Welcome to the
Monthly Track Contest (MTC) for
August 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!
Sometimes I feel like we forget that Trackmania used to be a simulator*. To get back to being grounded in reality, let's make some grounded maps.
Theme: Grounded
- All blocks must be placed at (or otherwise pass through) ground level
- Items or blocks placed off-grid must physically touch/intersect the ground or a ground-level block
- Generated blocks (such as wooden supports) do NOT cause a block to be considered at ground level. Check the highlighted region of the block (such as when holding ctrl) to see whether it's at ground level or not
- These restrictions only apply to the route. Scenery can be placed anywhere
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: "MTC - Flatland" or "flying low | mtc"
- 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 September 3rd. 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!
