It won't solve the separation of players or the visibility of the title packs. With a solution like this, the title packs will remain empty.
I would love to see the whole title pack system to be redesigned.


When I start the game (before having to choose and load a title pack), I want to see the list of every existing servers.
Thanks to that, the servers in the title packs will be visible. It will be easier to find servers with people on it.

If I try to join a server on a title pack that I haven't, it want it to be downloaded and installed automatically.
Thanks to that, people wouldn't have to take a lot of time to install a title pack (find the manialink, download the title pack, choose a station to install it, load the station...)
It would even be possible to create very small title packs for gamemodes.

Dont make it a wishlish-thread please!

@Hylis,

I really would love to see the actionmaker
About the overlays... It looks cool for Elite, but what if you have titles at a smaller size? Then it is useless.
But overlays are better than no overlays for sure!!

For me, the perfect solution would be :
1. Start Shootmania in Steam

2. The game launches ( only Shootmania ) and you get a little menu on the left:
- Multiplayer
- Lan
- Map Editor
- Action Maker
- Replay editor
- Options

On the right you could show info(news) or your character(stormman) or maybe buttons to official manialinks
(new skins, new horns, ... )

3. You click on 'Multiplayer' and a serverbrowser appears with filters.
By default it loads all servers. Also a tab with favourite players is shown.

4. You adjust the filters ( select gametype - public servers - not empty - LP - skill - maxping)
The filter is saved automatically.
Official gametypes (Joust, Royal , Elite, ... ) could also be in TABS at the top of the serverbrowser.
The tab you select will be saved for the next times u game.

5. You select a server and you connect to it and play.

Did you really read Hylis' posts ? Or maybe you meant "nothing this year that interests me".
The Action Maker isn't exactly nothing.

Action Maker is only thing I'm looking forward now, and QM

Sry but what exactly is the Action-Maker, what can you do with it?

This is the new in-developement Machinima tool, that allows you to create actions, animations, and so on...

At the moment we know that it will integrate in ShootMania only.

Take a look in here !

Thanks for your answer

Talking about that, I wonder if it can integrate to TrackMania too, that'd be crazy

Actually the typical nadeo answer is more when it's done
As Hylis said, you will have more information during the Paris Games Week where will happen the Grand Final of the ESWC from 30th October to 3rd November.

when its done haha
