Need Ideas - Spotlight / Roundup Suggestion System
I remember that Valve actually had a voting GUI implemented in the game (which I'm guessing they are going to add this properly in the DLC. Or maybe it was just something they used for testers).
Would be great if they implemented this in for custom maps which is linked to the map page. Don't know what they wanted to host the maps on though.
This is a possibility.
Time it took to complete the map [. . .] number of time killed to complete [. . .] number of portals used.I don't know how much of that would really be useful. If you want to help playtest maps, your best option is to record demos and send them to the author, and/or post Youtubes of your playthroughs.
Please do not Private Message me for assistance. Post a thread if you have questions or concerns.
If you need to contact the staff privately, contact the Global Moderators via Discord.
Speaking of youtube, at the end of the map you could game_text it up and put something like: 'Please make sure to rate and comment."
PortalStories.com
"Oh, in case you got covered in that repulsion gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the repulsion gel."
I hate when youtube users shoehorn that into their videos and I think I'd be pretty irritated if Portal 2 maps started doing that too
I wonder If we could intergrate a link to the forum into the end of a map. Possibly rate the map in-game. A little nutts maby.

It's a good idea, if it wasn't just a link but a message to rate the map at the TWP website I would think it would alright. There is a web browser for Steam to get on the internet while in-game.

I give your pun a rating of 3 out of 5.
EDIT: About the ratings, tf2maps.net has a topic every month for suggestions. I guess that could work. Except that a lot of people would vote for themselves... Or bribe people to vote for them... BTW Bribing is rude and evil, so don't do it.
