With the success of the MTC in both united and TM2 we thought it'd be a great idea to start one for shootmania aswell. :D
In the MMC your task is to build a shootmania map on a given theme, obviously we wish to receive some awesome entries by YOU!
So head on over to this thread to check out the full theme and rules.

Good luck everyone! :pil

The fifth Shootmania Monthly Mapping Contest is on Speedball

"Welcome to the fifth Shootmania Monthly Mapping Contest (MMC), 4th of September 2013, hosted by Mania Exchange.

In the MMC, your task is to build a ShootMania map on a given theme (see below). All of the submissions will be added to our official MMC server, which will be open to the public and is where our judges will play and judge the maps to find a winner.

The Details

Let's have a look at the details of the contest:

Theme of the month: Speedball with focus on objects.
Your task is to build a Speedball map with extra focus on the custom objects. You will gain more points based on not only the amount of objects you have but also on your creative use of the objects.

The Speedball title pack includes lots of very interesting custom objects, such as fortress objects, platform objects placable words and more.

Tip: You can spin any object using - or + on numpad for horizontally, and even use arrow keys to rotate them vertically.

Speedball is a team-based gamemode containing a ball which you have to score at the opponents pole. When holding the ball you can pass it around to your teammates by shooting them while holding the ball.

To validate your map you need to have at least one spawn per team, and one pole per team and one checkpoint in the middle.

Prize:

-gold: First place: 10.000 planets
-silver: Second place: 7500 planets
-bronze: Thrid place: 5000 planets

-award: Top 3 maps will be featured in the news section on the frontpage, getting a lot more spotlight.
(the winners should expect to see their maps getting played on servers a lot more. :cool: )

The rules:

-Build a Speedball map in the Speedball title pack. You need at least 2 spawns and 2 poles.
-Try to come up with something creative in the editor using the custom objects, you can find them under the little "tree" icon in the editor. More points will be given on the creative use of the objects.
-Max. 1 map per author. Single author per map.
-Blockmixing/Unlimiter is NOT allowed.
-Include the sequence of letters "MMC" somewhere in the map name so that it can be easily found on Mania Exchange.
-The map must have been uploaded to the exchange before September 28th 2013 00:00 GMT (September 28th 23:59:59 is OK).
-You may update your map as many times as you like, but you will have to post in the submissions topic what you updated in it. :) Please make a whole new post in the submissions thread for each updated version of the map."
