How do u post? :confused:

[omnicron245]

I am on a Mac computer and I can't seem to figure out how to "post" my map on the Altitude server. PLZ help!!!!

By "post" i assume you mean upload your map so others can play right?

Currently, you can't. You have to submit it to the forums and wait for the admins to download and upload them to the servers manually. I assume that in the future it will be much easier to host your own maps so others can play.

You can also host your own server!

Eh?

Export the map.

Go to server_configurator

Choose the bazillion parameters

then server launcher. I think. I have done that and it shows up for me. Dunno if it works right.

I say we need a server where all the hand made maps will be posted, but rated so people won't add maps without graphics and stuff like "turretwalls" and other sick cheaty things.
It could be an official server but made specially for map makers to share and test creations avoiding the server hosting problems.

For example im from russia and my server is not working even after forwarding ports and turning off the firewall. So its a good solution.

I am actually planning on doing that shortly. I will create a site where you can upload maps, and i will have a server that you can play them on, and then you can rate the maps. Trash maps (lame ones like you mentioned) will be removed by the player base hopefully.

Having some troubles getting my server running correctly though.

Map without textures looks wierd I think, its like you don't care about atmosphere of flying... And making "walls" out of neutral turrets is cheaty way to get XP. That's all... Sorry if I am mean

[gameguard]

his maps were just barebones testing out certain concepts. Exp means nothing in this game. Everyone will get to lvl 60 sooner or later.

Anyways, map making is pretty pointless at this point cus no one will play it anyways. Unless we can get it uploaded to the official server, we wont be playing on it other than some random 2v2 game on test servers.

This is not true at all. Obviously any map makers goal is to have their map in regular rotation on the official servers.

I think it's definitely true that it's hard to get players to test out new maps, especially if they're ugly, but mapmaking is hardly pointless. hell, the most popular maps played right now were made by a community member (maimer).

I dont think so, people help me to test the maps, they host servers, I saw full server playing many times, when you get bored or curious you play anyway.

Also, I have an experimental server up right now, where you can upload a map at http://altitude.bluehawkdesign.com and it will show up on "Experimental Server" It's been pretty full all night, and it even kicks everyone out every hour to load new maps.
