The reason I ask, is because I go out of my way to credit authors, and maybe I even type too much in the read me . . . but, it seems to be edited out?

I noticed on Tusken Raid, and on Hillbilly Mudbog some important credits were truncated or cut off, and my friend H@ngm@n did not get credited, at least not on the portion you can see when previewing the map and description.

On Hillbilly Mudbog:

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4621

This is IN the readme, but not on the page:

Models by H@ngm@n: Terrain, Fence, Outhouse, Moonshine Jug & Coolers
Bitmaps/textures by Slap Happy & H@ngm@n
Sounds and Custom Mountain Valley Sky by Slap Happy

Thanks to AlliedRacing.org, and JustRace.org – and all members for beta testing.

On Tusken Raid:

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4435

This is IN the readme, but not on the page:

Special thanks to:

- H@ngm@n for the Sand People Hut ("Urtya") and many hours of beta-testing
- Ragnarök for theme consulting and beta testing endurance
- Necrobrain for very good gameplay, weapon and vehicle balancing advice
- About 80 beta-testers who had way too much fun playing with lightsabers in King, and raced wildly and gave good feedback on vehicle handling and namely those members from AlliedRacing.org, RatedRGaming.com and teammod.org for fun filled beta-testing of about 50 hours of game play testing. Special thanks to Allied Racing clan and members for numerous contributions.
- Star Wars Mapping Team, SWMT and Jay2645 for not releasing their Arc Hammer, Hoth, Endor or Coruscant Star Wars maps before this one! :) Thanks for the delay guys!
- Thanks also to George Lucas!

If the error was mine, I profusely apologize to my friend H@ngm@n, but I didn't see any size or character limits posted regarding the readme and what you show on the page.

He was critical to the development and creation of both of these maps, and deserves credit. If possible, can you add him as co-author as it is displayed, if you cannot/wont/dont edit what is on the page?

Pretty please? Thanks to you if you can, but many endless thanks to H@ngm@n as well as credit where credit is due. He is a friend and I would not knowingly leave him out of the credits.

This is a map archive and we only post information about the maps and the submitting author. I encourage authors to place attributes, thank you's and even your life story if you wish in the readme files and/or the forum but on the website we post the information about the map, tag, model or utility.
