I enjoy making custom maps, but have a hard time finding people to test them with. So, I have searched TL for a chat room for people to test new maps on. I haven't found any, so I will make one.

I am using the chat room map testing in the hopes that people will join and test maps. I would also like to test other peoples maps. Whether they are UMS or 1v1 maps.

This is on the NA Server.
Chat Room Name: map testing

The map I want to test now is just a 1v1 7 stage ZvP micro battle with small objectives. I have plans to make them for other match ups. So I want to check that this one works properly. Then I can copy over the Triggers to other maps. Also it needs balance testing.

You can also use channel "motm" -- Map of the Month. I try to go there whenever I'm in case anyone else is looking for fellow mapmakers.

Thanks, I will check there too.
I am also finding that you can get people in the Looking for Custom Games channel.

This is a champion idea, and I'm mirroring your effort on EU. Channel "Map Testing" if it's not already in existence, and I'm looking for 7 people to help me test a small positioning/upgrading/teamwork/unit control map. Sounds complicated but isn't.

Aye, invited 6 dudes from SC2Manager that were interested.

The only time there will be more than one person in there, is when people don't join it, see no-one, then leave instantly. Just chill in there.

EDIT: The more I think about this, the more it annoys me. Of course there was only me in there, I had just made it, and posted about it in one thread in a fairly unread section of a forum that doesn't exactly have the widest map making demographic that's interested in help of this nature, as the ones that do, already have testing partners.

It's ok, I'm just good at taking things completely the wrong way.

I know that sc2mapster.com has a chatchannel (sc2mapster), at least in EU, it should theoretically be the same for NA, although they won't be really crowded as well.
There are mapnights both in EU (friday) and NA (i believe friday as well, but im not sure), where people can test their maps and most of the time you can get an inhouse going even for large maps, so that would be a good place to get people testing your maps

Edit: For NA, the channel seems to be sc2mapnight.
