The submission page has been upgraded to help us more fully automate the game submission and validation process. This thread is to help explain the changes, and make sure the community is aware of the new locations and submission requirements of the new pages. The pages can be accessed from the upper left menu of any page on the GOTM website.
--------------------------
GOTM Submissions: http://gotm.civfanatics.net/submit/gotm.php
- Accepts SAV and ZIP files for the save upload.
- Requires all fields to be filled out before the submission will be accepted.
QSC Submissions: http://gotm.civfanatics.net/submit/qsc.php
- Accepts SAV and ZIP files as the save upload.
- Accepts TXT, HTM, HTML, and ZIP files for the timeline upload.
- Requires all fields to be filled out before the submission will be accepted.
--------------------------
All files are renamed automatically when uploaded based on the rest of the input. This will allow us to link to the files dynamically from the information which is stored in the database. Until we can implement a login for the pages, it would really help if all players would submit with their forum logins (case sensitive). Otherwise automatic generation of Global Rankings and games played lists may not include all your results in one place. (ie. PlayerX and player_x would be treated as seperate players, even if the submissions were from the same person) We are currently in the process of going back through past results and trying to reduce the naming variations as much as possible.
Also the version info for your game is very important, as the saves from PtW won't load in Civ/Mac, and vice versa. The version you are playing shows up in the lower left corner of the Civ/PtW startup screens.
If you run into any problems with the new submission pages, please contact me through PM or email.
Thanks,
Aeson
Also we've set up an automatic page to log all the submissions made for the GOTM21 and QSC21:
Month 21 Submissions Received
We will be adding another column to the tables to note whether there have been any problems with the submissions by the end of the month. You should receive an email and/or PM from a staff member if a problem arises in any case.
