The Readme For Your Map
When you release any user-made assets (whether it's a mission, mod, or whatever), it's been a convention for a long time to include a text file that provides some standard information. Always do this. Below is the basic setup that you can just cut and paste, then edit for your own file. The only other thing to remember, really, is to name the text file the same as your file, i.e. filename.txt.
Download this sample readme.txt (right-click then "Save As" or click to view then "File==>Save As") and please, please don't forget to modify it with your map's particular info. :)
