You cannot make new threads in this forum. A new thread will be automatically created for you when you upload a file through the Download Database. The contents of your upload's post will automatially be made into a thread, so that forum users can comment on your download here on our forums.

If you have any questions, concerns, bug reports or ideas about our download system, feel free to post them!

While you're at it, it wouldn't hurt if you included a README.TXT with install instructions for your map! We get a lot of "how do I play the map I downloaded" questions, and again including this file would help end users play your map.

Thanks!

I am working on a better solution to this issue, but in the meantime, please be sure new uploads (including updates) have unique filenames. Thanks.

So, as stated, compression is your friend.

Just a note: It appears that you can't upload VPKs either.

That is correct, Winston. VPKs are not an actual compression, they are just an uncompressed storage mechanism that the Source engine recognizes. So you will still need to upload the VPK into a RAR/ZIP/7z. You can also include your Readme.txt in the RAR with your VPK as well!
