Uploading a Wad to a different site

Recommended Posts

Considering my Wad is over 50 mbs in size, contains trademarked/copyrighted symbols, and has un-original MP3 music implemented (all which the /idgames archives said it doesn't allow), where is a reliable site I could upload my 270+ mb megawad to?

Ohhhh okay, my bad.
Well then a couple things, 1st: Where (Edit: On Doomworld) can I get started uploading my Wad?
2nd: Along with the Wad and text file, may I also include stuff like: q2tex.wad, cc4-tex.wad, and skulltag_actors.pk3 in the zip (those are the things that are required to play my wad)? Or do they have to be downloaded separately?

I think it's bad practice to upload/include entire texture packs with your PWAD. Either make a custom texture pack with only the ones you actually used in your maps, or just write in the TXT file which other files to download from /idgames that contain the necessary textures. Otherwise, you're just bloating your file with redundant/unused stuff.

As far as MP3's, no comment except you better hope that RIAA/MPAA don't catch on to /idgames, because then a lot of stuff will disappear overnight (maintainer may just delete them all instead of sorting to see which ones are commercial music and which aren't). I think MIDI and MODs (protracker-type music) is a much safer bet... Plus they're a lot smaller in size.
