The "One-Life" Challenge

This is a plugin for TM2020 which implements a gamemode inspired by Jumper471's viewer challenge issued to GranaDy, as seen in this video.

Requires ManiaExchange Random Map Picker, MLFeed: Race Data, and MLHook, and Standard or Club Access to run.

The Rules

• You have "one life". Respawning to a checkpoint or retiring the run will reset your points to zero.
• Completing random maps from Trackmania Exchange, you will get one point for completing a map, plus one additional point per medal achieved.

No Medal - 1 point
Bronze Medal - 2 points
Silver Medal - 3 points
Gold Medal - 4 points
Author Medal - 5 points

• You may skip any map with an author medal time longer than 3 minutes, or skip ANY map by paying some of your points.

Classic Mode:

• Play at your own pace & go for a high score!
• 1 free skip to help get your runs started.

Challenge Mode:

• Keep pace with increasingly difficult point requirements - miss a deadline and you're out!
• Complete maps with a Gold or Author Medal to earn Skip Tokens, providing you the ability to skip maps shorter than 3 minutes for free!
• Can you surpass 100 points and enter Endless Mode?

Please report any bugs or issues to @Soulcloset on the Openplanet Discord!

FAQs:

Do Free Skips count towards the number of skips shown in my Classic Mode PB?
No, Free Skips do not count - only 5-Point Skips will be counted here.

What is the Skip Threshold?
If a map's Author Time is longer than the Skip Threshold, you can Free Skip without using a Skip Token (or your 1 free skip in Classic Mode).

How is my PB saved? Is there a leaderboard?
Currently, your PB for both modes is saved locally. There is no online functionality built into One-Life Challenge at this time, and you may reset your PBs by using the Openplanet Plugins menu to reset.

Why does the message "Settings Modified" appear?
This means you have modified the plugin's settings from default, and to prevent cheating, this message will display during your runs. To remove this message, set your settings back to default & start a new run.

GLHF!
