Sneak Peek #7: Around the Online World of Trackmania Turbo!

[WTCYoStunt12]

...In TMT, you can create rooms that exist forever (until you erase them)....

From where do you have this info? I've never heard anything about that.

In the SneakPeek :

The technical room

Then concerning the technical side of rooms, we are using a method called “half-dedicated” which means we are hosting the rooms on dedicated machines but the players are commanding the room creation & deletion, with the settings they want.

The advantage of this method is to guarantee a ping as low as possible, an easy way to setup servers as well as the ability to run them up to 128 seats!

And some informations Ceorvan and Hylis said but I cannot find them again in the 50 pages of the TMT Q&A

I think you misunderstood, because the technical info behind it is basically how CS:GO does lobbies, as well.

[WTCYoStunt12]

In CS:GO, you can't control the creation nor the deletion of the server (except when you host it/create a dedi server).
In TMT, you can control your server creation and deletion but you can't host it or create your own dedi server).

And you can see servers with no players in it.


PS and not in the subject:
FPS in the top left corner -> PC version

Hmm no, you're still misunderstanding.. Nadeo, you shouldn't have put that technical paragraph in there, it's just confusing people

[WTCYoStunt12]

Nando please give us a bit more of information

In fact, F2P games are using (mostly) p2p to create rooms to play. In TMT, you can create rooms that exist forever (until you erase them) and there are hosted in Ubisoft servers. So you're the masteradmin of the "servers" you create and they are deleted when you want.

Nah, you are most of the time choosing server region, then channel(server), then room. P2P is used on co op games and ubisoft titles for no reason.

Oh, I admit, the fact that there's 0 players in a room is quite interesting..

Will there be a dedimania-like feature online, so that we can see the records made on a map even in the others servers. Thanks

Yes, I hope it too

[Cerovan]

Can I be the first to say that some of this UI looks like it could use some improvement?

Work in progress, the screens are few weeks old

Is it possible to create a server with random maps from any player? (to discover new maps)

No but you'll be able to browse the tracks made by players through the TMT Player Page.

And having the possibility to create a room with up to 128 seats... that's just incredible!

The information changed between the writing of this Sneak Peek and now, it'll 100 places maximum.

I've got some questions. How many servers can you run at the same time? I guess only 1, right?

It should be around 10

And what is the "Full throttle" style? Similar to fullspeed? Or a "just press forward" style? And hosting your own rooms will be completely for free, right? So no extra-payment is necessary?

Full Throttle is Press Forward

The hosting of the room will be free, no extra payment

You are creating a room for free that will exist until you or all players will leave so you can't make multiple rooms because you need to be in one(King of the lobby).

A room will exist until the owner destroy it. If no one is on the server after an amount of time, it'll be in standby mode (the server is stopped and will be restarted when a player will try to join it).

It won't be possible.
