  • Hello Trackmania community, I want to start a simple yet interesting project, and I need help from all of you!!!

    NEXT TO BUILD IS:

    What will it be?
    My idea is to build a map together, everytime this map is downloaded everyone is free to build his part of the track, the goal is to see what will come out after 10 or 11 builders modified the track


    General Rules:
    -This track will be named [BTPFTP]vX where X is current version, as I upload the first map, it will be [BTPFTP]v1
    -The first next version to be released is considered the official one, and can be modified by other builders
    -To build your piece simply reply to this thread by saying "I'm next", you will then have 24 hours to upload your results. If you don't upload the new version in 24h you will lose your priority.
    -Post your work in the Beta Area Beta area will be used until v12 https://tmnforever.tm-exchange.com/?action=trackbeta
    -Every time a new piece is added it will be tested by the other builders that will decide if there are flow-killing parts.
    -This track has not a definite style, but it's the builder's quest to blend his work with other builders'.
    -You can add your own scenary part, another fix will eventually be made when v12 is on.

    Building Rules:
    -Each builder can build 5 seconds of track, this means that v1 will be a 5sec map and v4 a 20sec map (go faster build more )
    -To modify a track simply replace old finish line with a checkpoint
    -In case the previous builder left multiple finish lines you have the right to choose which one you will delete for your CP.
    -Try to not exceed 400 coppers, we want to keep this as playable as possible
    -Do not destroy other builders' work
    -No TMUnlimiter, sorry but it's simple to make this project work without it

    After building:
    -When v12 is released we'll proceed to make intro, outro, scenery and all the secondary stuff.
    -After this v12 will be posted on beta and builders will be able to send their replays of the full map
    -The fastest one will be the map's GPS (with credits, obviously)

    This project will finish when 12 builders have worked on it, this means a total lenght time of 1m
    Thank you for your attention, hope someone will like it and help me through this!!!

  • I'm in too.

    When does it start?

    2 suggestions:
    - Use the beta area until the map is ready. (v12)
    - To avoid frustration: The first who adds a comment like "I'm next" gets to build the next version.
    Giving a time in the comment when finished would be nice of course. (max. 24 hours)

  • Perfect, i wrote the things you PMed me, if there's still something unclear please tell me
    Anyway this first version is already on, so the first to type "I'm Next" can begin to build his piece
    About intro/outro i suggest making it at the very end, maybe with all the builders' names as the camera goes forward

    Thank you elaus and Grondo for being the first to believe in this project

  • ONE BIG Problem:
    You put 2 finish blocks in the v1 version ==> I should add 2 checkpoints.

    I think one finish should be deleted?
    What do you think?

  • You're right, I would say in this case you have the choice to del both or only one and leave the other as false finish, i will now make it clear in the building rules

  • Ok. I'll replace the left one with a checkpoint and will delete the other.

  • I'm done. This is v2:
    https://tmnforever.tm-exchange.com/main.aspx?action=trackshow&id=6921309#auto ==> removed from the beta area (just to avoid floading the beta area with BTPFTP versions.)

    I didn't add any scenery. I think it's better to do this in v12.
