Map Gab / Sub-Terrania maps

« on: September 13, 2011, 09:30:38 pm »

Hi. Been awhile since I made any maps.

I finished mapping (from scratch) the Genesis game Sub-Terrania, which was incomplete on vgmaps.

I figure I'll submit them here: easier to get feedback this way.

Map Gab / Other VG maps on the web

« on: August 22, 2008, 08:49:31 pm »

There are a lot of good maps out there that for whatever reason aren't on vgmaps. Some of them are linked offsite from the atlas, some aren't. Is there a policy on this?



Let's share links to mapsets that aren't on vgmaps, or not yet complete. I hope that Jon at least adds links in the atlas (don't need permission for links), so visitors can consider vgmaps the place to go for any and all VG maps. Maybe in the future if those maps are remade especially for vgmaps, the links can be removed.

Mapping Tips/Guides / Getting maps hosted on gamefaqs

I don't mean to start a flame thread against GF but it is clear they have a bias against non-text files. I have had perfectly good work rejected, with the excuse along the lines of, "There's no content here/there's not enough in it."



(The map in question was this one, which I made a long time ago:)

My question is, anyone have any tips, or even negotiation tricks, on getting map submissions approved there? I have no love for gamefaqs and I wouldn't care except that GF has far higher visibility than vgmaps.



Case in point, all the feedback I've gotten was from GF traffic and one guy even asked me for help mapping a game that was already fully mapped here. (FF Dawn of Souls)
