Map Registry

To submit a map to the archive, please fill out the form below. Then send your map and any release notes you would like to include with it to [email protected]. If you can, please also include a .bmp (PC) or .gif (Mac) version of your map for printing, preferably showing 1K grid lines (either TacOps grid lines or grid lines that you've drawn). This will make your map useful for CPX or MBX games.

Feel free to pre-register your map even if it is not yet completed. This will reserve a slot in the archive for it along with a map number to alert other designers that your number is taken. Hopefully, this will help avoid the confusion of having a lot of different maps floating around with the same number.

Please check the Map Archive above to see if the number you want to submit is available. If you like, I will issue a number for you. This will help me in managing the archive, plus I can try to reserve a block of numbers for you (say, up to 20 or so) to be used for any future maps. I will still request, however, that each number in the series be applied for on a map by map basis.
