Maniaplanet Update #4 - wishlist

[hackie]

Just a small wish :

I would like to add podium to the game / server.
So that every map has a podium , like in tmf.

It was just nice to see those cars in front , now you have to add it to map.
But maps converted from tmx do not have it.

So can podium be added to game or server ?

..

I'll extend upon this; start forcing every single map to have a podium. Many people just forget it, sadly.

And of course my wish to increase the maximum embedded object and map size still stands.

Maybe some people don't forget them, but simply don't like them. I will puke all over this forum, the day I am forced to add that nonsense to my maps.

Give us Normal MSAA in Trackmania 2 Stadium on Nice and very nice Shader settings plzzz (((

Added another point to my list:

6. Add more tooltips throughout the entire game so that players will find hidden features and shortcuts faster. e.g. the Gridsnap for custom blocks is super useful, but rarely anyone knows that it exists and that you have to press f4 twice to activate it. Tooltips are some work, but they are really really helpful, especially for the new players, who we really need at the moment! Tootltips with trick, tipps and explanations are very helpful and even a nice way to help

There has been many great updates lately that made Trackmania a lot more awesome. Now one really big step forward still missing is:

1) A update to the size of the building area (not necessarily in height as this is quite fine allready), specially in Canyon in my option.

just imagine how much more awesome things (maps) could be created . If performance/memory use is the concern, there could be a limit of maximum number of blocks one can use and/or maximum "displaycost" one can use while still being able to save a map.

And computers are only getting better!

The concern is the mapfile size. As you saw in District 25 (a huge mx community map), the mapsize already exceeded the 1 MB limit (which was the multiplayer-combatible sizelimit), so it meant it couldn't be played online. Now the filelimit was raised to 2MB, making space for embedded blocks. Having a bigger map results in bigger filesizes. Even if the filelimit wouldn't be existent, other players with worse internet would have problems playing online, because they had do download approx. more than 20 s before having it downloaded (then try to calculate the map loading time etc. and you have 35-40s).

Altough, I would find it nice to see a tool to have these limits broken down in the future, but the map buildingarea size is ok already imo.

For the podium, it could be an invisible block. For example, you could place it somewhere as a ghost block and it wont affect the map or the match (as it cant be seen)... But at the end when its wanted, it appears in a nice setting..

Mostly at the moment I am placing podiums on their own island, so they do not get in the way of the map, but also exist.

1) Allow CanyonCar and ValleyCar in Stadium (Or create 64x64 mood for other envis)
2) A "Off visual damage and dirt on car" button
