Spoiler Make it look like this. If you don't know how to do it, here is a little guide.[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/CALm7Ga.png]

What do the colors in the playtest submission overview mean?

Quote

Spoiler Color Legend:

* White: Open submissions, considered as valid until inspection. Spot in the schedule can be considered as reserved * Green: Accepted Submissions * Yellow: Accepted submissions, which fulfill all basic conditions, however "Status 1" and/or "Status 2" have optional requests for changes for the playtest. * Red: Invalid submissions, which are not fulfilling all basic conditions, "Status 1" and/or "Status 2" show what conditions aren't met. The submitter still has the chance meet the conditions, the submission is invalid until then. * Dark Grey: Declined submissions. The map is not ready for playtesting and/or does not need to be playtested on MapCore. "Status 1" and/or "Status 2" show more details. * Grey: Old submissions

What do the "Status 1" and "Status 2" columns in the submission overview mean?

Quote

Spoiler Two playtest administrators are verifying if the map is ready for a playtest or not.

Status 1: The first administrator verifies if the visual quality of the map is in an tolerable state. Once it's verified, the status changes to OK, otherwise a comment is in its place. Status 2: The second administrator verifies if the map fulfills the conditions mentioned in the submission form. Once it's verified, the status changes to OK, otherwise a comment is in its place.

Playtesting sessions are scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 21:00 GMT+1. We playtest a maximum of 2 maps per playtest.

For map creators:

If you want your map tested, post in the thread and suggest a day that is suitable for you. If the above mentioned time isn't a good fit, let us know and we can probably work something out!

Prior to the test you will have to send Roflzomglol one .bsp file, one .nav file and an optional .kv file. All custom content (models, materials, sounds, mapradar) needs to be packed into the bsp. For this, you can use Pakrat. He'll take care of the rest!

Submissions can be considered accepted if they appear in the schedule, this can take up to 24 hours.

Quote from xCuDi

I see that the next two Sundays are already booked and unfortunately I am only available at 21:00GMT on Sundays. Unless of course something can be scheduled for 21:00GMT this coming Wednesday?

If not I guess I'll have to wait till the next available Sunday, seeing as though I usually work until 7:00PM which is 01:00 in the GMT time zone.

Hey Cudi, I would generally have no problem with scheduling it on wednesday for you but I'm quite busy these days and I pretty much need the days in between the playtests to work on my ownprojects. I could book you for the sunday afterwards already if you want to though.
