Upload only the files players need
Do not include executables, installers, hidden payloads, unrelated archives, or private server secrets. SourceMod plugins, configs, maps, HUDs, sounds, models, materials, and scripts should be packaged plainly.
Public beta
Upload rules
Keep release files safe, clear, and useful for TF2 Classic players and server owners. Uploads are scanned automatically and may be held for staff review before they appear publicly.
Describe what changed
Every release should have a version number, changelog, install notes, and any dependency or compatibility notes needed for TF2 Classic.
Use work you are allowed to publish
Pick a license, credit collaborators, and do not reupload another creator’s files unless you have permission or the license clearly allows it.
Expect staff review during beta
Automated scanning and AutoMod notes help staff triage releases. Severe scan results, missing metadata, or unclear ownership can hold a project until fixed.
What staff may remove or hold
- Files that trigger malware or unsafe archive checks.
- Uploads that do not match the project description.
- Projects with missing licenses, misleading screenshots, or no useful install notes.
- Reuploads of another creator’s work without clear permission.
