Valley KO2 TimeAttack - Start time: 19:30 GMT

Please cause Mikey more work by uploading your KO2 Stadium and valley maps in the next days
Full details on how to submit maps are in Mikey's thread on the forum (first post)

PlayPal Online
The Stadium version is now working, Canyon to follow soon...
Access the PPO MX pages PPO Valley and PPO Stadium

If nobody else is playing, feel free to play for a while anyway, you will gain karma for your map, register your times on the PlayPal records listings, and gradually the number of players will grow.

Unreleased Tracks
o Its possible to upload tracks in unreleased state
o You can then share links to the map
o Unreleased maps can also be added to PPO and other online servers for test play.
o Convert the map to released status when you are ready.

Mixed Environment Tracks
o We now accept maps re-saved in alternative base stations
o This means that replays for the map must also be from that station
o Any combo can work, CanyonCar on Valley, StadiumCar on Canyon... and so on.

For example, to get the ValleyCar on your Stadium map, validate & save your stadium map in the Valley editor. Upload the map. Offline replays will then only be accepted if they are made with ValleyCar. There is no effect to your map when it is used online.

Search for these maps using advanced search option. Set the title filter to TMStadium, TMValley or TMCanyon, then uncheck the environment box which would be normal for that title

Live Online Chat
IRC (internet relay chat) is now available under the 'About MX' menu drop down. Its a chat window in which you can chat to other users. It is moderated and there is often moderators there, so please understand to respect other people, just as you would anywhere else on MX.

Fixes
o Duo accounts work again
o Track listings icons align nicer
o More room in listings for track names

We've had a really good month of getting new stuff put in and getting old stuff fixed, thank you for sticking with us when things were not quite so good.



Please continue making knockout maps (see below)
