This is a nice idea !

-Movable and/or alternate position for spedometer
-Movable and/or alternate position for checkpoint timer

The CP timer gets directly in my line of vision for some tracks. Some just turn off the UI, but I find the information useful such that I don't think of that as a solution. An alternate position would be great. Likewise, I find the spedometer useful at times, but making the quick glance at the bottom right to see if I'm going 366, 368, or 370 can be risky. If for example, I could place each of these in left-top-center and right-top-center it would be ideal.

-Multiplayer Map Editor

I have an Early Access Steam game called Reflex (arena fps, cpma styled) which has this. It is absolutely amazing to switch between playing and editing on the fly with as many players as the server can handle. After experiencing this firsthand it is crazy that other games don't have this already. Especially considering how prevalant the map editor is for all of ManiaPlanet it would be such a compliment to the game and community.

-Scrollable Server Browser

Whenever I look for servers, the same servers keep popping up on multiple pages, over and over. It's like the browser fully refreshes and reorders all the servers when only the arrow is pressed for the next page. There is no point in looking for other servers when all I see are the same ones repeating. Plus, not to sound rude, but it's 2015... I've had scrollable server browsers in other games for well over 15 years now... The current method is just particularly not user friendly in comparison to what I'm used to in other games.

-Scrollable Leaderboards
-Replays that save with the thousandths

That's all I got. I'm still happy I can change car models in the simple editor from the last update.

- Adding a search function on the home screen like Windows's Modern UI.
|--> Without clicking anywhere, you type a letter and only results having this letter are shown (the same for many letters)
- Come back of the old Canyon menu music. this one
- Replace the main font by the same one vectorized.
- Create an ingame tool allowing us to design items like Blender, but also allowing us to place and adjust game's textures on it.

Why ? This would avoid loosing time looking for a specific titlepack.

I'll support this!

And what is meant multiplayer editor? This is the online to connect random player or solo home mode?

If is online:

Here it is necessary to devise a system finely authorization.
Let it will be the server. We need a session which will be allowed to edit the map together two people. (Make more players I think it makes no sense to do - because - the load on the server editor ManiaPlanet).

Besides, I think that it may have some problems if we get more players. Let's say it will be the four players. The first player will be built map. The second player play it, but the third player disturb them by removing blocks. The last player. generally be spamming chat - overloading the server ManiaPlanet and breaking session even more.

And..

There is also need to devise a system to remove and add participants.

Leave alone the 1 th player. and 2 th player.; and banned the 3 th player or 4 th player.
> Deprive the opportunity to build, giving a possibility to "look and not touch."

Kick out 3 th player. Warn a 4 th player - leaving pending for 10 minutes (or more).

Now calculating this + chat + editor + main control panel, working with players, mods, skins, locators and environments and so on. + Additional settings.

This all this must accommodate ManiaPlanet? What do you think?

On my view this is difficult. Besides it does not all have excellent internet connections another that proves the complexity of the task.

So - the decision "one-on-one" (face to face) is the most reasonable solution.

Someone is connecting to your map editor and you are building together as long as host will not leave, like in Reflex fps.

I remember FPS game "Sauerbraten", which have awesome coop edit mode

The new proposals from me: Pose Collector

No wishes here, but I wanted to say thank you to the CTRL-Z feature in the mediatracker. It has proven to be very useful recently for me ! Not only that it lets me revert things, but the history does not have a limit, which means I can CRTL+Z so long until I started editing 2 hours ago.
