Hey guys  Welcome to the  Monthly Track Contest - September 2011
... In the MTC, your task is to build a track on a given theme (see below)
all of the entries will be rated by a group of judges and a winner will be set
The MTC:
This Month's Theme: The Future Forever
you have to build a track that represents your vision of the Future TMN-F
with all this talk going around TMX - about TM2, creativity and whatnot - I think it's time to make a stand
and show the TM-world why this game is called "Forever" ^^ let's take a step forward into the future Forever!
The Prizes:
The Winner gets a showcase track of his choosing, on the TMX Front page.
if you have some extra coppers to spare, go ahead donate to the MTC, to make the MTC more interesting ^^
donations: 76.000 Coppers O_O
The Rules:
there are NO restrictions in this theme ... just show us your vision of the Future TMN-F
I think this is the first time in the history of MTC when the theme has no rules whatsoever
but I still have to make a list of things allowed, so that everything is clear for everybody ^^
- there is NO restriction on track length ... your track can be as long as you want it to be
- all styles ARE acceptable ... build your track in the style or mix-of-styles that you want
- you CAN use custom signs, textures (mods) and even sounds, whatever you think it fits
- block mixing IS allowed, of course ... just be aware that judges might not have TMUnlimiter
a little guide to help you in your Futuristic quest ^^ :
check the Modding forum here on TMX, if you are not familiar with using a mod in TM track-building
check the RPG mods site, or the DDStyle mods, in case you want to use a mod, but make sure it works
check the Mania-Creative tutorials, to help you understand more about the Editor, MT, etc.
check the TMX track releases that made a big impact in TMX, especially the last months
you can't build the future without looking at the present ^^ so make your research
but, on the other hand, bring your own ideas to the table, break away from the usual
the winner track must be one that inspire us and make us look forward, into the future
The Deadline:
This Month's DL is the Sunday the 16th of September 2011
Additional Rules:
- The track should be build for this month's contest,
any already existing tracks (released or in the beta area) will be disqualified.
- You may submit only one track,
make 1 post in this topic with the link of the released track you're submitting in the contest
- Make sure the track can be finished/played by everyone
take care of speed issues, respawn issues, online/offline issues, and so on ...
- Name your track "TrackName (MTC)"
where < TrackName > is whatever name you want to give the track, example: "The Tornado (MTC)"
(as long as the "MTC" is present in the name of the track, you're fine!)
- The track must be uploaded to the exchange between (and including)
1st and 16th of September 2011.
The Judging System:
Creativity - 10 Points possible
we're here to see a glimpse of the future for TMN-F, creativity is what we're looking for, go ahead, impress us ^^
Scenery - 5 Points possible
variety is the key, but making too much or not enough scenery in the track can cost you the win, be careful
Fun factor - 5 Points possible
If the map is fun to drive, you got it made! there's nothing more important in TM playing than having fun
Media-Tracker - 5 Points possible
we're looking for the complete track-maker, and the MT is one of the major aspects in TM, make it count !
The Judges:
If you want to volunteer as a judge, please send me a PM @ cranberries
In the PM please specify that you want to be a judge for this month MTC's ...
I'll get back at you as soon as possible, and I'll let you know if you got it ^^
IMPORTANT:
in case some problems occur, pls allow a day or two for clarifications
so don't just jump at it, and start building senseless, wait a few moments
okay, that's it, talk to you guys in the comment section down bellow  |

easiest theme ever^^ (to build ofc, not to win) I think judging system needs to be adjusted a bit, like (imho):
creativity - 15 points, fun - 5 points, scenery+MT - 5 points
waiting for joost ;D |

i think there should be 10 points for fun as always because we are playing this game because it's fun and i think it's the most important to have fun while driving a track

No.
Here creativity is everything. A new max points for fun means more casual tracks which we see at BotW. On the other hand it might fit the theme since I fear for the future.. |
