Fellow racers, im having some weird issues with my newly made map that i've spent countless hours on.
When i play the map in "map editor" everything is normal. However, when i validate the map and open it in "local""my maps", All the shadows are either pichblack or white-ish. When i send the map to someone else to try it, the same thing happens so my PC cant be the problem. What is the problem here or why is this happening? would be extremely happy to get this fixed.
Thanks in advance!

I have found the problem, it only happens on large 265 base maps. I would have to copy pase the map to a smaller basemap using macroblocks for it to work. however, its only possible to make small parts of my map into macroblocks and place them. When i try to macroblock the whole map or bigger parts of it, im not able to place them. I see the macroblock in the selection, but when select it, it only shows one red block that i cant place. It doesnt even show the size of the macroblock like normally before placing.
How does this make any sense?
These problems are so random and surely there has to be some way to do it.
Are there any fellow mappers that can help me?

Hi The forums aren't used a whole lot, as you may have guessed by now. May I recommend jumping on the MX Discord, Trackmania Scenery Hub, or Trackmania Mappers Assembly? Surely someone there will be able to help you.
