After going through a map's pre-publication evaluation, you can publish your map in many ways:
- When your map is all done, You can upload it at some useful websites, so that other people can download and play it.
- A list of file hosting websites is available here.
- On the other hand, if you do have a server of your own that you could store your BSP file on, you could use the sv_downloadurl commands.
For example, if you create a sub-domain on your website mymaps.example.com, then set the following command on your server:sv_downloadurl mymaps.example.com
This would tell clients connecting to your server to directly download the BSP file from that url, instead of directly downloading from the server. - You may wish to contact news sites to publicize your map's release.
- If you've created the map for a game with Bonus Maps UI, then you may wish to package it into a BMZ for easy import.
