My map got postponed for RTB-ness because Ephi said that the bump texture was invalid; "."
What is a bump texture, and how is this caused?

That happened to me with The Jumps too :P It was funny because Spaceguy and Ephialtes were posting problems with my map and Ephi was like "if you can't fix these problems your map will be failed".

All I did was edit the Mission so that the bump texture was ""

We're talking about being able to download the map picture, not the textures.

Actually, I'm talking about textures too.

I ran into this problem when making Valhalla. No one was able to DL the textures. When I switched to png textures, everything was fine.

You serious? I'm pretty sure that .JPEG stuff can be downloaded. After modifying The Jumps and posting it to RTB I joined a server with the old version and had to download the map picture, and it was a JPEG.

I love this tutorial. I actually understand Mission Editor.

Thanks. Mission Editor isn't that hard to figure out though :P

That may be why the problem didn't occur. Clients weren't getting the map from RTB, it was coming straight from my server.

Since the v19 update however, I'm unsure if this problem still exists.

It is if you don't know what you're doing. I've used Mission Editor before, and I figured out how some stuff works, but the tutorial taught me the rest :)

I've made a couple of maps and eveybody who's seen them like's them.

Oh, I see. Hopefully Badspot changed it... I like me JPEGs.
