Dedo, you really want to check dates before you post something up. This 'fix' doesn't fix our current problem: afaik, the publishing servers are down, period. The fix was only for a way earlier version of the beta in P1 when the hostname for EU players was indeed set wrong.
Everything else in this thread is right, though - I always lol when I look at custom games and see 12 Blizzard maps and Chesscraft there. Whoever actually made that map is getting some huge popularity now.
There's some stuff regarding FPS-cam play, aye, but let me ask you - how many doodads are you on? I've found that in a larger map (say, 5v5 DotA/AoS) you can easily fit at least 2000 doodads without getting any lag in normal cam.
Aye, EU (GMT+1, which I'm on) seems to be between 6 and 8 hours ahead of USA. USA time being the time Day9 does his casts and Husky uploads his stuff. Usually, they do those things in their afternoon, which tends to be around 5 in the morning here. I wouldn't stay up for it, unless you plan on pulling an all-nighter.
You need the... game attributes or game variables option. I can't look it up for you now, as I'm in EU, but the option allows you to set the 'modes' of your game, allowing you to manually turn it into a fixed 2v2v2v2, AoS, or whatever you want. Play around with those options and see if you can get it.
I set out to make my map perfect. I am a pretty strong believer that as long as your map is good enough, it won't fail. You need to enter it and IMMEDIATLY be grabbed by that feeling saying "Damn, this is awesome!". I have the luxury of being a pretty objective person, allowing quite carefully to judge whether my own creations have this factor. If they don't, it means something in my map is flawed - whether it's the concept, the terrain or a simple bug.
The shame really is when you make a map that isn't perfect, but just pretty damn good - and that doesn't get played.
That's for all the positive replies, folks! Looks like I'll have to stick to it =). I'll try and handle some of the terraining subjects in the tutorial request thread soonish.
Long conversation incoming, but this warrants posting.

[20:52] <ProzaicMuze> I want to be able to separate messages out by subject
[20:52] <ProzaicMuze> As in create my own folder or even a "Favorites" method
[20:52] <ProzaicMuze> So that I can move important messages out of pile
[20:52] <@vjeux> do you have that much PMs?
[20:52] <ProzaicMuze> More like I'm going to
[20:52] <Helral> He get's that many pm's cause his name is PM in short ;p
[20:53] <@vjeux> xD
[20:53] <ProzaicMuze> I can easily search by unread, but I've got at least 6 different teams I'm doing work for and the messages are beginning to flow
[20:53] <Mozared> Now if only he were female the PMs would suit him
[20:53] <Helral> hehehe
[20:53] <ProzaicMuze> I want to be able to move those messages out of th e"ZOMG I KENT DO UR TUT HELPZ ME NAOW" messages
[20:53] * ProzaicMuze raises an eyebrow
[20:53] <ProzaicMuze> For all you know I could very well be a sexy, veluptuous woman
[20:54] <@vjeux> hmm,make a favorite folder in your browser i guess
[20:54] <ProzaicMuze> Psh
[20:54] <ProzaicMuze> that's for smart people
[20:54] <ProzaicMuze> I'm dumb
[20:54] <Helral> PM: you've got a lot of PMs problems?
[20:54] <ProzaicMuze> make life easy for me!
[20:54] <@vjeux> got 199 conversations lol :p
[20:54] <ProzaicMuze> Oh yeah. . . I hate teh cramps :(
[20:55] <ProzaicMuze> I bet if I went to another site, they'd have message sorting capabilities >;D
[20:56] <@vjeux> but they wouldn't have project management
[20:56] <ProzaicMuze> Xp
[20:56] <@vjeux> which is far more important :p
[20:56] <ProzaicMuze> So?
[20:56] <ProzaicMuze> They'd at least have sorted messages!
[20:56] <ProzaicMuze> And that's my current priorty
[20:56] <@vjeux> messages are sorted by date
[20:56] <ProzaicMuze> I can worry abotu projects later ;P
[20:56] <Helral> is project management that important?
[20:57] <ProzaicMuze> "Do you really want project management?"
[20:57] <@vjeux> hmm, you are right, we should have focused on pm management instead of projects!
[20:57] <ProzaicMuze> Now you're talkin'!
[20:58] * ProzaicMuze grumbles and goes back to fumbling through PMs

In that case;
Mozared.266 - EU
If anyone's up for a couple of games, some general practice or a custom map (once we can actually upload them) - let me know!

I got a friend to help me out. Shamefully we weren't succesful in achieving anything. Has there been any kind of blue news on this?

It doesn't work?
Upload Error: 7/10/2010 6:01 PM, Connection to publishing service has been interrupted. Please try again.
Are the upload servers down? Is anyone else experiencing problems? What's going on? Should I panic? Run around my house screaming?

Mozared - EU
Can't seem to find my identifier? Not showing up anywhere? Do I even have one?

Very tempted to say "Icwutudidther", so Icwutudidther.
Also, I know jack all about modeling, but that looks pretty damn epic. .
(You can skip everything past the first 4 seconds, in case you didn't get that)

It's probably just the beta being bugged. I'd give it a day and try again tomorrow.

Needs more blatant girl-on-the-web style of advertising.
Try 'Stranded on Korhal', 'Matchmaking', 'Unearthed Secrets' or 'Vendetta'. You can find all of those in the database here.
