 75 Builders Project
by  Cxom at 08 Apr, 2014  

(^ Potential Track Name? ^)

I, Cxom, am currently running a massive exploitation of trackbuilders community trackbuilding project over in the forums, with the Mania Exchange community. When the map is completed, a full 75 people will have built a part and represented themselves in what is sure to be a historic track (just look at the legacy of District 25).

That said, I'm currently in need of more builders. Fifteen No more, thanks to those who signed up!. The only requirement to be a builder for the project is owning Valley. So if you're interested, go ahead and sign up right away in the forum at this link, or PM me directly (  Cxom).

I'll be sending the building templates to people shortly after they sign up, so as soon as you join you can get started. Once you get your template, make sure to follow all the rules for building as listed on the first page of the forum thread. The deadline for building the trackparts will be 15 days after you receive your template. This ensures that each builder gets at least 2 weekends to work on their part, and it should be plenty of time to get and complete your part. If any builder does not meet the deadline, their part will be given to someone else.

With all that said, I look forward to seeing you participate in this landmark project!

Current Needed Builders Count: 0 (Thank you to all those who joined in.)


With CPS13 coming up later this Spring, ESL naturally needs new maps to play this premiership on! That's why they're again asking for help from the community to send them maps, which can be used in CPS13!

Every tournamentmap has to comply with certain requirements. You can read all these requirements in the forumpost linked below.

The deadline for sending in maps is Sunday, April 27th. This should allow you enough time to build an amazing techmap (or maybe more than one), which you can send in to ESL! The ESL admins are looking forward to all the submissions they'll recieve from the community. This is your chance to get your map into this big ESL competition. So, open up the editor and start building your techmap for this event!

Exactly 10 years ago today TMX was born!

Even though TMX existed shortly before that, we view March 27, 2004 as the day it was born because it's when tracks began to be shared. Track sharing is the lifeblood of TMX.

Here we are, nearly 860,000 tracks later.
That's an average of about 236 tracks uploaded every day for the past 10 years.

The stories that could be told are more numerous than the number of tracks shared.

Many have literally grown up with TMX. Others have just grown a little older. We've all gained a few friends, some for life. We've all made lasting memories, building our dream tracks, discovering amazing creations by others, and sharing everything.

We wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for you!

Now a new generation is using ManiaExchange, the successor to TMX, but similar in so many ways. And to many of us, it's simply a continuation of this adventure.

Thanks to all of you! You're the best community ever!

Join us in the forum for the party! :cool:

tm-exchange.com, which is the site for the old TM games (Original, Sunrise, Nations, Nations Forever, and United Forever) had been inaccessible for the past few days due to some domain issues.

In the meantime we had set up TMX Nations Forever and TMX United at temporary addresses, so people could continue to use those sites.

But we're happy to inform you that all of tm-exchange.com is live again at it's original address!

The temporary links will continue to work for the next few days. Here they are for quick reference.
TMX United temporary address
TMX Nations Forever temporary address

There was also an issue with new users being able to create new accounts on Mania Exchange. But that should be resolved now that TMX and it's mail server is accessible again.

TMU KO is not effected by the current site problem (which may or may not be fixed by then)

:cool:
Just a heads up... TMX is experiencing some downtime, and we're aware of it. You can still access TMX United at this temporary URL and TMX Nations Forever at this temporary URL.

We hope to have the sites online again at their normal URLs as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience.

The downtime is not currently affecting ManiaExchange... obviously, because you're reading this. =p

Update: Apparently this outage is effecting new registrations on MX. So if you are a new user trying to create an account here, you may not be able to for now.
There's a really fascinating article about how video games, specifically TrackMania, are being used to help people with missing limbs who experience Phantom Pain. Worth reading, and watching the accompanying video.

Discuss here.

Kudos to w1lla for finding and sharing it on ManiaPlanet Forum.
