Important Message About CMZM:
CMZM is now dead. It's better off that way, and while I would have loved to create a 2nd map pack, it didn't work out, plus the development hell of Frog's Temple was a giant slap in the face for me. And I deserve it.
I wanted Spherical Globe-Trot (the 2nd map pack) to be not just by SM members, but by anyone. Yep, I asked other modding servers (that are open to other games) and I got practically nothing; so mmmyeah, that's about it.
I don't think I would be open to anyone willing to pick this up for the abandoned ideas such as RNG Puzzler (Gauntlet replacement using balls parameter) and the Gimmick Mode (a Gauntlet replacement with changing parameters), since it's been dragged for a year now.
And I think it's time to move on, and potentially, other projects. Maybe, sometime in the future, someone will discover SM, either thru this Zuma mod, or a newer quality Zuma mod, just like I planned while FT was in development.
Obviously, the download links will still be up. It just won't get updated anymore.

Edit 7/26/2018 - The mod is no longer named "Community Made Zuma Week Mod" and the "Week" has been omitted due to the fact that a full mod cannot be released on a week. Vanilla paths are no longer allowed and level count is now raised to 22.

Guidelines
Please follow these guidelines or your map will be likely denied!
- Don't make your path too short or too long. Nobody likes a FF 1F-long path, that's just boring. And 1-pixel long paths too. That's impossible.
- Don't make sloppy maps. This includes Paint backgrounds, glitchy/weird paths, tunneled sections that aren't covered and the like.
- Your custom path shouldn't crash.
- Common sense guidelines as well - no impossible danger zones, spaced out spheres due to a bug in the dat file, epileptic assets, eye-hurting BGs, etc.
- Don't make copyrighted/inappropriate/offensive backgrounds/assets.
- When possible, send a background of your level. Else, just send the path!
- Don't send vanilla paths. They're no longer allowed!
FAQ
If you have a question, read this first. If your question isn't in this section then reply to this thread.
- What if I literally can't think of a name and/or background?
- Send the dat file to me by either forum PM or Discord. I will make the level and BG afterwards. Discord Tag is CrushyGreenRen#1539.
- Are vanilla paths allowed?
- No.
- But you said they were allowed!
- Too late.
- Can I help out and do X?
- Forum PM/Discord DM me for more info. You may also reply to this thread.
- How can I make a Zuma path? I want to know!
