Nice work everybody.

Can't wait to start playing some of these maps.

Nice. Everything it turning out better over here.

Please fix the mission upload. Have it give some kind of notice your mission has been uploaded successfully.

Same as above.Would be nice too know if mission was actualy uploaded instead of being left waiting for days too see if it did :)
Other than that,this will bring the AA community closer :)Good job too all:):)
Look forward too seeing some great maps :)

HOOAH! Let the fun begin...

I need help getting the missions into AA, the faqs didn't work, please help me!

What do you mean? getting the missions into AA.

This is good, however I have one complaint.

If you wish to make AAME/AAMD a success, you guys need to watch what you even allow. No offense, but allowing a map like Iceworld shouldn't even hit Mission Capable, I just do not feel it's a worthy map. You guys upload everything you receive, but don't you think you should be a little bit precise and weed out the ones that don't belong in the first place like that, Paintball, or one the the {fX} maps?

I understand you need to give everyone their fair chance, but by not having a little bit of ruling, everyone with rushed chances and no real time spent on it are in... Even if it took them hours, it was their first time, they obviously need practice. Practice and time spent makes perfect, not trying to make as many as you can as fast as you can and submitting them all to Mission Depot and wasting time for others that really count and deserve the time.

Just because a map gets approved does not mean that you or anybody else must download it or play it. Let your opinion be knows by voting for the maps that deserve it and ignore those that do not. If a map is not popular with the community (many will not be) it will likely never be an honor bearing map. In the mean time by passing them through to level two, anyone can download and play the map and figure out for sure what is worth their time an vote accordingly.

I agree that many (most) of the maps that are level two are not worth the time to download. In time people will figure out that it's not worth it to submit junk because it will never make honor. Unfortunately the editor is a new toy and we as the community have to put up with all the lame attempts at mapping. I have no worries that in a month or so we will stop seeing all the garbage maps and start to see real quality.

-UB

yes so true.Everymap gets a chance even though they are lame as such.I have seen some maps in progress which totally blow everyone of these out the water.
Be prepared for jaw dropping maps guys :)

HOOAH! great job everyone!

can't wait to play some good maps :D

I understand having to be fair, but also think to us vets... I've been mapping for years, and these other 'fun' maps that make sense and are never going to hit the Honor stage are wasting peoples times and possibly stealing votes from maps like mine that very well could use them.

Theres new maps that took time even with bugs and errors, but have terrain, lighting, meshes, etc.; then theres maps that need to be weeded out before even being listed that are just boxes or very, very simple with no real even sense to them, like Iceworld and that blue boxed {fX} quick draw map.

I honestly have been letting my opinion be known, and I haven't downloaded or wished to play any of these maps. It's just the fact that they even get into being LISTED when I think before they're even listed on the site, even as only Level 1/Not Mission Capable, they should be looked at to see if they're really worth the effort, time, and votes.

Sorry... correction in my first paragraph above, I mean " and these other 'fun' maps that make NO sense... "

If they want to make maps that won't make it to honor, that is their choice. They can waste their time if they want.

However, I would approve of a 2-3 separate sections of uploads. I would put them like so,

Honor-Maps that want to be given honor status (This is where voting happens, not the other two)

WIP- Maps that are being made. This would help for player feedback and such as that.

Fun maps/not Serious-Maps that don't have a true purpose in AA. They can still be played, just not on authorized.

That would be somewhat a good idea.

Please fix the uploading of missions. Ive tried to upload my map over 20 times with IE and Firefox with no avail. Is there a size limit ? It just keeps going back to "Upload New Mission" page ,no Mission Uploaded or anything.....

~Frustrated~

LMAO, hey r00t4rd3d....
Im havin same troubles aswell like most i pressume.Yea roots map ppl have no idea how good it is.
Fix uploader everyday i check and still nothing its not like its a hard thing too check for new maps everyday, Devs come on guys:):):)

I don't think this site is ran by the DEVs. I Think its ran by another team in AA. I could be wrong though considering I am just guessing. But whom ever run it plz help us with the mission upload.

I successfully uploaded a test mission to my profile, it is a 340 k test file, My map is 19 meg the upload
script is timing out after a certain filesize, so i'm thinking you all should check with easydns and have your php.ini settings changed to support a larger file sizes or this won't work for mappers with average map sizes.. I have the same issues on my web host, but they set the php upload limit for security reasons and will not change it for me, I can only use ftp for site uploads larger than 10m.... Don't know if this could be the problem, but I've been through this and seen it before...

If you have had troubles uploading you map file, PLEASE TRY AGAIN!!.

It is my understanding the Pragmatic has fixed the problem and your larger files should be good to go now.

If not, post here and maybe they will try a new fix.

-UB

UncleBuck , nope. Still not working. My map is 13.7 meg unzipped. I just keep reverting back to Upload New Mission with no confirmation. Is there anyone at AAMD that I can email my map too ? This is getting really frustrating.

-r00t4rd3d-

Negative on the email, but I will look into it.

-UB

positive is muy bueno

Um, in the FAQ it states "Q. What if the comments from others help me understand how to improve my map, can I edit it?

A. Yes. Simply go to view your mission and make whatever edits you wish to the map. You may then resubmit your map for approval."

I want to know where I would be able to resubmit my final map version without losing my votes. I am prepared to resubmit from scratch if needed, but I'd rather not.

i can't upload my map too (30 meg)

yes my mission is only 8.5megs and it will not upload. It uploads for about 2 mins then IE says that the website probably has a error.

I have upladed a custom map on my server following what the FAQ said, but while connectiong I get the following message:
Required Training Not Completed
You must complete the proper training for this mission
What I'm doing wrong?

Plese help,

Paolo

Ok it seem like people are talking about two different things here. Some people are talking about uploading their custom made map or maps to mission depot website into their profile and it seems some others are talking about uploading their maps to there game server host like gameservers or SeeMePlayMe and so on. The problem I am having is that I can NOT upload my map to mission depot (This website) into my profile. At first it was that when I click the "upload mission" button a blank white page would appear and nothing else. Now they seem to fix that problem and it allows you to select where you map is located on your computer , Max players, Time of day and more. After about 10 to 15 mins for me it just goes back to the page where you select where the map is located on your computer or it times out and auto logs me off of this website. Could it be a firewall or router issue on my part or is it the website?

To play these maps you are going to have to join the servers by IP # example open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. At least until they fix this problem. Also even though these are "authorized" maps they set my server to unauthorized even though it is an authorized server. These maps do not show up in command post either, So I have to set the map in config at gameservers. I do not know if this is only a problem with GS I have made several changes to tours.ini trying to solve these problems, but they have not worked, Such as adding dependencies, tour icons (I used SF icon) tourtexttitle etc. These have not helped at all. I have searched my .ini files for other settings but no luck there either. I am sure these things will be worked out in time.

missions on server so far:
"prison stryke" - good but needs lots of work such as renaming the AI
"night fight" - nice map well done

The maximum file size problem should now be fixed, so those of you have issues, please try again.

Thank you,

HOOAH thank you admin, works like a charm...

Oh yeah , uploads are fixed !

hooah!

great work on fixing the upload problem, thanks a lot!

Looking great so far. Keep up the good work.

My map was on the list, first the Gallery was acting up, and didn't want to show more than one. Then it dissipeared off the list. It shows under my username (if you want to click [RAT]Stackout) that its there, but it isn't in the list.

Hum... This new system seems to be great but I wonder where is the list of things that the judges will take more into account?

WoW this Mission Depot really looks like its gonna be cool! Cant wait till I can just come and download a new map like this. Very cool everyone! Makes me wanna learn how to make a map.

It would be really useful if we could upload mission briefings right to the site or store the details with the map profile:
ASSAULT
1. SITUATION:
2. MISSION:
3. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
A. ENEMY FORCES:
B. FRIENDLY FORCES:
C. TERRAIN:
D. ROE:

I'm curious as to why alot of the re-make maps are the ones becoming "Mission Capable"? Is it because they are DEV made maps already with some minor changes that doesn't interrupt the process?

Not ranting, just curious..

This is a cool website.

Any news on new maps being made Mission Capable? Or any news at all on that front? News has been a bit lacking recently and an update would be nice!

[CHG]LongStone.on,

All you have to do is open the editor, select the "tools" on the top bar and then select "Briefing Editor" and you can put in everything you need. You can also title your mission there so it shows correctly.

yeap looking forward to some of the maps i have been looking at to be add to the game

2.8.1 is the best good work dont quit making them

Ok i like this game alot the maps are getting better all the time but i think u guys should make another levle that plays like border town that is one of the games greatest levels and you would have lots of new players because of it this is only a idea and it would keep the game going is all.

1)when i download a new map (manually) where i put it, in witch file, so when i open the game i can see it?
2)i try to download from DHCP but it sais to me "already updait it)... and i can't fine this maps from here (from the site) into the game... any idea?

sry for my english :-/

i can't get any of the maps to download
