Greetings Civ4 Creators,
the following is a guide on how to use the Apolyton resources to publish, announce, discuss, receive feedback for your work
Discussions/Feedback
When working on a file you may post preview and beta versions in this forum. Try to keep to it to one thread per file, and keep the first post updated with the latest file info.
The subject should be prefixed with the file category (Graphics/Map/Mapscript/Mod/Python/Scenario/Utility) in square brackets (for example "[Mod]")
If you want to have your thread title changed to reflect a new version you should
PM Gramphos.
Directory
Once a file is concidered sufficiently finished you should submit it to the
Directory.
Simply browse the Directory and go to the sub-category that you want to add your entry. Click the
Add link choice on the menu. Fill in the form and submit.
Your entry will wait for approval by our staff before showing up on the Directory. If we take too long, feel free to
PM Gramphos.
News/Announcements
You can submit a news item to the
Civ4 Creators CivGroup (which you should
join to promote Civ4 modding and show your creator status!). It may be accepted in it's entierly, or grouped together with other smaller newsitems on moderation.
If you decide not to post a news item an note of new files will be added to the next grouped files announcement. You may also submit news to announce updated versions of your files (just try not to submit news for every single fix you make
).
File Upload/Screenshots
When posting screenshoots it's recommended to use the
Upload Service since it automaticly creates shrinked (800 pixel wide) versions and thumbnails of images. (

For your creations it's good to use the forum attachments as they keep a download count.
For any questions, please post here.
