Maniaplanet 3.1 RC2 changelog (Released!)

[Alcator]

I was losing hope when I searched for "Platform" in the log, and didn't find it, but I checked none-the-less, and sure enough Platform maps can once again be validated. Thanks.

It also seems that you tried solving the problem with intro cut-off; I'll check all my maps to see if this is indeed fixed.

Thanks!

BTW, the big down-arrow in the station list should probably disappear or be replaced with up-arrow when we scroll to the bottom, no? Right now, it remains floating over the stations.

Big issue in Stadium ! Map made after the update (not the hotfix i guess) make servers crash.

Uhm , some servers use ManiaKarma , instead of TmKarma.
There is a problem with ManiaKarma plugin at the moment. ( Its also not a official released plugin )

I also have a server running with the latest dedicated server and it all runs well.

Server is using "tm-karma.com"

Falling stamina isn't really good idea you should remove this feature

Falling stamina isn't really good idea you should remove this feature

It is a good idea because players have to choose a way to not fall and loose stamina. It adds strategy to gameplay. But for obstacle, it have to be deactivated, you know what I mean.

You cannot choose a way to not get falling damage, because there is only one: use some stamina before landing.

While before using stamina before landing was an option giving you more possibilities in the game, it now is a necessity. So with this change the game has again sacrificed versatility for a completely uncalled for mechanic.

The more the game forces you to do something instead of choosing yourself if it is the right time to do so, it will get more one-dimensional.

Some movements will be useless without stamina, specially in Paladin with the high jump (with the wood ramp) you can glide with a high speed to the pole, but now nop, this feature destroy some possibility and come here so lately on the game. It's really a not good idea for Elite that why this feature should be disappear.

I've only just found the new shootmania blocks, some nice ones too!

I find it funny that some people can say that this adds strategy to the game. And then at the same time says it MUST BE REMOVED for one of the modes.

Well, if it should be in the game, it should also be in obstacle. After all, it was obstacle that got B2 walljumps removed so now they should suffer as well.

But yes UrinStein, as you said this is just another tiresome mechanic that is forced on you. Just like progressive walljumps. It doesn't add anything of significance to the gameplay, but adds forced mechanics upon you. I'm all for more mechanically challenging movement, but not when it's something that is forced on you to do every time. That is just bad design.

Oh and Hylis, you said this update would adress some of my concerns... how come this update adress absolutely zero of my concerns except a tiny bugreport? I've been posting on this forum for over 1,5 years and you still don't know what my concerns are.

Hire a translator or stop lying. Please.

Hire a translator or stop lying. Please.

Ignoring you, or postponing less important issues, is not lying.
And sometimes things simply get forgotten. Reminding them of it is OK.

But:
Please stop your constant and unnecessary insults.
Last warning, I have enough of this, because you don't listen since long time as well.

Hylis, in another thread specifically adressed ME and MY CONCERNS and said that this Power UP! thing would adress some of them.

The changes clearly show that none of those are adressed. In fact, it's the opposite. Some of the things are going in the exact opposite direction of my wishes. (Note that my wishes has always been for the gameplay-side of things and nothing else)

So either Hylis doesn't understand what my concerns are after 1,5 years on this forum, or he was lying.

Sadzealot, I will answer you since I feel that your post is much less negative than before.

For the Shootmania Storm Power Up! phase, you will see some major elements to answer some of your strongest wishes. It comes from what you say and I have nothing against that.

(From this thread - http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... 50#p219823 )

So I want an answer... which of my wishes did he answer with the Power UP! except for a small bug that should've been fixed a year ago? You say I'm insulting, but the only one who is insulting is the moderator threatening action when people want clarification on things said.
