Emotions pure!

Does that include custom title packs made by players?
I really hope so...but even if not, that's really great news

That's incredible news! I played TM for two years before I even opened the editor. So there's definitely a lot to pull players in, without even touching the editor or single player.

This is a really huge development to bring many new players to TM2! I'm looking forward to hearing more specifics about this.

Amazing news. I hope it'll bring more players into the world of TrackMania.

The 10 years access will be limited to some servers hosted by Nadeo Live.

Then, we should be able to make a demo solos, which are really efficient to bring more people, since it could be less intimidating for many.

Then, the free access for custom titles should be for Maniaplanet 3, later, alongside the mixmaping, the top titles, the generalized quick overlay (see Elite) and other things that are part of the system.

So, there are already three steps ahead to welcome more players. And we have others afters.

By the way, among good additions for TM, there should be evolutions on the scripts capacities for modes, update of the modes for using them and items with start/cp/finish/static lights. These ones should re-inforce the interest of title packs.

Fantastic News ! All we could wish for

Is it possible to know how it will work ? Even if this feature is not for tomorrow it is important for title design. For example, to know what sould be the objects priority for title. Or to work on compatibility between Canyon and Valley mods (Storm also ?)
Mix mapping could be a huge feature for the Maniaplanet diversity

Edit : i understand mix-enviro but i think it is more mix mapping (free editor)

About the first step, will this include being able to play all game versions online together (e.g. multienviservers) or will it be still limited to one environment? Because my fear is, that we will get a player push for stadium only while canyon and valley will still be low on players.

And about the mix mapping, will this allow to select freely between ground/air versions of the blocks to be placed either in the air or the ground? This would be a really important function for me as well as selecting single mountain sections via the copy paste tool to be able to fix clipping errors.

Looking forward to further news about this
