Title pretty much says it all...

To log into the addons pages use your forum user name and your password then and only then will the butt5ons or links to add to the system work.
You cant add to the addon system unless you are logged in.

OK Now?????

Got it, thanks.
I logged on before, but for some reason I didn't see the tiny link, which by the way is called "CREATE", not upload or submit...
A bit confusing...
One more question...
Why do they only mention GPL v2+ and not the latest GPL v3, which by the way is more comprehensive and offers even more Freedom of Software guarantees?

Put in a request for it to be updated via staff PM or a ticket.

And just how do I do that??

I uploaded the map, but it's not yet showing in search, by both name or author. I guess it takes a while???

EDIT: Got it, it's up and available for download.
I would very much appreciate your opinion, Berg.
Thanks.

All addons have to be approved by reviewers we need to check them for errors so we don't have broken mods and maps for each version

Step 1: Make a new topic here. For example call it "Doruletz maps"
Step 2: Describe your map if possible
Step 3: upload your map (click on upload attachment)
Step 4: Dont forget to upload a screenshot of the minmap. An ingame screenshot would be very nice (showing the base for example). If the key for screenshots dont work for some reason use fraps.
Step 5: Wait for comments before you upload your map to the addon section (at least 2 weeks)
Step 6: Dont wait for a "thank you". Thats not the tradition here. Ask the development team if you don`t believe me. :lol2:

Thank you for your suggestions, montetank.
I already got 3 of my maps approved, and although I'm never waiting for a thank you from anybody, I always welcome one...

I downloaded the maps. Please upload the maps also here in the forum for discussion please. Technically i see no mistakes in the work. Good job for the first maps. (I tested the 2 player map).
