It's coming.

Living under a rock? Haven't heard of ManiaPlanet 4? Check out the last 7 blog posts on the ManiaPlanet Blog for some previews.

A new month, a new MTC. This time, the two guest hosts Lars and Ozon require you to build a map with more than one way to the finish. A relatively broad theme that can result in many different forms of maps!

Additional to the showcase win, the TOP5 will be showcased in an exclusive recap video.

All info about the contest is to be found here.

Dear ManiaExchange Community,

Today the day has come! We have worked hard for a better user experience on Mania Exchange for the last couple of seconds. We have collected the most creative heads out of the QuestMania Community to push new innovative features that will improve our precious site.

From this day on, we are slowly rolling out features over time, starting with the most important ones and at last, fixing the bugs we created.

We are proud to roll out the first and most important new feature on ManiaExchange:
Share buttons

Thaaaat's right. After all these years, we've made it possible to share your map with friends and family members on your facebook (and some other social networks I've forgotten about) and - as a result - drive more users to our site. From this day on, every MX account requires a Social media connection, unless you don't want to post comments, awards or maps, of course. Every time you post an award, upload a map or replay or even roast a fellow user in a discussion thread, the Social Media Connection will think one step ahead of you and post your action onto your facebook to see for all your friends! All automatically!
Obviously you can also share various aspects on the site with a single click!

Additionally, we aim towards a mobile phone SMS notification system, that notifies you every time you receive an award, reply or PM!

Some examples:





Enjoy!

(totally haven't gone overboard)

Today's edition of the 90MC will be hosted at 20:00 CEST (Friday - 31 Mar, 2017)

The ManiaExchange crew has created a new Discord server. We've been using Discord for a few weeks to chat as a team, but now we want to open it up to everyone else on the site.

If you're not familiar with Discord, it's a freeware proprietary VoIP application designed for gaming communities. Discord runs on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and in a web browser. In December 2016, the developers announced that Discord had over 25 million users.

We're primarily using it for it's text chat features, since you can have multiple text chat channels. Quite a few in the TM community already use Discord. So we hope you'll join us on the server!

The 2nd edition of the 90MC will be held on Thursday March 23, 2017 at 20:00 CET!

Find out more in the forums.

The revamped 90MC will be held on Sunday the 19th of March, 20.00 CET.

Read more about it here and join in the fun! Or join the 90MC Discord server to chat about it.
