Mission Submission SOPs

{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}} {{#invoke:Message box|mbox}}

General

Once a mission is complete and ready to be submitted, the mission maker must ensure that the Mission Requirements are fulfilled, as per the Mission Requirements SOP for ARMA2 or ARMA3.

Missions which violate the Mission Requirements will necessitate a “strike” on the offending mission maker.
Three strikes effects the suspension of automatic acceptance of new missions in lieu of quality control by the Mission Making Office.

The mission maker is then expected to upload the mission to the /final directory on the game specific SRV3 (Test 1) FTP. Information regarding how to access and use the FTP is provided in the mission making forum.
The mission maker is expected to update the appropriate mission list with the pertinent information.

Updates to existing submissions must include a change log.
Edit existing entries when providing a new version (update) of a mission, rather than creating a new entry.
Your submission's description field must contain a summary of your briefing. At a minimum: who are you, who is the enemy, what is the mission?

Submissions will be transferred to the play servers at the Mission Making Office’s leisure and review.
Submissions which are not SOP Compliant will be rejected, and moved to the Rejected category under New/Updated.
