Welcome to the
Monthly Track Contest (MTC) for
July 2024!
The MTC is a track building contest hosted by
TrackmaniaExchange which challenges you to build a map with a specific theme. Later, all the tracks are rated and a winner is found.
There are no prerequisites or qualification requirements to enter; just read the theme below, hop in your editor, and submit a track before the deadline!
Frankly, Trackmania has strayed too far from the true purpose of driving cars: driving for hours and hours on small, straight roads. Time to rectify that by making sure our maps don't stray from a good, narrow line!
Theme: On the Straight and Narrow
Theme suggested by pastek..! Thanks!
- The route must remain within a 3 block wide strip
- The route is specifically defined as where the car contacts (some clarification is in a post below)
- A 10% bonus to your score will be given if your route is only 2 blocks wide (I liked the bonus idea from May, so I figured I'd try it again!)
- There is no length or height restriction
- Block placement isn't restricted either, so you can still place blocks wherever you want
General Rules
- One entry is allowed per user. Multi-author maps count as the single entry for all authors involved
- "MTC" must be present in the track name as it appears on TMX. Example: "3 Lane Highway (MTC)" or "mtc - squeezed!"
- All entries must be built using the latest version of the game
- All entries must be built specifically for this MTC
- Blockmixing, Offgrid mapping, and Embedded Items are allowed
- Texture mods are allowed
- Royal tracks are not allowed
- Stunt tracks are not allowed
If you have any questions or would like to contest a rule, feel free to ask!
Submitting and Deadline
- Submit your course to the MTC mappack before the deadline below
- Submissions may be freely updated within the submission period
- The earliest deadline for submissions is the end of July 31st. Submissions will continue to be accepted until I officially announce closure in this thread
- Everyone will have 24 hours after submissions close to make any last minute edits to their submissions
- After this, you may not make any more updates until after the results are published
Prizes
- Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that. I wasn't around then, but maybe some of you still remember him? )
- The winning track will be featured on the TrackmaniaExchange front page!
Judging
- For judging, we will be using a public voting system
- A server will be opened for about a week that anyone can play the MTC maps on
- Anyone can vote by using the server's karma system
- More details on this will be provided in this thread once voting opens
Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread or in Discord! Now then, get to building!
