Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
File Submission Rules and Requirements
When you download a mod for Red Alert 2, you like to know what all you gotta do to install it, right? Well,
here at Volrath's Castle we have a set of guidelines we require that you follow when submitting files to Volrath's
Castle. We want to ensure that the visitors that download content from this site will not have any problems using
the files that are posted here.
I have derived a set of rules that must be followed when submitting files. I have given more examples on how to
package your archive that you are sending, but not all of them are required. If something is required, it will have
an asterik (*) placed after it.
THE EVALUATION QUEUE
We use a specific evaluation queue process to help ensure that files get post ASAP. The process initially starts
out with me recieving the file. I scan the file for viruses and make sure that all package requirement were completed.
Then I start coding your package into the appropriate pages they belong.
Once I have done this I send it out to my testers and reviewers. Once the file has been rated and test, then I
post the rating on the site. Until a file is rated, I can't tell you the quality of the package. Now, this is the best way that I have figured to get files posted, and I don't want
to disrupt it either. So, in the event that a requirement was not fulfilled, you will be alerted of what item are still
needed. You'll be given 48 hours to aquire required content, after that period your request will be dropped from the
Evaluation Queue and you will have to re-send your package.
INCOMING FILES E-MAIL ADDRESS
All files you submit are only accept at the following address:
files@volrathscastle.com
All files are to be sent to that address unless specifically requested otherwise. Failure to do so will drop
you from the Evaluation Queue immediately!!!!!
