J said he had a good starting map, so if it's posted here within 24 hours, we'll use it
otherwise we'll start with a blank map

So, here is my map. 4 stripes, a lot of circles and 5 emiters. No title, intro text, totems, artifacts, survival pods and upgrades.
It's possible to cap 3 emitters in 30:00.
nice, finnaly no. 4 I'll be helping of course. just give me a few hours...
Edit: sorry, no, its gonna be a few days...
Edit2: Okay, refere to post #4 on this topic.
Should I start with another map and finish this one by myself?
Spoiler
A map that have some flat terrain
sorry, i've just been doing other stuff...
i made the totems, some starting text, upgrades, and a lot of stuff i don't remember, oh, and the creeper is white and the mist is right for white so don't change it. i did not test it but it should actally be easier then what it was before.
How about a green background with red and green circles?
yes, that would be nice. But maybe find a differant background since some of the circles are going to be green.
Oops.
I mean a dark green background
Spoiler
Like a christmas tree
yes that would be a good back. just do it and we'll see how it looks.
The background isn't ready yet but here is the edited .cwm file.
I edited the background settings and added techs.
I wish more people helped... It souldn't have waited this long thepenguen.
You know what? I should just pm anybody who worked on one before.
I wanted to help, but I've been really busy lately.
I'll try to see if I can get some stuff done really fast and try to help out.
hey, uhh... J? i don't think we should have all the tech out. if you look at previous community maps people apparintly didn't like it. maybe just the drone, since thats a more powerful one.
I will delete it in my next map.
next map as in next time we edit this right? i'll do it as soon as i can.
new vers.
Why you have changed the creeper color?

(the tree is on fire) (the creeper is a simulation of heat ;))
I'm sorry, I've been really busy cleaning the house up for Christmas and have been trying to finish my own series of maps before the end of the year, and so I have not had any time to help out with the community map, but I'm going to try and do something on it tonight.
Wish me luck...
Come on penguine...
Not much done, added some walls to forgive us slow builders...
But also added another hidden emitter for the unaware.
No, it's not under the city.
Here it is!
Changed some little things and updated the background.
The circles would be red, green and yellow.
Please post background idea's!
something that looks like it is on fire

As is the description, as is here: -_-
We could just try and make the creeper into the Grinch. How about that?
Only changed something about the background.
Don't use this one if you are working with 4.06

Freeze rays.
Ever see the blue outline?
mmm... please...
new copy (a few changes that may or may not be good)
in the graphics that middle stripe needs to contrast the other colors more. i'll post an updated map soon, but i can't do graphics...
ok.... there are many things wrong... for one, the graphics can't be made with the lines around them, those get added in the actual editor. second, 4.061 has fuzzy graphics, so we need to fix that. i fixed some stuff in this ed. i just need to go now so i'll do some more changes later.
maybe this should be map # 4000!
only ~300 more maps till map #4000

Then lets get to making it epic!
I don't have much time to edit the background, so I post it now as attachment.
voila!
I think we really need to post it now. Only the title and intro text. (allways the hardest part of the map =P)
i can take care of that. just wait for a bit, i'll have it up in a few hours (i need to go to my swim practice, then i'll work on it).
Woah, we've only got ~3750 maps
~250 left to map 4000
Here it is, all fixed up with the title:
(someone will need to submit a score first though)
we gonna do something? i might submit a score soon, but i don't have the time right now. so come on.
I submitted a score 2 weeks ago, so it should be fine.
oh, ok i'll go submit it
Edit: tomarrow, i'll submit it. i got what i'll put so i got it everybody
no, let's try to make it map #4000
Map #4000 is close , so why not wait for that =)
I think it would be nice if the community map got accepted as the #4000 map .
( Map acceptors should notice this , so it does . )
Ok, I'll submit it like 5 maps before. I'll post in it somewhere as the 4000 map.
Please not there are no maps waiting for review. So we may have to wait 20 days if we want it as map 4000.
so, we all create more maps then!
20 days is ok i think.... somebody help spiff on submiting a score... i know he has a lot of maps that still need one to submit. that'll get a lot
He he , i usally dont use much time on making an map that i can post with an score =P
So you might think about someone else that might need help with that ;)
( And i dont have any maps that need an score to be submitted =P )

Here it is :
I'll try to post up my three maps soon, one needs to be beaten, the other two are still in the planning stages.
my series is continuing
#3 is pretty good, though it needs to be better
this has become a spaming place for new maps....
The community map is finnished , so this thread is'nt spammed .
Just chatting during waiting =P
An new thread ( main post ) will be made for the community map #5 ,
so not an big problem i think .
Someone might wanna start the next community map soon ?

Hmmm.. KILLER-XXX reported a similar problem a while back. Can you please attach the file to a post here and someone can look at it?
i did
in the post where the image was.
it probably has something to do with hosting it here... or something
Well doh!. The file upload parses wrong and the . in the file name is parsed to be the delimiter for the file type. so it passes 08.cwm as file type and 4 as filename.
I think this might even be a PHP-related bug, since usually those variables are already parses when the application gets it.
I'll alert Virgil to this and he can take a look.

huh??!!?? all i got was its a bug...
It looks like the problem is actually in the javascript validation on the upload page. If you go to the uploadmap.php page and then view source, you'll see a check_extension javascript function that is responsible for poping up that error dialog. Looks like it uses a regex to try to determine the extension.
so is there a way to fix it? because i just tried to upload another map and it did the same thing. and the map is exported out of creepermap, and its filename does end in cwm.
What is the filename?
it was 4.08.cwm, so I renamed it 4k.cwm
That is the error precisely. There can be no periods in the file name portion.
So 4.08.cwm is not valid.
But 4dot08.cwm is valid.
This is an mistake in the Javascript code on the web page that manages the file upload.
