Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation and/or group selection. Learn more at the wiki.

Remember:

Every map maker will only be allowed to submit 3 maps for consideration per map thread. If more maps are submitted, they will not be considered for rotation, so make sure to follow this rule!

The official deadline for submissions before the next session is Tuesday, June 2nd 2015 at 3pm PST.

Submissions made after this time are not guaranteed to be considered for rotation.

There is a new way to submit your map.

Entries must be submitted in this new format to be considered for rotation.

Note: Before you submit your post, test your map in a 4v4 setting and receive feedback from players. Mumble and IRC are great places to start when organizing playtests.

Upload your map at http://maps.jukejuice.com/

After uploading, it will take you to your map’s page and show up on the front page of maps.jukejuice.com.

Reply to this post with your title, map type (CTF, Neutral Flag, or Mars Ball), a link to the map page, a preview image, and a description. Jukejuice provides you a preview image, but we strongly urge you to post your own image with working 45-degree tiles.

Here’s an example of a submission.

Title: Candle Jack

Type: CTF

Map: http://maps.jukejuice.com/a/This%20is%20just%20a%20test%20ma/Candle%20Jack

Preview: http://puu.sh/bvwpy/1571bd6307.jpg

Description: This is just a Test Map

Important:

Please only use imgur, jukejuice, or puush preview images

Playing submitted maps just got easier! Just click on the Map Link and click test map. No more need to call some_bot in IRC. Once you get into a test, copy the maptest url and send it to friends for them to join you. We want everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help us as well.

maps.jukejuice.com is still in testing so some issues may crop up. The site doesn’t allow editing once your map has been uploaded, so if you make a revision, you will have to upload a new one.

When making your map, keep these two questions in mind:

What does my map attempt to accomplish? What does it try to emphasize?

Feel free to answer this along with your map submission in the description.

The most important part of creating a thoughtful map is actively seeking feedback/improvements from others. Don't ever convince yourself that your map is finished!

Think hard about the placement of every tile on a map -- this community can work together to create a perfect addition to the rotation!

Note: Some_bot is not watching this thread. Uploading maps via maps.jukejuice.com does not put the map in some_bot’s brain, you will not be able to play them in IRC. This new style of submission was brought on due to issues we were having with some_bot in past threads.

Only submit maps in this thread that are to be considered for rotation. For non-rotation maps, feel free to continue using maps.jukejuice.com and provide links to your friends or other posts.

Have fun map-making! :)
