dunno how to help you, but just wanted to say the idea is awesome

mpbc does not support lightsources yet, that'll be for a later release. For now the next version will include surface types (such as dirt and turbos; done), LOD's (almost done) and perhaps referencing ManiaPlanet textures.

Please please dear Nadeo, Hylis, and whoever with the power to let nice things happen...; Employ this genius guys, arc and coastkid, give good salary and let them work full time with this ! ! ! In that way u will earn in they`re salary many times by increased sale and a ocean of happy players that will never ever complain about Nadeo being so slow to keep they`re promises...

Amen....

The thing is, mpbc contains only a tiny amount of custom code. All the code for converting models and writing block .gbx/.pak files is already there in ManiaPlanet. mpbc just uses it in a new combination. Writing mpbc in its current state would be trivial for someone with ManiaPlanet source code/documentation; I have neither of those so I need to figure everything out by myself.

People shouldn't poke too much at Nadeo for being "slow" at keeping their "promises" though (did they ever *promise* custom blocks?). After all they are in the middle of developing two entire new games right now!

Yes and no.

Make your own custom blocks or something they wrote in the comersial but i think they removed that kinda quick, and i think everyone including my self - tought that we could make our own blocks and it sound so fun but later it shows that it was just a connection of available blocks, but i heard that it was something during beta iam not sure what it was or if it was the same. ?

They first announced it as a block import feature, but cancelled it during the first release, with the promise that it might come later (e.g. after the 3rd TM2 envi).
But as arc pointed out, the foundations are already there and therefore i guess it will come sooner or later.

Or Nadeo is going to troll us by removing the base of custom blocks in MP 2.0.

Hope it comes sooner than to 3rd env..Becouse its a year away....and no info about valley.

Btw: Can you make an engine killer. ? arc_
