First Map Testing

Last night, we did our first map testing session and everything went pretty good. We tested 43 maps in total. Too bad, most of them didn't pass the test because they just weren't good enough.

First post

Welcome, this blog will contain the results of every map testing session held by the admins of littlewhitey's MTA:SA Race server. After every session, I will post which maps have been kept and which have been deleted and our motivations.

We haven't done any map testing yet, so there aren't results for now, but we are planning to start testing maps soon.

Maps can be uploaded to the server on http://eu.littlewhitey.com/upload.php.
Playing on littlewhitey's MTA:SA Race server: 85.17.19.181 port 22003, or use this direct link: mtasa://race@85.17.19.181:22003.
