A quick guideline for getting your newly-created map on Quaddicted in the smoothest way possible.
The release should be a standard ZIP archive and include
[list=*] ]the fully-compiled and thoroughly-tested BSP file/] ]a text file with information on the level, the author, and the requirements to play/] ](optionally) additional files required by the map, but no unnecessary clutter/] ]a consistent, lowercase naming scheme for all files, including the archive itself/] ]no directories, unless they are required for additional content or a mod/]
[/list]
I’d say this topic is not that useful anymore (“how to release” wiki page is linked on the homepage and we have been using the “tracking new releases” thread for ages now) so I am demoting it from being a sticky. Also I edited the “Tracking new releases” thread link into negke’s post.
Hi there, so let me share my problem. I see it is advised not to upload to Google Drive, and that https://www.quaketastic.com is preferred. I went there, and there is no place to register. Just log in. I want to start submitting maps to the community. Cheers
Welcome! It’s a bit confusing but you can find the login details for quaketastic for example on https://www.quaddicted.com/help/how_to_package_and_release_a_file
Alternatively you can always choose any other standard file host that you prefer, archive.org is nice or any self-hosted one. Anything that provides a clean, direct URL that can be downloaded with tools without any intermediate steps.
