Laputa - Castle in the Sky

Ay MX,

This will be my last project in trackmania.

I started this project in november 2020 and finished it in november 2022,
shortly: two years building time.

The project is based on the movie Laputa - Castle in the Sky [1986] by Studio Ghibli

I have made a long video, watch here:

In the beginning i had a lot of trouble with openplanet, the game crashed a lot,
in the end i got rid of it and used vanilla features only, kind of.

First try:
    should take you ~6 hours.

Checkpoints:
    150 in total, styles are mixed.

Easy Pathfinding?
    well kind of, it just takes some hours, but nothing complicated.

Mediatracker:
    no, too complicated to be used outside the building area.

Easter eggs?
    also no, i had no time left to add any and also too complicated to use the mediatracker

Is it one block?
    no, individual objects like plants, trees are own objects...
    but the big castle itself is divided in a few files.

How big is the map?
    actually only 800kb, all items & textures are part of the rpg titlepack, it has 50k cc.

Map password?
    no, open for everyone (items are hidden in the editor...)
