QuotePlaytesting 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 xCuDiI 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.
I created a new topic for the playtests, please post your comments there from now on
Quote from xCuDiWould it be possible to schedule a playtest for next Sunday?
Welcome dude! The next sunday is fully booked already, wanna choose another day? you can check out the schedule in the new thread.
Quote from GoobaHello again, something has come up on Sunday, is there any way I could swap with someone from the Tuesday 8th test?
i would suggest to post this in the new thread or write the guys who have their playtest on tuesday a private message here.

FAQ
How do I pack the radar files correctly?
QuoteSpoiler 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?
QuoteSpoiler 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?
QuoteSpoiler 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.

Since the current server has goofed we're going to test on the NEW NEW Server!
NEW IP: 94.250.201.180:27015
Hey guys, I gotta give you a quick update on the server situation. Today is the last day we're playing on the "new" server since the owner of it unfortunately decided to stop the service.
This means we're going to move to just another new gameserver. Puddy already ordered one. A new Playtest 4.0 thread will be created on Monday so that we can continue with the playtests without interruptions. The only thing that's going to change for you is the IP and the thread to post into.
Btw, I've added all the submissions to the schedule.

Hey, welcome dude!
I'm not really convinced of that layout tbh as it doesn't have nicely defined routes that you have to commit to and quite a few connectors/doors, I would start to simplify it. But to get to a solid conclusion I would also suggest to schedule a playtest with us. But watch out, the guy who's managing it is a real jerk.

Quote from Vilhamthe other route doesn't necessarily need something but maybe a very small open route to get up to B without crossing the bridge like a cliff path:

I really like the idea of the second path, would look pretty neat!
