Upload Guidelines

This server does not have unlimited capacity, visitors do not have unlimited patience, players do not have unlimited tolerance. That's why I ask everyone going to upload a file to respect the following rules.

• Only upload packages which took a reasonable amount of work. Please do not fill this site with stuff everyone could create within a few minutes.
• Please do not upload files if you have own space in the WWW. Submit links to your files, instead. If you have an own website, submit one link to your site instead of links to every single file.
• Take care on file size. Try to make the package as small as possible. This will reduce used server space, download time and traffic caused by downloads.
• Take care on usability. Prepare the contents of the package to minimize the work necessary for the player to make it work.
• Take care on quality. Localizations should be complete, including manual and tribe scripts. AI modules shouldn't crash frequently etc.
• Do not assume files on the players system that are neither part of Windows nor available from the C-evo files section, e.g. MFC runtime libraries.
• Do not distribute modified executables. Such hacks would not be compatible with others of the same kind and become outdated with every new game version.
• Do not distribute things which are already contained in the standard game package. This applies to files as well as single items, e.g. unit pictures.
• Do not distribute copyright protected stuff, except you have the author's agreement.
• Include description and credits.
• Keep in mind that you have uploaded something to the C-evo site. If you lose interest in maintaining your files some day and they become outdated, please remove them from the list.

You should only upload ZIP files. The upload procedure automatically names the files as .ZIP. Of course, you could upload files of another type and ask the downloaders to rename them, but please don't do so. The file size limit is 1 MB.

In case you want to upload a nation pack, you should additionally respect to following:

• Do not distribute artwork in a nation pack which is not being used by the contained nations(s), i.e. there shouldn't be pictures in the package which are not referred to by the distributed tribe scripts.
• Do not distribute modified standard files. If you wish to use graphics which are not part of the standard package, create additional file(s).
• Each graphic file "xyz.bmp" should come with a credit file "xyz.credits.txt". The authors listed there will be displayed within the game credits list. For the credit file syntax, see the credit files coming with the game package.
• Be aware that your nation expansion pack might not be the only one installed. Try to avoid file name conflicts by using unique names. For example, name the distributed files like "Romans_YourPackageName.tribe.txt" and "Nations_YourPackageName.bmp".
