm a complete noob

After I add the mainscreen in the desire sizes it tells me:



Any suggestion? Maybe I should delete the map and re-uploaded with screen and all that?


Later edit:
Ok, so I think I finaly figured out. I named my screenshot ka_portal.jpg and the page found my map. In the first try, my screenshot was named screen.jpg and gave me no result. Its a bit ambiguous, but makes sense.

Thank you for your important advises/ideas.

Our upload process makes several tests in order to avoid incomplete or corrupted files, multiples files for the same map, etc...

In the upload page, for the screens you can read :

"The screen name must be the name of the map and have the extension .jpg (name_of_my_map.jpg),"

not so ambiguous, isnt'it ?

Your map have been validated and is now on the main page

Now that you are the "king of uploads", you can now upload all of your other maps

Alright sir!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my friend Tizu !!!
How are u ?

^^

Hei buddy!

I'm good just trying to find places where my maps are accepted.

You?

Here you can post your map without problem of porting ^^

Why do you say :"without problem of porting" S3B ?

Erf..mayrde..v'la que je te parle anglais maintenant..huhu..

Pourquoi tu dis ça S3B? Y a des pb sur FPSB?

Nan en fait pour soumettre une map tu es obligé de respecter des règles bien précises et l 'une
d'entre elles est que l'on ne peut pas uplauder une map si les textures viennent d'un autre jeu. Ce qui est con
car la map existe même s'ils la retire du site. Et en plus ça n'est pas toujours appliqué.
Du coup Tizu se retrouve avec une map sympa qu'il ne peut pas upload.
C'est le pourquoi de sa venue ici...

Je comprends pas le coup des textures.

Ca peut être copyrighté une texture? Une recherche google images t'en balance des milliers, alors je vois pas trop...

Enfin bon, pour un site comme FPSB qui accepte tout sans trop de contrôle, c'est quand même bizarre

Là tu te trompes....
Combien de maps je n'ai pas pu upload ou que j'ai vu partir à la poubelle.
Ils sont titilleux et disent qu'il y a pas de possibilité de 'porter' des fichiers d'un jeu
à un autre ( Valve).
En gros ils ne passent pas là dessus... et je sais que les images sont sur le Web
Disons que Tizu le savait avant ^^ et utiliser les textures plus mettre le nom du jeu dans
le nom de la map, c'était perdu d'avance.

Ca concerne la map ka_portal

Mouais...Là je vois pas trop le soucis...

Enfin bon, c'est leur probleme, pas le mien

hey, isn't this english section

sorry if i am late to say this XD

i just felt like making my first post

Congratulation for your 1st post

it was funny to read french and english : mixed i noticed after i read last posts
