[Beta2] ManiaPlanet 2 Beta Server 2012-12-19

[sebkuh]

First of all, let's state that I do not expect everything to work flawlessly immediately after an update, I do understand some errors are hard to pinpoint and/or solve and I trust the fine people of Nadeo are working their asses off to solve the current problems.

However, I expected that Nadeo learned from their prior "experiments" with the ManiaPlanet platform, using their paying customers as mere guineapigs. I just cannot believe how an error causing problems of the magnitude as we experienced today could have slipped through the testing phase. It leaves me seriously doubting if there was any such thing. I consider it a slap in the face of their loyal fanbase.

I can only hope Nadeo are able to fix this before the Christmas holidays. Until that time, sorry Nadeo, but

Strange... Will see what i can do tomorrow

[w1lla]

The seperate titles cant be accesed ingame nadeo blocked that. Sorry partly my fault i think as i bugged hylis about it.

Anyway the callbacks should be the same for all servercontrollers otherwise you will have 10x different callbacks.

Offtopic: im no admin but the corresponding posts make the topic unreadable

[w1lla]

I made some requests to add more callbacks for example elite and so did munglo but never did nadeo react. I even have one of the first elite script just as a backup

"I have updated Maniaplanet some hours ago and after 5 minutes of frustrated checking and seeing how nadeo have made maniaplanet so ugly and weird..."

"...How can nadeo invest so much time and manpower in reworking something which was FINE, WORKING and some kind of ok looking??? Sorry, i dont get that into my mind."

"...There are much heavier problems then a redesign and remodeling of the menu and maniaplanet interface."

"...I DO NOT wanna see a totaly ugly wannabe-3D-interface where really every important info is gone and only title boxes are offending my eyes.

I totally agree... the new pseudo 3D interface on literally all the screens (in my opinion) looks awful.

The add buddy doesn't work (not to mention many other aspects)

The notification (of friends on-line) number is inconsistent with the title bar text.

I could go on and on... sure, I like to see development, but as yamyam has raised... this ultimately seems like a massive step backwards.

Kind Regards Reactor

P.S - Yes there are going to be people who may like it (my words are just my opinion) though it seems from reading other threads there are many question what the hell Nadeo were (or are) thinking.

I totally agree... the new pseudo 3D interface on literally all the screens (in my opinion) looks awful.

Indeed, and "awful" is the friendly way to say ...
My eyes are getting cancer if im looking too long at the new maniaplanet
It is looking like a 10 year old boy made his first steps on photoshop.
Or maybe it's some special french taste, i don't know

I could go on and on... sure, I like to see development, but as yamyam has raised... this ultimately seems like a massive step backwards.

So true, that is one of the biggest problems of nadeo. Whatever they do (server update, maniaplanet update, game mode updates, whatever updates...) it feels most of the times like a big step backward instead of forward. They fix a server bug while adding two new bugs. They try to improve the maniaplanet interface speed and optic but make it even more worse. And so on ...

I just can laugh my ass of and/or shake my head in disbelief:
HOW can nadeo waste so much time, money and manpower to destroy and disimprove maniaplanet instead of getting the real important things done? Getting the server version bug-/freeze-/lagfree, getting the mode scripts final, adding all possible callbacks to the scripts for all server controllers, speeding up the reaction and improving the usability of maniaplanet, and lot more. There would be still enough time to redesign and really improve the maniaplanet menus, speed and interfaces AFTER the launch of the game at 23.01.2013 (if).

Beta 2 is (once again) damaging the reputation of nadeo in my opinion.
And the bad and evil thing of this: ... it is their own fault!

[masleyko]

Yes - nagging is important here.

Our servers are completely broken - every time a map comes on that uses the the blocks everyone gets kicked.

SO we have to find the weed maps and weed them out... sorry but this is not on...

To also release another server update after the client is crazy... this is even worse than the last balls up nadeo.

Maniaplanet maybe in beta - but I am sure as hell that the original trackmania 2 I bought was a full final version until the genius idea of creating a common platform called maniaplanet that then breaks something that worked!!!

I am sorry to rant - but this is UNACCEPTABLE - I am sure a speak on behalf of all TM2 server admins.

Thanks
