Ok gang...Due to the HIGHLY popular topic in the general discussion regarding fans/users/players creating their own map art for submission, PGI has said that they are "considering" accepting fan submission for map content. However, they are still somewhat undecided at the moment. I want to create this thread specificially for this purpose.Here is the discussion thread that we were talking about this:*******************************************************************************This thread is created for fan art submission for MAP CONTENT ONLY and discussion of said ideas so people can discuss them!!!Here is what we are looking for:If you are creating MAPS for possible consideration, here are some of the ground rules we're going to start with:1) Maps created must not have any 'questionable content'. Don't design fields that when seen from above they spell out swear words or no rocks that look like genitalia or body parts.2) Maps created must not have 'illegal' or 'copywrited' content. Don't use 3D models of other stuff ripped from other games from the Crytek or other games that are using that content. ALL CONTENT MUST BE ORIGINAL CREATED CONTENT!!!3) Any content submitted here will be considered 'Labor of Love' content. What this means is that if you create any content, do not expect any compensation for it other than in name only. That means it's yours in name only, but that you are submitting it to specifically show PGI that the users/fans/players can help create MAP CONTENT that is on the same quality if not better than PGI. We want the best quality you can provide.4) Please note that PGI is discussing legal ramifications to determine if fans can submit content. At any time they can come here and announce either a GO or NO GO on this. Either way, anything submitted here is your fan content and because submitted here, PGI might or might not use your content you've submitted. This does not mean they will or won't, but I'm putting this out here so people understand that this is strictly a FAN CONTENT thread only to submit maps and map content for possible use for PGI.My intentions are that IF we can show PGI that we can help create maps on the same level or better, they will set up a program that will allow fans to submit their own content, and possibly in the future provide us map software that will allow fans to create their own maps in the future.Guys, this is not a place to post your complaints of grievences to PGI about stuff. Nor is this thread to be used to place anything other than map content for consideration and fans discussing ideas for map considered here. For example, if you have an idea to help a fan artist here create a map or suggestion, this is where it goes. This is not place to ask PGI or give PGI suggestions on THEIR MAPS that they are creating.Again this place is strictly for fans to show off their map content.Some ideas to help for submission:- Pictures are nice- Video is even nicer, like stuff from youtube of your map as you move across it to show the map itself, with different possible camera angle views of the map, and commentary from yourself or notes to describe the areas.With this said, if asked from PGI, I will update the top post to ask for rule changes to the main post.If at ANY TIME PGI decides to change their mind and take this over, I will be happy to close this thread down and let them take over.And if possible, I would prefer if this could be pinned, please?Thank you and we look forward to your submissions to see if we can show PGI that fans can create decent maps too!
