Hello

Here I will share my Shorty Map packs, you can install them for 10 planets.

If I'm uploading it incorrectly, please tell me.
I will post more packs as we go.

How is 10 planets for every 5 tracks?

Put the pack file in this folder:
C:\Users\your name\Documents\ManiaPlanet\Packs

What's this? 5 tracks for 250 planets?

5 tracks for 250 planets? I call bullshit.

no advertisement, no description, no screenshots, this is poor, indeed

you better do some more effort before selling your stuff

E.g. have at least a few free tracks on ManiaExchange so others can see your talent.

Dude, we get full titles with medals, 50+ tracks, screenshots for previews, etc for around 50 Planets.

Guys, could you be a little more gentle. It's his first pack and 250 planets really is too much, but there is a nicer way to say this.

Yeah it doesn't work, what you need to do is uploading the "Pack.Gbx" file that was created. The folder "Shorty_pack_1@fibao" shows that you created a title. This is not what you wanted to do. While creating the pack, leave the option "Title" unchecked, then add your maps and create it. There shouldn't be a folder created, but only a "Pack.Gbx" file.

And then think about how to make players download it, TMarc made a good point:

Oops, alright, I'll make a new pack that's cheaper, I had 6000 planets on my first day so I had no idea what they're worth

Well, that's the problem. Nobody really does. Aslong super cool mods, 3D models and 2D skins are given away for free or they cost as little as 3 to 5 planets, tracks are worth... well... exactly... nothing...

If we want the economical system to work we would have to agree on standarized prizes I guess...

Cute simple maps.

Organisation could be better though. I found the first maps at the "my maps" folder and the second pack at the "shorty" folder. There doesn't seem to be a shorty 1 track unless it's at some obscure location. Shorty 2 track is out of order probably because the s isn't capitalised. Track 7 from the second pack also ended up in the "my maps" folder. Track 10 also seems out of order, not sure why exactly. Pro tip to name your maps "shorty 01,shorty 02...." instead of "shorty 1, shorty 2". Any reason those tracks are not in one big pack? I also prefer tracks to be in a title pack format but maybe that's just me.

I'm pretty sure title packs are secretly a way to change our mindset into paying for tracks, as it's something I would never have done in the past. But if they're in a title pack, organized into a campaign, yeah... I can see myself buying some tracks. What is this madness?!
