My Mapping Journey in TrackMania 2020

How I accidentally made a track of the day and roasting my old maps!
All my maps are on TMX: trackmania.exchange/mapsearch...

[@RacetasClub]

That journey is insane, you improved so much! Sick work :)

[@mattdto]

Thanks :)

[@spacejamgoliath]

The pink trees on the second map are actually perfect

[@Srynan]

Very insightful, I just started with mapping (only basic blocks) and this has tons of good information in it :)

[@mattdto]

Thanks! Enjoy the process :) mapping is a ton of fun!

[@BestestBum]

Good vid!

[@nearmint8350]

Impressive journey bother! Congrats :)

[@mattdto]

Thanks Nearmint! :)

[@anubis520]

This was really cool to see, have you thought about taking user submitted maps and commenting on easy fixes builders could make to improve visibility, smoothness and scenery?

[@mattdto]

Yeah I would be down for that!

Questions why does my track need transitions? I think that those jumping from one block to the other takes the glow out of my track too much and I have seen only 3 good transitions online when Track reviewing.

[@mattdto]

There are lots of different track styles and mapping styles, so I think you're right that you don't necessarily need transitions to make a good track. But, smooth transitions where players aim to reduce airtime is a popular style. The main thing to avoid is lots of airtime, or large jumps, but even that can have it's place on LOL or Kacky tracks! Certain transitions don't work well at lower speeds, or might not work if they aren't taken the right way. I've found that too on the review server, sometimes discovery runs will hit them at lower speeds and transitions won't work as well.

Thanks cbt man! :D

[@venomxus]

sound is completely in the left ear

[@mattdto]

Weird, I'm hearing it in both. Can you try testing your headphones with this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIW6e5R8eZuFaNU

[@atch4764]

@@mattdto its in both ears but it sounds like its only in left

[@TheRicebal]

@@mattdto You can see on the facecam you're slightly left of your microphone, it's very noticeable for me as well.

[@mattdto]

Yeah I figured out my mic settings. I guess it only recorded one side since I have a mono input. I think something is up with my headphones where it still plays on both sides. I fixed this for my newer videos!
