How To Post On Bungie.net

I really wish they would re-word that rule.

It's quite simple. Upload it to your fileshare, go to b.net, go to your file share, click the link of the specific map or gametype you're posting, and use that over here.

It seems more complicated than it is.

 

Then don't remove your map from your file share. As far as I know, there isn't a way to keep your map on Bnet without it being in your file share at the same time.

 

I think it may have something to do with your Bungie Pro, though I'm not sure what.

 

I believe it stays available even when removed from your fileshare if:

A) Someone copied it to their fileshare before you removed it (them simply uploading the same map is not enough, you will need to use their link in this case, the above only works if they use the 'Copy to my fileshare' option)

B) It is included in a fileset, though I believe these are pruned every once in a while so the link will probably break eventually as well.

I could be wrong on both of these, but I believe I've heard of people finding their links still work even after the map is removed from their FS using both these methods.

 

I know this one is incorrect, as I've had to constantly update my forgetacular file set when I remove my map from my fileshare to update it.

 

If your file does have to be in your fileshare, then what happens when you get to your fileshare limit of 24 with Pro? Do you then have to start deciding which of you map links you want to remain active on Forgehub?

 

You'll have to get lucky like Mr. Green and find a way to have a file on Bnet without it being in your fileshare.

 

Yep, like others have said it will have to be in a fileshare. Doesn't matter whos, as long as its in one.

 

Files will only stay linked if they are in a File Share. Notice that I said a File Share. If someone out there is nice enough to download your map and put it in his/her File Share, then the link will remain working. You could also put it in a File Set, but these are "sweeped" by Bungie every once in a while.

Now, about the Bungie Pro thing. Bungie Pro does not give you the ability to keep links working after File Share deletion. I also doubt that, if all your file slots are taken on Pro, your maps are of any quality. Making 24 maps that all play well and have an equal amount of testing done is a miracle. Don't expect to actually have to worry about that.

 

Are you kidding me? Another thread where we have to explain that you can not share a file if it is not in your file share?

Its like trying to fill a bucket of water, you turn the tap on and you have to keep it on until the bucket is full. The bucket isn't going keep filling with water if you've turned the tap off!

 

File sets aren't sweeped. Once the file is removed from your fileshare, it is also removed from the file set. You can "see" old versions of deleted maps in a file set, but they will go to an error page. For your second point, you also have to take into account of making specific gametypes for your maps. One map could have several specific gametypes (for different objectives, etc.).

The only problem with this, is that Mr. Green does have a link to a map that isn't in a fileshare.

 

The map posting rules have been reworded for a bit more clarity and simplicity.
