First Time Map Upload: How Long for Approval?

[bassuck]

Hi Everyone, new to this community and uploaded my first map a week ago.

Not that it's urgent, just curious what the map approval process is and how long I should expect it to take?

Hello. There's currently two map reviewers. Depending on each's real life time constraints it can take a while. Until then, the map is publicly available to anyone, anyway.

Do note that for approval, if said map has issues, those issues needs to be resolved and map updated with the fixes, and then the reviewer needs to get another round of review. This review cycle can repeat if new issues keep arising between fixes, so it is best to analyze potential bugs (especially glaring ones such as crashes) in advance when adding new feature while in pending queue.

How long for review varies, and as pointed previously, there are only 2 map reviewers. Map Reviewers usually review from the older ones to recent ones, though they may also prioritize maps that are more in line with their expertise.

To add, it depends on what type of map and if you need people to join to test that map.. So, there is alot of things that go into a map review.
