As you may know it's only possible to upload 10 maps on each account. It means that people who only have 1 account (like most probably) have to decide which 10 of all their maps they want to publish. I think that's stupid. Now in my opinion it would be really cool to have someone you can just send your latest maps/version and they would publish it. Simple and fast way to get more than 10 maps out in public. Now of course for that to work there have to be people without intention of creating own maps, hence some free mapslots who are willing to do some extra work for the sake of all the people who'd like to play all those custom maps.

The other thing is that you can only publish maps on Bnet of your region. So that's where it's starting to get a bit more complex, because suddenly one mapmaker might need 3 or more uploaders. I seriously have no idea if it's even possible to find a hand full of people willing to do this, but as long as it doesn't cost to ask I think we can try it.

So what can you do in this thread?

- First determine whether you're looking for an uploader or you'd like to offer your services as one.
- If you're looking for uploaders, clarify how many you need and from what server(s). If you'd like to be an uploader, say how many slots on what server(s) you can provide.
- Everything additional is kinda optional. You can list all your maps, link to your Map Thread or give a quick introduction of yourself.
- After you found someone you can exchange informations/links/messenger names per PM.

What you shouldn't do in this threat!!

- Please don't spam this thread with descriptions and pictures of all your maps. Keep it simple and manageable.
- Once you've found someone, don't post download links, exchange informations etc. in here. Do all that per PM or some messenger. This topic for the search of people only.


Here's a short example how it should look like as a provider:

I can offer my account (EU) with 5 free slots to someone who likes pie just as much as me. I like pie very much. First PM gets it.


And here's an example and at the same time my own application:


Hi, I'm a parttime mapmaker from Europe and I need more slots on EU, a few on US and possibly on Asia. My current mappool contains at the moment 7 maps with one in the making, so 5 additional slots on EU and 10 on US&Asia each would be perfect for now. You can find all my maps here.
My suggestion for sending the maps would be with a link via PM. I'd be very glad for some help. Me would thank long time.

Cheers FTR


Ps. Please don't misunderstand, the intention of this idea is not to give other users your account informations so they can log in and publish their maps, but for the creators to send you the maps so you can publish them. Also 10 slots = 1 person.

Tutorial on how to publish a map:
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
You can find the option "Publish" under File.

[image loading]
1 - You'll probably have to login with your Battle Net account.
2 - Set Release to "Public" and Revision to whatever the creator tells you. Not very important.
3 - Set Modus to "Locked", that prevents other people from downloading and changing the map.
4 - If needed, you can change the publishing name of the map here.
5 - This is the field where errors may be listed. If the mapmaker did everything right and you followed all the steps correctly, that shouldn't be the case.
6 - OK GO! You now started the publishing the map and if everything's right it will upload the map to the server.

Now if the creator wants to update a map you'll have to delete the old version from your space. Nothing easyier then that:

[image loading]
Click "Manage Published"

[image loading]
Mark the map that should be replaced and click "Remove From Account". Now all you have to do is type "DELETE" in all capital letters into the box and repete the publishing part with the new version of the map.

You realize that even if other people host it on different regions, no one will be able to play that map unless it is on the popular list? And even if they host it themselves, no one will be able to join their game?

The system is broken, and so I would not spend much time publishing across regions until it is fixed or Blizzard is made aware of the problem.

So what you're saying is that people shouldn't play custom maps? If they're not on the popular list we shouldn't even try to get them there? Also you can just search for maps and host it for playing with friends. I already played some of my maps over Bnet. After reading your whole thread I really don't see what it has to do with anything here, sry :/

As long as you know the name of the map and you're more than 1 person you won't have any problems with playing on the map.

sure no one will join the game, but that not a problem for melee maps since most of the time when you are creating a melee game its so you can play with a friend/practice partner

in anycase I'll offer up 3 of my US slots to the first person to PM me

Nice idea.
I offer my 5 slots on EU so we can play more of those maps which are currently on US only.

This is a great idea. Until blizzard fixes their horrible broken custom map service, I will be willing to offer my 5 slots on the US server. I'm not sure how to upload the maps though, so whoever wants me to upload theirs should let me know

Edit: First come first serve. I won't be able to upload for at least another 18 hours (tomorrow evening, US time).

Edit2: Successfully uploaded 5 maps for FlopTurnReaver. If you see a map published by Meta, know that it's his creation and I could never hope to create anything that good

Whoever made battlecraft seriously, it's not on the SEA server, only some really old beta version that sucks and you can only build 4 different units. Someone pm the link to battlecraft and I'll upload it.

I think i'm misunderstanding your idea.

How does someone publishing a map I made (that isn't on the top 50 maps) allow me to play it? (assuming all 5 of my publishing slots are full)?

If people are volunteering as surrogate map hosts, putting their 5 slots up for charity, unless they're currently hosting a game, I can't play it.

So for example: If i have 10 maps I like playing (again not on the top 50) and I want to play the 9th, and 1 random person is a surrogate publisher, how does this help me play more maps?

Does this surrogate system rely on people hosting games of their surrogate maps? If so I I think it will rely on the individual to seek out maps that they like to play, rather than hosing 5 random maps off of TL.net.

Please clear up my confusion!

Thanks

I seriously have no clue why so many people are talking about the popular list etc. This system makes it possible for people to play custom maps of which they know that they are published. They can use the search, host a game on that map and play with friends. I know, the chances are low that you can just upen a game and some random person will join.

Thanks for all the people willing to provide their slots so far, just looks like noone wants to upload their maps on the other servers :/

All the guy's doing is making it so people can publish more maps, take it as it is. Obviously the popularity system is broken, but if people hear about maps for example, on the tl.net forums they'll start playing them and if they're melee maps for competitive play then people will test them. If they get used by tournaments a lot of people will play them.

However, this is mainly people playing with their friends/clan/team/practice partners. It's a way of getting around the popularity system.

BTW, if anyone wants 5 slots for maps on the NA server, send me a PM If I was ever going to try to make some maps (probably not), than it'd be so far in the future that they'd have hopefully improved this system by then.

I don't make maps, so I'll gladly give up my slots to get more customs uploaded. I'm on EU.

Also it would be nice to have a little how-to on uploading maps in the OP, as I and probably others who never intended to upload don't know how. I'm sure it's super easy and intuitive, but still.

I've got 5 mapslots for the US server.

Just pm me and I'll get back to you asap, at school during the day though.

also, I'd prefer to host melee maps like some really good iccup maps, so idk I guess I'll just see how many people respnd to this.

I think your misunderstanding is that if someone else publishes your map then you can't play it if it's not on the popular list? As far as I can tell you're able to create games from any publicly published maps. Not just your own. So you can still just create a new game on the map by searching for it.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

I heard that many people, especially around the time of the MotM competition, were looking for people on other servers to upload their maps. Since this thread is a bit older I figured that people probably either forgot or never knew about it.

Hope it helps some people.

I'm looking for someone who's interested in publishing my latest map Neonights to the US region (and other regions if people are interested in doing so).

I'm looking for ideally a very active member of the community, as I've collaborated with a few individuals in the past and (no offence to any who read this ) they either seem to randomly go AWOL on me or don't respond to PM's/emails as fast as I'd like.

So basically I'm looking for someone with no life, knowing your way around the map editor is a bonus but not essential - if you think you fit this description, I'd love to hear from you!
