Beta 1.2d and 1.2e

[Gugli]

We are currently releasing Beta 1.2b. This update mostly contains bugfixes and some little improvements such as client bandwith optimisation.

Changelog :

• General
  • 3-state Hud3d visibility : nothing, players&markers, markers only
  • Fixed false start when balancing teams before match (in battle mode, for instance)
  • Updated translations
  • Added maniaplanet://#qjoin=server@title and #qspectate for "quick/quiet join" that skips the connection dialog.
  • Fix $l links focus problem in-game
  • Manialink quads : new attribute "bgcolorfocus" of type Vec3, allowing to change focus effect color.
  • Clouds and sprite animations were sometimes "not smooth"
  Script language
  • Fixed a bug when the first line of a *** XYZ *** bloc was a +++ or --- label.
  Network
  • Optimised protocol to reduce bandwith used for sending inputs client->server (optimisation is only active on updated servers)
  • Fix bandwith management for shootmania protocol. (warning: the bandwith server settings were actually mostly ignored so far, so you may need to tune your configs)
  
  
  Editor
  • Offzone support for macroblocks operations
  • A few additions to the script api
  • Various improvements (erase button, simple editor, ..)
  
  
  
  Trackmania
  • fixed the newly added tunnel blocks. warning: may break some maps, most notably the double checkpoint in tunnels is changed.
  
  
  Script modes
  • Shootmania modes : Add "UseInterractiveScreensIn3d" that allows to interract with manialinks pages diplayed in the 3d screens at spawn.
  • the Map.MapInfo should no longer be null.
  • New UiLayer type : AltMenu, which appears when the Player presses the Alt key (default binding). This key also un-hides the mouse cursor, thus allowing to click within the AltMenu. By default, the score table is shown, but can be hidden.

EDIT :
Beta 1.2e is a minor bugfix concerning scoretables in Elite. It's explained in following posts, like http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... 10#p118460

It seems to be possible to drag-delete blocks by holding delete.

Also, the updating screen said "New Trackmania tunnel blocks" Is this a mistake or am I just not finding them?

There are no new ones, the recently added tunnel blocks were just fixed.
