Moderators help manage and verify new map submissions.
- Verify the automatic validation
- Test each new map to make sure there aren't issues that need to be resolved, and that it's playable
- Verify the map is not an "old spec slot" map (with unplayable player slots)
- Check for any problematic content or descriptions
- The validation bot will automatically post a comment that contains substantial information.
- The validation bot links to a
map-preview
asset that is automatically uploaded, containing a 2d preview image of the map. - Old-fashioned "spec slot" maps (where player slots were manually constructed to be unplayable - used prior to the introduction of proper spectators support in Warzone 2100) should not be approved. If they are the only variant of a particular map, they should be modified to remove the old unplayable slots.
Moderators can perform the following action commands when operating in a map submission Issue:
If something gets stuck, or a user modifies the (optional) Map Description after an earlier validation occurred, a moderator may request a re-validation by adding a new comment with the contents:
/replace validation
Note: There is no need to manually request a validation if someone issues a
/replace map-upload
and uploads a fixed map - a validation pass will automatically be queued.
To approve a map submission, the map must first have passed validation (i.e. the bot should have posted a validation with the Status: Pass
).
In this validation message posted by the bot, you'll see instructions on posting an approval command as a new comment:
/approve
