Submit Maps
Map-submissions are right now closed.
Make sure to follow these guide-lines VERY CAREFULLY:
Guide-lines
General:
- The map should be seen as AN INTRODUCTION TO STADIUM
- Make it a Multi-lap, but only 1 lap because of the Time Attack competition
- Combine all styles (Tech, Dirt, Speed, Obstacles and others). It don't have to be a perfect mixture
- Length should be around 2 minutes
- The map should be EASY as this is an untrained event. Both newbies & pros should be able to enjoy driving the race
- It should be EASY to see where to go. Make the map as streamlined as possible (avoid people having to respawn)
- It should always be possible to respawn and continue the race in an EASY way
- Mods are allowed
- Block-mixing is allowed
- Name it "fB~ track-name". Keep it mature
- If your map is used, you can't play in the race
- Logo to put in the map: https://i.imgur.com/Q0V1YK7.jpg
- PNG-logo for map-thumbnail etc: https://i.imgur.com/99ASUMO.png
- Send the map via PM on my Facebook page (any other way is also fine but not as convient for me)
Specific (click on the texts for examples):
- Add a 7-8 second long stretch (no turns or jumps) to the map to give people a chance to rest
- Add a GPS-ghost to the map and write "press respawn" or "respawn" (not enter) at the end of it
- If you're having trouble making the GPS respawnable in the end, follow this guide (by revi)
- Make sure start-text for the GPS-ghost only shows up on the first lap. If you don't know how to do it, have no text if GPS is obviously placed
- Add a lot of check-points
- Don't build the map in night-mood because it's laggy, all other moods are fine to use
- Don't add too long reverse-boosters
- Don't add any holes or unnecessary poles
- Don't add too thin wall-rides. If you use one with a bump in the end, remove it with block-mixing
- Don't add big jumps to the map to avoid landing-bugs as they are very frequent
- Don't add any unnecessary scenery
- Don't add balance-acts
- Don't add walls with laggy skins. Remove these skins from the walls to prevent lag
- Only add max 1 intentional respawn-check-point
- Red blocks that removes your engine are only fine to use if they are very close to a check-point
- if you respawn and have to take an alternative way, add a text, sign or ghost to show the way
- Make sure the camera switches in loops and wallrides are working for all cameras (see tutorial below)
- Check for shortcuts and remove them
Tips:
- It's a good idea to first send in a prototype of the map without a GPS and camera 3-switches since feedback should be expected and it's likely you have to change your map in some way
- Don't take it personal if you have to make changes to your map. I need to be strict and follow the guide-lines carefully to ensure the map works as good as possible for the race
- Expect a long waiting-time before I test your map since I got a lot of maps to go through and it's very time-consuming
- Take inspiration from previously used maps
