Map Access

Upload map

Please read before uploading:
broodwarmaps.net has been created to offer a fast and easy-to-use way to put your melee maps online and gather them in a huge database.
The users here are willing to help you improve your map if they find weak spots, but they do not have infinite time. Therefore please do not upload more than three maps at a time, even if you have dozens of them on your hard drive. That is regarded as spam, and the maps might even get deleted from the database. Instead visit your mapthread regulary after uploading a map to let a real discussion happen, and update your map to improve it.
Plese remember your map password, so you can edit the map whenever you have an update of it. To save webspace on the server it is preferable to save the map and images with the exact same name every time you upload it, without the version number in the map name. Also please choose non-trivial names for picture names, otherwise you might overwrite some other person's image file accidently.
Happy mapping :)

Maximum file size for maps and pictures : 500 KB. Only post maps as scm or scx Files please.
Please follow some name conventions for maps:

Always use the (x) prefix, x is the number of starting locations of course

The last 7 characters should always be either '(n).scm'/'(n).scx' or '(o).scm'/'(o).scx', (n) for Melee, and (o) for Observer maps.

Pay attention that the mapname is not too long for the map to be played, using 'space' is no problem, though.

- Example: (4)Mars Attacks(n).scx

Melee
Observer
Picture

Name of the author of the map
map size. First number is width, secound is height

Password for the map
Tileset

Explaination of the 'maptype' options:

-final: A map made by yourself or someone you know that you consider finished. May have been played in some online league already.
-beta: A map made by yourself that is not finished yet. Maybe the comments to the map help you improve it. (beta!=alpha, the map should already be playable)
-experimental:Maps that are not made for standard melee play (shared bases, maps that use triggers, 8 player FFA maps...)
-classic:Classic Blizzard maps and former professional maps belong in here. For example: Lost Temple2.x, New no way out, Hall of Valhalla, Silent Vortex, Incubus...
-league:Pro-maps that are played in competetions these days. Examples: Nostalgia, Luna the Final, Requiem. Also maps that get played in BIG foreign leagues.
