Hi guys

My clan and I are currently playing Arma3.

As you can see on our website the custom map we have running has no screenshot.

What would I need to do to make this show.

Many Thanks

Go to your server page when you are running the map and you will find a link below the map image to upload a custom screenshot.

Alternatively you can search for it in http://www.gametracker.com/account/manage/map_upload.php

Hi mate

I submitted the screenshot on the 14th Sept, it's now the 23rd. That's nine days and the guidance says it should take a maximum of 7?

Is there a backlog or have I just wasting my time with this?

If you go back to http://www.gametracker.com/account/manage/map_upload.php you will find a list of your maps submitted. It will show that it was approved or rejected, and usually contains a brief reason with it. If it was rejected, I would recommend reviewing the guidelines listed on the right of the page before submitted an image.

Oh yes, so it does LOL.

It says rejected for the following reason:

Rejected (Altered/branded)

Why would that be?

By far the most common reason is having some sort of text, logos, etc on the map image. eg. If it says "fpsbanana" on it in the corner, this is branded. Similiarly, if it has added text such as "Burn's Arma server 1.2.3.4" it will be rejected.

Ahh, I see.

Well just to explain. The map is one I have made myself from scratch using the Arma 3 editor.

The screenshot I took myself and it definetly isn't owned by enybody LOL.

The map is called "Operation Chemo" and that is all it says on the image :o)

Do any of those things contravene the guidelines?

Can you take the text off and re-upload?
