{sticky}[READ THIS] Sound Factory Submission Rules{/sticky}

If you are submitting a ambient sound to the Realm667 Sound Factory, please read these rules, and follow the submission template. It makes the job of adding them so much easier, and if a submission doesn't follow the rules, it won't be added until it does, or it could be flat-out rejected.

General Submission Rules
can be found on the left side of the page in the info box called "SUBMISSION RULES". Make sure to check the mouseover-tooltips for details. Categorie-specific submission rules can be found below.

Category-Specific Rules

• Use OGG, MP3 or FLAC for sounds. They are much more compressed formats without any (noticable) quality loss. There are several programs to convert to one of these formats, such as Audacity.
• Post a low-quality preview MP3 from your sound(s) (96kbps or below, at least 1 is necessary)
• Make sure it is a pk3 file placed inside a zip. Sort your content into apropriate folders so it is easier for modders to implement your weapon into their mod.
• Include a SNDINFO lump with all the settings for your ambient sound
• A maximum of 5 sounds per package is allowed, e.g. it's a "River" pack and there are 5 different variants in there, like a calm rivulet or a streaming huge river
• Only one type of sound per package, please do not mix for example fire and water ambience in one zip, but feel free to split them
• Huge soundpacks like "All ambient sounds from Doom3" or "100 sounds from various sources" will be rejected, it's absolutely no help for a mapper to search through such packs for the wanted sound
• Include information, from the template below, in both the submission post, and in the wad itself, in an INFO lump.
• Include credits. Like information, include credit information (from the template) in both the submission post and in the wad itself, in a CREDITS lump.
• Follow the template, below, in your submission post.
• Tag it as a submission. Use the right topic icons with an apropriate prefix, like the blue S icon with [SUBMISSION] in your title.
• If you are updating something already on the repo, tag it as an update. Use the right topic icon here as well with the purple U and a [UPDATE] prefix

Sound:
Put a preview sound. Use an file upload site like DropBox or just attach it to your post. Make sure it's a low-quality MP3 (96kbps or below). Feel free to post a MP3 for all of your files from the package but at least 1 is required.
