.. i tried to upload it this morning but i did made some chenges on the file while uploading! :S (srry) lol..
so, i really dont reccal what was the answer but i think it was that it has been uploaded, now i tried to upload it again and told me that the file already existed.. but i cant find it there.. shall i wait? or is really something messed up with the site?
shouldnt we use the same method as one other forum i know.. get a subforum where we put some pics and the link to the map... i believe it would be much more easier and would work better...

i feelt free to post the link of my new map.. may i?

Right... Well, I only wish that you could overwrite a map that you have uploaded with a newer remake or version of the map. That's what I plan to do for de_arena eventually. I mean, that was an okay map, but it was obvious that was a direct Quake convert to CS: Source, not necessarily what I had in mind. I mean, yeah, I did want to port the .map geometry from Quake to Hammer, but I really did not really want it to keep to its old form. So I'm hoping to redo de_arena, and upload a new version pretty darn soon...

hmmm.. overwrite it wasnt able.. it told me of an error due to the file already existed or something like that.. so if it wont appears i'll probably just upload it with a different name..

but still, moderators i believe that it would be easier to do have the maps shown in posts on a subforum...

Great idea, there, Wraith. Needless to say, it's good to see that the uploading may do nice for some more than others.

While I would think a sub forum for maps and their discussion is a good idea to some extent we can't have allow a user to edit current maps on the site with a newer version. That's why you retitle it with a V2 or whatever. If it's renamed you can upload the newer version without trouble. Besides, what happens to all those that have the original version? They'll have to delete that one and download the newer one, plus server ops and other boards/hosts, so just rename the newest version and load it. Also you need to make sure your custom maps are named different from other maps. So if you redo de_dust2 and make changes you need to rename it, since it's not D2 you can't use that name, also, you don't have the right to steal that name and base map from the creator, unless you're the creator, or make noticeable changes.

I didnt get it very well ... i complitly agree with you on the part of dont stealing and renaming it.. the map on the matter that i've uploaded has no changes on the .bsp file, and also is very likely that no one has already downloaded it, as i dont see it on the site...

if we are posting the maps on the subforum we can also keep the "news" up, and people following the subject will get it all, if the mapper done some changes he just says that there is a newer version, but always on the same topic.. otherwise on this site you have, if probably some months later i do some changes of course there will be people who probably wont know that there is a newer version of the map, unless they visit it frequentlyu... (i dont know) it shall be discussed i think
about stealing i do my "best" to have my "signature" on every single map..
