I get a ton of messages regarding this, so I'm just going to make a post about it.
First off, the map can be whatever type of map you want. Don't ask me for ideas, don't try to recreate existing maps (some of them are not even that great). I try to keep the style of the maps somewhat consistent because, for example, a paintball map in the underwater city of Atlantis just doesn't make sense. There are no size constraints but a map that is 100x100 is probably way too small and a map that is 2000x2000 is probably way too big.
You do not have to add any scripts, spawns, flags, or invisible walls. I can do all of that myself. However, if you want to place markers to suggest locations of flags or spawns you can do that.
You can't use the Terrain service when creating a map. Terrain is stored and copied differently than bricks, and quite frankly it just looks ugly.
I will give you credit, it will display your name when the map is selected in game.
To submit the map you can publish it to a place slot and uncopylock it, or you can publish it as a model and I can take it. Send me a message with the link in the body of the message and give it a relevant subject like "Map Submission."
Before submitting any map.... think to yourself "Is this map equal or better than any of the current maps on Paintball?" If the answer is no, I suggest trying something else. I'm not trying to be mean here, I just get frustrated when I get 10 map submissions a day and they all consist of a baseplate with some free model bases and random bricks that were thrown down in Build mode. You are only wasting your own time. Please try to make quality maps. Downtown is an example of a map that I made that defines the quality I like to see. It's not super complicated. Danger Close is a relatively small map but it has a lot of features that make it a good map. Some of the other maps... are... not bad... but kinda yucky. |

| Does that mean if a pro builder makes a map and it's better then all the others we can't use it? |

@ToonU
No, there are some pretty mediocre maps on there too. Compare it to Hillside or something :P |

| Or a map that's like inside a volcano... or whatever. Any place you wouldn't typically play paintball in real life... or find FPS games... |

| Paintballing inside a volcano would be cool, then after a set of time the lava comes and the survivors get points. |

| Daxter, can you reply if the map anybody has submitted will be added? I am honestly a bit tired of waiting in suspense. |

| I sure hope many people send in good submissions. I'm tired of playing the same boring maps over and over. Maybe make more modes, too. |

| I have ideas for modes, maybe a first to capture flag B base, best out of 51 tags, survivor mode where it's last person standing. |

Maybe there could be some different team types like 2v2 or Juggernaut, etc. Sorry if this has been suggested before and you've said not to do it, but I find the continuous blue vs red is boring. |
