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 ...

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
