Just make sure you pick the right directory unlike most people uploading there... :P 

Hello!

People usually use quaketastic.com to upload maps. Login info here: http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=3&start=15658

Also, here on func is news thread, just submit news with short description of the map, sceen and download link. So after news is approved it'll have its separate thread.

Hope this helps! 

A new headshot map, omg!
I'd be up for giving it a spin online if that's happening.

Not much multiplayer going on around these parts anymore, the focus has mostly shifted to singleplayer maps. 

I think even the dedicated DM players left don't care that much for new maps, though you may want to post it at quakeworld.nu for feedback. No review sites to my knowledge.

Of course, it's always possible to throw in some monsters and we'll be all over it. 

Thanks for the quick answers and great info! I just need to sort out a few niggles and then I'll upload a beta somewhere and post a link here, maybe we can meet on a server (Bal, anyone else?) and see what's what. The tricky part would probabaly be to meet there at the same time :-)

It'd be nice to get some feedback on balance and maybe sticky parts to clip before release. 

You can try posting here: https://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/12/maps-textures
Also if you are not afraid of new "tech" you can try Quake World Discord channel: http://discord.quake.world/ 

Just joined Discord, thanks. 

Awesome, also you can join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/3zgJQ 

Could this new EU-law affect func?
Anybody know something? 

My guess: Somebody would have to sue func i.e. metl, in order for anything to happen at all.
As there is nothing to win from that conflict, nothing happens and we all keep our status quo. 

Func could stop exposing everyone's IP address for a start.

It's funny how func doesn't require anyone's details or even an email address to create an account, but then exposes your ip on every post.

I guess that's why a lot of us use TOR when posting on func.

Well, otp hates me, so I must be doing something right. 

What specific harm could hit my devices, because of my IP-adress being revealed? Viruses homing in on me like a Vore-ball? 

Of course I'm not talking about viruses or anything like that. I'm suggesting that it's better to keep the user's IRL identity private by default, without making them jump through hoops if they don't want their actual IP address appearing every time they post something on this public forum.

I'm just wondering what displaying the poster's IP address is supposed to deter.

If someone want to troll / spam this forum then displaying the IP address does fuck all to stop them, because the troll / spammer can easily spoof it (and interestingly they don't even need an account to post (fucking lololol)) 

The IP address should not be published. It should be replaced with a hash of the address plus some salt. 

I don't know. But, because I'm outside the EU and this is not a commercial website, maybe not? 

Need to be careful how you do that, you'd need the server to store a distinct salt per IP. Otherwise an "attacker" could brute force the salt from knowledge of their own IP and hash, then use that to brute force the other IPs on the board. At that point you might as well just store each IP that's seen on the database, generate a unique ID for each one and tag each post with that. 

Sure. But what is the reason for even displaying anything there in the first place? 

I suggest we display our accurate geolocation data instead, along with our Social Security number and blood type.

The more social, the better. 

To be able to identify trolls. But I don‘t remember, might be a case of we‘vv always done it this way. For the record, I‘d rather get rid of them. 

All trolls hide their ip address because it's so easy.

If the idea is to say "Oh he is posting from a proxy / TOR node then he must be a troll" then that means legit users either have to live with their location being exposed, or accept their troll status i guess? 

Don't troll?

You're not witty, you're not funny, you're just embarrassing and a pain in the ass. Fuck off back to whatever shithole you came from.
