sorry guys (Superal and erik) i hadnt seen these posts

Of course you are welcome to join me in this series.
I currently have a Valley map almost done and being hunted by a secret Stig.

You are welcome to secretly invite a fast driver to do the same for you and build a track for them.

=======================
Track making process
=======================

Find a Stig:
I usually ask the Stig what kind of map they would like to drive:
Full speed, Tech, Dirt, Tarmac, Lenght (some people like really short maps others not so much)

Build the map:
Then i build the map and send to the Stig for approval
Then I make any changes he requests then send back to him.
Repeat this until the Stig is happy with the track


I usually place a sign block with the Stig photo inside the map.
(Usually one close to the start and another clse to the finish)

Here are the sign files:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2191435/trackmania/stig.jpg.loc

Place these files in C:\Users\[username]\Documents\ManiaPlanet\Skins\Any\Advertisement
Restart Maniaplanet and then the stig photo should be available to place as a skin on sign blocks


Stig sets the record
The Stig should hunt the map to set a very fast time that will be a challenge for others to beat.
He should do it in the track editor as an author validation run


Give the track a name with this color code:
$s$i$000Stig$D40Academy:$z TrackName

Don't forget to save the track under your own login to hide the Stig's identity

Screenshot
This is up to you but usualy nothing fancy is required
I usually do a simple screenshot (sometimes capturing the stig skin in the track)
with the text "Can You Beat the Stig?"

have fun!

Fine, gonna do this so!

There's a new Stig to beat
Now in a challenging Valley track
Have fun!


EDIT: Stig was beaten after 4 days, go to the track page for the reveal =)
