Hi, here is the topic to simply list what you would like to see fix next week and please provide a report.

However, please try to keep this thread clean, without debates. If there should be one, link it in your post.

1 design/style everywhere!

You forgot the loading screens! You can show tips & tricks in loading screens.
Its waaaay less work than making tutorials.

I dont understand why you didnt change the black topbar. It looks so old. You added some changes but the blackbar still looks from 1999 :/
I will stop whining if you just confirm you will change it :p

- Really want to see an enhanced FreeCam mode in the editor, because it's really hard sometimes to place blocks/items in small indoor area... (actually the Cam vision area is only a semi sphere... a complete sphere would be better)

- More samples and documentation about Item Editor (it's not really for an update but for the forum). As we need ActionMaker, ItemEditor and Maniascript to make an item It looks hard for one guy to make all parts

- one of the new ventilation block make a different sound than other

CSmObject::EStatus is bugged
instead of CSmObject::EStatus::OnPlayer it becomes CSmObject::EStatus::Unspawned
this really needs a quick fix imo

in the case of speedball for example the complete game mode is broken ...

when I want to render a replay in the advanced editor I dont get anymore my selection screen for all available codecs like here: http://i.imgur.com/fB0GzCt.jpg
The render directly starts: http://youtu.be/v6K0zUybcgM

edit: fixed it by myself

Other ideas: Maniapub advertisement, tip of the day (can be useful in sm) etc.

- please display count of totally available servers for each title in the overlay
- please also display (again?) the number of pages of servers / players in the overlay
- add a button to jump to the end of the list / last page to the overlay

- not sure if it is a bug or intended: apparently the title "Minimalize" has a square loadscreen. It was tiled to the left and to the right, but I don't think this is right... strange coincidence, the screenshot presented is also a square.
But on FullHD, it looks like this:
Asking at the same time the author via PM for confirmation...
- please make the button that has focus or mouseover brighter (or the others darker), because at the moment I can't really tell the difference:

Alternatively change the font color of the buttons.
Not sure if it is related to bloom (I had it off for unknown reason, but switching on in the menu did not show any difference at those buttons)

- please do not have "ManiaPlanet needs to be restarted" if only a title is updated. I had to do it now for every title it seems... earlier TM² and just now Storm, although there was no new update of ManiaPlanet.exe in between, and Storm "update" only loaded packs/zips for Storm, and ShootMania titles.
Or was some stuff updated for the overlay of the Storm station?

IMPORTANT : Going to windows & returning to game = No sounds anymore ( only pings & some other random sounds )

Can't reproduce with Windows 7 64bit. Is it perhaps Windows 8.x issue? (others) Please confirm
