Map Description

Released: July 2001

My largest released map to date and also (of my releases thus far) the most complex. Layout is a bit too loopy, but architecturally I think I got a pretty good recreation of the original Black Mesa feel.

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but on the beta version of the site, the images for the map spotlights were set to load randomly from their assortment. Now they load the same images every time. I liked that feature, can you bring it back? -or if it's a bug, 'fix' it? I like it so far for the latest maps area on the right!

Thanks, I'll take a look at it, sounds like an issue with the new flash uploader.

If you go to the edit map page the old-style form is still there so you can get the file uploaded for your map.

When uploading a map for HL:DM, it gives me a page saying "upload validation failed".

Also when i'm at the register page for creating a new account (no problem i won't create a new one, i just forgot i had one and i came there) the Snarkpit logo is a bit messed up.

I am using IE8

Hmm I think that's actually an orphaned feature! You should be able to control the order of the maps using the 'featured maps' section on the top right of the edit profile page.

The select box for a featured map was made redundant when I added that new system... think it just hadn't been removed!

Selecting a map in your control panel 'edit profile' page to be your new 'featured map' does not apply it as such in your profile (or at least it didn't for me after 3 tries).

There are some out of place threads in places, eg maps not linking to the correct discussion thread.

Let me know of any you spot so I can fix the entries... thanks.

Should be ok now, fixed the file/mirror check when beta is selected too (thanks, hadn't noticed that!).

Yeah the backend is half finished m8, sorting it now.

A map needs to have had at least one rating before showing up. Not sure why, but there was probably some reason for it. It's just a small change to the SQL query to alter the behaviour though.

So I uploaded a test map under the game: Left 4 Dead and while it uploaded properly, I had to post a mirror even though I selected the 'Beta' option. it wouldn't let me click submit unless I uploaded some map file. So instead, I just put a link to my website in the mirrors section and it let me click the submit option then. I thought we made it so that if you select 'beta' option, you aren't required to upload any map file, just an image?

Anyhow, it uploaded fine, but it's listed as the only L4D map under that game (which is also a 'featured game' on the map's front page. But under doesn't list that one map (although clicking it brings you to a filtered screen with the map included. -So the map is uploaded into the DB, and sorted and whatnot, but still not showing up on the map's front page? -What's the criteria to have a map appear there? -I thought it was any map under that game randomly selected?

-Map upload bars worked fine! :hee:
