MTC May 2015 - gnivird sdrawkcaB [Res. P.4] 2015-05-01 11:49:34  


    Welcome to the ManiaExchange Monthly Track Contest (MTC), May 2015.

    In the MTC, your task is to build a track on a given theme (see below). Later on, all of the entered tracks will be rated and a winner will be found.
    But first, let me take a....watch our amazing new trailer made by Adsun: https://youtu.be/MxHhH46XNZE :cool:

  • Theme of the Month: gnivird sdrawkcaB
    Build a map on which you drive entirely backwards.

  • Deadline
    All tracks should be submitted before the end of Sunday 24th, May2015 PDT (To give our Americans a last full day to built too)

  • Prize
    :gold: The winner of this MTC will be chosen as the author for the new ESL Author Cup. (more information in this news)
    :gold: Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that. I hope anyone still remembers him? :p)
    :gold: Top 3 tracks will be featured in the News section, getting extra spotlight.
    :gold: The winner will receive a showcase of a track of his choice (< 10 awards)

  • Rules
    • You have to use this clip to force a backwards camera (Save it in: "Documents\ManiaPlanet\Replays\Clips", then open MP and go into the mediatracker of your map. Click on import clip to load it in the mediatracker

      And choose "backwardscam". Don't forget that you have to place the trigger on the start block.
    • Custom objects allowed
    • Envimixing allowed
    • Blockmixing allowed! Just make sure to build no flickering textures because they're ugly.
    • Custom Titlepacks are allowed
    • No PressForward, PressBackward or pressAnyKey maps
    • 1 map per author
    • Include the sequence of letters MTC somewhere in the track name so that it can be easily discovered on mania-exchange.com.
    • To enter a track, simply upload it and post a link to your submission in the Submission Thread
    • Don't forget that you have to place the checkpoints the other way around now with the arrow pointing in the direction where you came from ;)

  • Judging
    We'll use the judging system of the BASCO 2014:
    • Everyone is allowed to judge, even players who submitted a map (just give your own map a 10)
    • In order to judge you will have to fill out a form and enter your name in a list on mx to verify your judging. Details will appear after submission ends
    • Every map will be judged with marks from 1 (bad) to 10 (good).
      Try to take the theme, creativity, the route and the scenery into account for judging. You give points for the whole map after all ;)
    • Note that you have to judge a stage entirely, you cannot judge only half of it.


    Good luck, and as always: If you have any questions, please ask :)

Is a track allowed too where you drive pf for the first seconds and then your car makes a stunt and turn backwards?

My idea was you drive forwards for some boosters, hit something which makes your car do a 180° turn and the rest is backwards driving, so just 4 seconds or so pf at start..

Finally! Backwards driving is damn awesome on canyon!

may the clip be adjusted to a "default" bacwards camera?
since I hate to drive on internal cam...
