I recall similar discussion in Canyon beta. In Canyon there is a media tracker block for switching on car lights, I used this sometimes in dark places on Canyon, probably Stadium has this MT block now as well? I had this very idea in this thread , and it seems the solution might just be to change c...

That's an update I actually think is positive, although it seems that most of the updates have been against RPG players, but I'm seeing a lot of complaints from other players as well, so I don't think Stadium will be ready as it is.

I'm guessing Nadeo plan to release more lighting blocks, or let current blocks have a certain "glow" or lights. Although I think it's still very dark, because it has never been this dark in daylight :s

This is a bad hit to all modders. Is there currently any workaround for this problem, or is there nothing to do about this?

I support HawkGer's message, transparent blocks are certainly needed in the construction of RPG maps. There are maps which would never work with such a change, especially Kryw's Polytech Plasma and in general, the possibility to create transparent textures are essential in the making of windows and ...

Well, I might ask for hundreds of players..: Will there be any new blocs in trackmania 2 Stadium? It still needs it because it's quite boring for an experienced stadium player and that happiness of tm2stadium won't hold long on for me.. :/ Pls new blocs! I think block import will hopefully be a key...

This is the bestest, most awesomest day since the release of TMNF imo, great news
