Maniaplanet Update #3 - wishlist

[Hylis]

After a great top wish list for update #2, here is the topic to express you desire of the top things you would like Nadeo to do/fix for update #3. And if you ever want to enter a debate on what 'the community' wants, you can also include a top list of what you think Nadeo should do for "the community" : Shootmania & Trackmania.

You top can be only one thing, if you are less aware, or many points. However, keep it really clear. Link to reports are welcome but not a necessity.

Example:
1. binding Alt key (you can bind another btw ^_^)
2. SLI support
3. Elite free edition
4. Stadium release
5. Valley release

Anything that is not in the format of a clear top, with short lines, will be deleted. The goal is to provide a clear picture of what each player wants.

1. I would like to see readable player positions in all trackmanias (maniascript) .
2. also a good addition to storm would be these smaller wood planks without support beam.
3.Next Map button in Solo campagne
4.Valley Hill transition
5.Stadium blocks like : LINK
6. External Blockmixing
(7. Make the Forum label (while updating) not with $l instead use the label propriety and change the text to view in Forum- just small and optional but I guess It would look better)

please please please make it happen

I want still the PuzzleMode!

[TGYoshi]

1. Changing the concept of ManiaPlanet from title-based to mod-based.
2. User interface/manialinks: Additional to the relative positioning system, an absolute positioning system (which should go hands in hands with the current relative one without problem) for better 2D graphics.
3. TrackMania car positions obtainable through maniascript (gamemodes).

My wishlist:
1. ActionMaker (I'm really curious)
2. Return of the old Replay-Menu (I liked it really much)
3. New Blocks for Stadium (The new blocks are good, but not enough)
4. Return of ManiaHome
5. ShootMania Cryo Announcement (also curious)

[serujio]

1) improvement of replays:
- option to delete saved replays.
- working autosave, that always autosave the best time you did on a track, either played online or offline, and not replace your previous autosaved best time with a worst time.(this may be already fixed, not sure)
- option to save only the replay of the last run when playing online (now it only saves a replay file with all cars playing and all time played)
- spinning wheels on server replays
2) fix ingame "edit bidings(keys)"
3) fix relay (can´t connect to relay servers)

[MouldyK]

1. Analog Accelerate/Braking Rework.
2. A free-"lite" version of Stadium and/or Canyon which only allows you to play only White Tracks in Single-player and/or multiplayer on Ubisoft Servers. Might lead to more players.

[coolsnake]

1. full controller support in the menu's. (currently it's only partial in the multiplayer menu)
When you change from the new browser to legacy browser, it does allow for full controller support in that menu.

2. fixing the scrolling bug in title packs (if you have more than 15 maps in one section of solo play and you scroll down, it doesn't scroll down far enough)

3. Being able to save "browse server" settings even when you close the game ( e.g. gamemodes, the zone you're in, advanced filter settings)

4. The advanced filter settings reset when you go from page 3 to 4 in the server list

5. fixing the percieved slugginess of the new browser

I would say that a dirty fix for 4 and 5 is to remove that mandatory refresh every x amount of pages in the server list. I'm guessing it's done to keep stuff up to date but I'd rather have a slightly outdated snappy list than a continuously refreshed slow responding list.

EDIT:

6. please bring back benchmarks

EDIT2: being able to use replays as benchmarks is pretty sweet, would still prefer a "proper" benchmark button for convenience purposes.

7. Please allow to go to the next map directly after winning a race, again, a convenience thing.

8. Please turn off the message that pops up every minute that asks you to go for an official time and make it a toggle.
