Level Editor in Demo Mode?

[Hennihenner]

Hi there!

So i preordered Trackmania Turbo somewhat around September, and since its not released yet and Nations forever is kinda getting boring, i decided: Why not play a newer Game in the mean time?
Thus i went to the steam store, realizing that 20$ is not really worth half a month. Thanks to some nice reviewers of the Trackmania² Canyon game, i now know that i can get a free demo.

My question: Is there some way i can use the level Editor in the free Demo /Play 2 Days, then 1 hr a day?
Because the lvl editor is my favourite thing about Trackmania.

Thanks, and have a nice day!

Possibly during the first 48h, the editor will work, and then stop, but I can't tell as I did not challenge this barrier

The demo does not allow customization, however it is possible to create tracks with local accounts (unconnected to keys), which basically have the same restrictions as the demo accounts.

But the main target of the demo is to allow people the use the multiplayer feature, and to rely on what the others have created with the paid versions.

Anyways the release of Turbo is not that far anymore (before the end of the month), therefore I won't recommend you to also purchase Canyon right now

As TMarc has said, the level editor is available at the beginning of the demo (I know that much for sure) but also like TMarc said... I don't know how long it is active. When I was using Valley in demo mode it bugged out and the timer never went down (I have no clue how that happened, but it did).

As for reccomendations for what to do till TMT is out... just run through some custom content in TMNF since you still can get new tracks, texture mods, vehicle models plus full access to the replay editor as far as I remember.

Well, You can download a random titlepack and use their editor. I tested with my TM²Forever titlepack with a random "demo"-account and the counter did not count down.^^ It keeps the 1h rule^^

Dunno how it works for you, but some polish dude has made a lot of maps for the Pursuit server, and he has just only demo account.

As far as I understand, you still have full use of the editor even in demo mode, as long as you are aware that use of it can count against your daily time limit. I experiment all the time in Storm, and I still do not have its full version.

For the record, if the title you are in has fewer than 100 players active, the demo timer will pause at that time (been like this for awhile, so I can not remember where). Likewise, if the active player count rises to 100 or more while you are in the title, the timer will resume and decrease normally.

Yes, according to front page, demo time is supposed to be unlimited while inside a Storm or Stadium title.

However, my demo timer still decreases sometimes while I am in a Storm title. If I didn't have the full version of Stadium, it would almost certainly do the same while I am in Stadium.
