People who only rent game servers won't be able to use it anyway. The tool need to launch servers by itself so I don't think server hosters would allow that anyway.

Another thing to know is: before extending it to a multi-server tool, don't you think it has to be well tested on a single server first? I mean, adding features too fast never helps because debugging is way more complex.

So no, it's not a priority at the moment. Moreover, as magnetik said, HTTP doesn't need that much resources, especially because people are more often on the game servers than on the manialink (so a few requests per second isn't a big deal)

Hi there,

We're restarting this test! It will be tomorrow evening, same competition name, same schedule, same maps (first post updated). Hopefully there won't be any OVH fiber cut this time :)

U should advertise these cups on facebook/twitter pages. Just a small percentage of players are used to read this forum :0010

As it's in early beta stage, we prefer to keep theses first tests a little bit "secret".

If you know team or people that would be interested, feel free to invite them.

J'ai enregistré ma team hier ( MM2 ) mais on ne pourra très certainement pas être tous dispo à 20h. Je n'ai pas trouvé le moyen de nous désinscrire (option a rajouter :p) donc je préfère vous prévenir :)
Sinon c'est juste un détail mais je trouve que la navigation dans les différents manialink pourrait être améliorée: Par exemple quand je passe du manialink "competition page" à un manialink "team page" pour avoir les infos d'une team ou même au manialink "registrations" je ne peux plus retourner en arrière sur le manialink de la compet. En fait il manque simplement un bouton "précédent" dans la barre de menu en haut comme on en trouve dans tout les navigateurs internet.

Indeed it's not possible to unregister at the moment so I did it manually ;)

Btw, there are "previous" and "next" buttons in the top bar (just to the left of the address field). You can also make a right click anywhere to go to previous page.

I think you should make it avaible to check the tournament on webiste, aswell as in-game. Couse ppl that dont have maniaplanet may want see brackets and such!
And also, u should sort the competitions by date, so the closest competition is far top =)

:shock: J'avais jamais fait attention a ces deux flèches :shock:. En fait chez moi ces deux flèches sont a peine visible elles ne ressortent pas du tout, mais je pense que ça doit venir de mon ecran^^. J'ai pourtant cherché un moment ça me paraissait bizarre de pas trouver ce bouton. :P

Indeed there is some issues with the competition ordering. I'll take a look.

Nobody knows:

points limit.

map veto system.


The server starts and it says "playing!" in a green box. what does that mean? Can I change map or should I play the map randomly picked by the server?
