screens are in progress

Then why are you releasing the title pack if everything is in progress?

Why everything? I don't made screens yet. I have to make that in the mediatracker and it cost many time

Your posts are very confusing:

".. a community project (finished); early alpha; only one map .... solomaps aren't (sic) compatible; the background don't work; we had 15 white maps but with the update (one month ago) ... broken ... incompatible..."

Why publish something which is not finished and is 'broken'?

Maniadesign... Listen to the helpful advices of the community. It's certainly up to you if you either wanna ignore them or take them account. But if you keep ignoring them, then your projects will never be successful

I am still wondering why some people are still helping you out although you simply don't make use of those great & valid suggestions.

Having something to show your work (here: screenshots) is absolutely necessary in nearly every occupation where you do creative things. Obviously, this isn't an occupation. But if you want to be seen as a professional (which is essential if you would like to achieve success), then I would highly recommend to create at least some screenshots. Other people create entire websites to portray their work (called portfolio) or create demo-reels videos. Addtionally, some guys need to be convinced before they download anything similar to some guys read reviews of games before they buy them. And creating a few screenshots does not consume lots of time. It requires a couple of easy steps to take astonishing screenshots of your scene, since we've got a very good render engine inside of the Mediatracker. Here are two tutorials:

Tutorial 1 - First post (by eyebo or Slamdunk)
Tutorial 2 - First post (by xrayjay)

If you want to spice your screenshots, then you can use the according softwares like gimp/Photoshop to do some colour corrections, adding some good-looking text etc

I read the advices and try to improve them, but it really cost many time to build solomaps (wallpapers are finished) and... everytime i write the same.
