How to submit your Project to LFE-Downloads

[MH-Razen]

Edit: for a quicker publishing-process, you may skip the PM-conversation-steps that are mentioned below. Instead, prepare your work, post it in the Projects-section, receive feedback, improve, and finish it. If it has positive reviews, prepare an email with all vital files (see below) and send it to submissions(at)lf-empire.de. Thanks!


Hello guys,

I`m sure you recognized I`m not that active on LFE-Forums, well, this won`t change, but I still want to try to put some new stuff on the mainsite. Since my time is limited you will have to do some stuff yourself, but this shouldnt be to hard hopefully.

I try this system with characters for now, if it turn out well I`ll allow it for backgrounds etc, too...

Edit: Since the system went well on characters so far I also want to try this for backgrounds and weapons. Mods, stages and versions are a bit tricky cause they should be tested very carefully, so far you can`t submit them with this system.

How to submit your Character to LFE-Downloads: (Click to View)

1. CREATE A THREAD
Create a thread in LFE-Projects Forum and wait a few days to get some comments. I recommend to put some screenshots or so in this thread.

2. FIRST PM
If you got good feedback and think your character is good enough to be on the mainsite write a PM to me, add the link to the characters thread in the PM and ask if you can prepare him to put him on the mainsite.

I`ll check it out then.

If:
- I see some files are missing or
- Your hero is still in Beta (I ONLY publish finished heros!) or
- There`s no readme me how to install the hero or
- Bad Comments on your low-quality hero
You shouldn't write this PM but redo your hero!

Don`t write another PM after one day or two if I don't answer, if you get on my nerves it will only decrease your chances

YOU GOT AN ANSWER:
If I answer your PM and tell you you can add the hero - congratulations. If you don`t get an answer - don`t ask! I`m probably busy.

Well, if you got a go from me:

- Create a .png with the face-image of your hero,
name it to "YourCharacter_face.png"
[Example]

- Create a .png with some images from the hero in game,
name it to "YourCharacter_pic.png". Here`s the template:
   
Size and background-Color should stay the same!
[Example]
To create these preview-images a little easier, you can follow the instructions in this post: http://www.lf-empire.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=7017&pid=189868#pid189868

- Write a little description of your hero in english, just two or three sentences about the creation history, backgrounds, moves, techniques you used, etc. If you`re german I would be happy if you write a german description, too, if you`re no german I will do this for you.

- If you want a certain date in as publish date - note it somewhere

- Make sure the Zip-File of your hero includes everything needed! Add the following text at the bottom of your readme:

2. FIRST PM
If you got good feedback and think your background is good enough to be on the mainsite write a PM to me, add the link to the backgrounds thread in the PM and ask if you can prepare him to put him on the mainsite.

YOU GOT AN ANSWER:
If I answer your PM and tell you you can add the background - congratulations. If you don`t get an answer - don`t ask! I`m probably busy.

Well, if you got a go from me:

- Make a screenshot of a group of people fighting on your background without showing the pause-logo, you can use this EXE-File (1.9) which don`t show a pause-logo if you press F2:
  LF2-Neutral.zip (Size: 332.02 KB / Downloads: 937)
or simply delete the pause logo yourself with the ressource hacker.
Name it to "YourBackground.png"
[Example]

- Make a copy of the screenshot, resize it to 167x120 px and rename it to
"tn_YourBackground.png".
[Example]

- Write a little description of your background in english, just two or three sentences about the creation history and what`s special about this background etc. If you`re german I would be happy if you write a german description, too, if you`re no german I will do this for you.

Well, if you got a go from me:

[Example]

- Make a 460x120 px image showing the weapon in use, there`re no more specifications here, it`s on you how you present it best. You can also use the Neutral-Pause-LF2 so it`s easier to take good screenshots without Pause-Logo:

MH, you posted! It's a miracle!

One thing though:

- Send everything to lfempie(at)gmail.com (Thread, Zip-File, the two images and the description). You`ll get a note in the thread when I submitted it to the mainsite.

Am I mistaken or did you typo the email? :P

[MH-Razen]

yeah thanks Ramond, typo fixed

and for the "you posted" thing - surprise

[Madara Uchiha]

I don't know if I am allowed to post in this section, but I got to say I like the idea that's being put forward here.
Eventually could the same be done with mods and stuff?

I try this system with characters for now, if it turn out well I`ll allow it for backgrounds etc, too...

Also good idea to add some new stuffs in mainsite,as the last char addad there has been one year ago.

[Simoneon]

Hey guys, you can also PM me if you see that MH is busy... If it's a low-quality hero though, I will not put it (As MH stated).

Hope that helps, Razen

I thank you for your offer, but suggest the following: Guys should still send their pms to me, if I`m out of time I forward it to you, deal?

[shin hanazumi]

sorry for bother, i know you are very busy MH, but can i extract it into .rar file?(not .zip)

[Electric2Shock]

you mean compress it?

[Whaat]

If you mean compressing, it's recommended to use .zip instead or .rar since .rar needs an addinational extracting program when .zip doesn't.
