Friends, hello everyone! On the Mr.BoS channel and on the STMods.ru website, as well as with the participation of everyone who cares about this game, a joint contest for the BEST MAP of 2018 is being held! Any map maker can participate in the contest. The main condition is that the map must be at least 32x32 in size and must be new (not a conversion from an old version of the game) and not publicly available. It is welcomed if you specify which mods are recommended for playing the map. Everything else is up to the discretion and imagination of the map makers.

The prize fund is 7000 rubles. Participation in the contest is free. You must submit an application to participate on the STMods.ru website by leaving a comment under this post. The last day to submit a map for the contest is May 3, 2018. Send the map for review and the contest via private message on VK or Discord or any other convenient way either to Mr.BoS (Alexander Zadorin on VK) or Alexey Sinev.

All maps that enter the contest will be tested and played through on the Mr.BoS channel. After playing them, voting will be held on the STMods.ru website and in the Mr.BoS VK group. All votes will be counted and taken into account.

After the voting, all maps will be made publicly available and uploaded by the map authors to the STMods.ru website. The maps will be played under code names (for example 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). The map authors will also be revealed only after the voting to minimize biased voting. We do this to make the voting as objective and fair as possible. Authors who try to campaign during the voting will be disqualified.
The voting period is 1 week after all maps have been played through!

Total prize fund 7000 rubles
1st place - 4000
2nd place - 2000
3rd place - 1000
Additional prize from Mr.BoS - the game ETS2 as a gift at his discretion.

Update 02.04.18:
Voting procedure: depending on the number of participants, we randomly divide them into groups of 4-5 maps. Within a week, we play through (or simply review) all the maps in the group. At the beginning of the next week after reviewing all the maps in the group, a (one-week) vote starts to choose the best map from that group. At the same time, maps from the next group are shown, with voting for them starting at the beginning of the following week, and so on until all maps have been reviewed.
After all maps have been reviewed and group votes held, a final vote is created, with participants being the maps that won their weekly votes. The results of this vote will determine the best map!

We remind you that during the stream of a contest map, no viewer (not even the author) is allowed to reveal either the name or, especially, the author of the map. Otherwise, the map will be excluded from the contest.

Good luck!

Update 03.05.18: submission of works is closed. The first weekly vote starts on Monday.

Update 12.05.18: at the request of voters - maps that made it to the final vote will be made publicly available during the voting period without author attribution, so voters can try out each map before voting.

Author of model, animation and textures: VOTO.1979

MeshConvert - a mesh editor for the Spintires format (those in MeshCache or _m)
MeshConvert saves ST game meshes for different game versions.
But not all meshes can be converted correctly; it is preferable to use the original X-meshes (with the .x file extension).
Also, MeshConvert can be used to edit the mesh XML.

Usage:
With this program, you can convert vehicles from the 03.03.16 version, specifically cached mesh files, to MudRunner.
Important! Don’t forget to then distribute all texture and model files into the necessary folders (which should be created beforehand): meshes go into the _m folder, and textures into the _t folder, accordingly. And provided the vehicle config in classes/trucks is correct, taking into account the new requirements for wheels and steering response. Also, the correct config for the wheels themselves in classes/wheels. The vehicle will appear in the game, though without drive shafts, as mentioned by the user above. Difficult? Possibly for some. But those familiar with the subject will figure it out.
How to use: unpack the downloaded executable into any folder. Double-click it, and in the window that appears, at the very bottom above the Load and Save buttons, select the path to the desired model (vehicle, addon), open the mesh, then click Load, and after that Save. A file with the _converted suffix will appear next to the model in the folder. This will be the finished mesh. Delete the old one, remove the suffix from the filename. That’s it.
Thanks for the instructions: Denis Korolev.
