Thank you a lot for your posts in the wishlist. Most of them are into our database of things to do, but I will open a new topic, to know what are your top wishlist, now that the update is done.

For example, I know some will look for things like laps & rounds modes cp infos, improved system to place items without bloc constraint (and look at pivots & materials), stylesheets issues for custom titles etc. Do not hesitate to post them again in your wishlist, so we can know better your priorities each time.

You will have a simplified rank in addition to other things that are already there. It will help quickly see the level of others, since we will add them to scoreboards and nametags ingame.

It is really simpe:
0
Bronze I,II,III
Silver I,II,III
Gold I,II,III

So, it goes from 0 to 9.

I am Echelon 3 @ Elite, for example.

Nice update. :1010
Several cool goodies like graphs in manialinks and maniascript size editing.

Hoping for maniascript Trackmania car positions soon, though :D.

Any chance to get a direct downloadlink? The ingame updater doesn't work for me (problem seems to be on my end).
