Tuto stunt mapping with objects

Here is a tuto for beginners in stunt mapping , you can find basics to use objects too.

For racers mappers , you can make race maps in stunt editor (choose style map stunters racers (first time, choose from a file to get the script)). You can load a race map into stunters editor & just change style map to have it playable on stunters server fun race (at the moment only one serv open with this mod). I'm sure that many race mappers want try objects for racing, so feel free to test

For stunt mappers , the following tuto is the bases for me , for MT work u can find good tuto around

[Tutorial] Make it Rain

Original topic here

Hello everyone

Rain Image Size note this is the white text on the pic.
First put the scale of image to X 2.5 and the Y to 10.

Rainfall and speed of falling unlimited Rain note this is the Red text on the pic.
Click on the start of the bar "note this is the number 1" on the pic.
and move the rain image up the screen, but also keep the full cover of the rain on the screen.
Now click on the end of bar "note this number 2 on the pic, and move
the image down the screen, but also keep fully covered again, while still on the number 2 bar,
move it towards number 1, this will make the speed of the rain falling down the screen !
the speed is to your custom i used Time 0.00.98, this is in the lower screen shot in white text.

Unlimited Rainfall inside the red square top left corner.
Ticking the "keep playing box" means the image will stay on the screen.
Ticking the "is cycling" means the image of the rain will never stop falling down the screen,
this is why i said you must keep the image covering the full screen, or you will see a gap in the rain.

Rain transparent Opacity note this is the yellow text on the screen shot.
If you click and hold onto the little red slider and move it left, you adjust the look of the rain, it will
become more transparent. this is upto you "what makes to happy" Please note you must set this
on the number 1 and number 2 on the bar as well, example to the above Opacity click the start of
the bar number 1 and then hold the Opacity red icon move it to the letter "O" in the word opacity.
now click on the end of the bar number 2, and again put the slider to the letter "O" of opacity,
now the effect of the rain will be set as the same in unlimited falling look.

Screen shot image click on image to see at full size with info "please look at the color coding"


Rain Image download and save it in Docs/ManiaPlanet/Media/Images
Please note yous will have to host the Image somewhere, but dropbox is a good site for this, and remember yous
will also have to make a locater file for it, for others to see your image in game.

TM & SM // Essentials - editor plugins compilation!

Original thread: viewtopic.php?p=270619#p270619

Hello!
(Is it me you're looking for?)

Here I come with another script, this time it's an editor plugin. Essentials is a powerful toolbox, that is in fact a compilation of 6 different plugins.

What can I do with it?

• On compact widget, current block coordinates and North direction are always displayed (CursorCoords feature).
• It automatically enables both Ghost Blocks and Air mapping modes upon editor start - you don't need to access experimental tools menu anymore (AutoGhostBlocks feature).
• Pressing mouse wheel button will swap between normal and Ghost Block modes (AutoGhostBlocks feature).
• Underground mode will switch automatically, when you choose an underground construction block (AutoUnderground feature).
• You will be reminded to place exactly one podium block, as validation button becomes pink and non-clickable when there is no podium on map (MissingPodiums feature).
• It is also supposed to enable automatic save, however looks like methods provided by Nadeo don't work.
• With a press of one button, all terrain on your map will be covered with HD mountain block (HDTerrain feature, Storm & Valley only).

Download
You can easily download the plugin, by opening manialink domino54?essentials
If it doesn't work, install it manually from my GitHub repository.

Worth noting is, the plugin will be updated, if there is any new feature I can add to it. You can also suggest some features you would like to see!

P.S. Yes, the widget is compact, all functions icons will slide out when you move your cursor over the plugin widget.
