Maniaplanet Forum

Thanks for the heads up...
Though it looks like they need to change the wording on the download page.

"Open Beta" needs to be removed.

Any news about the update? ETA? Can we have a glimpse or a teaser or something?
Im always curious!

try out the combo title pack, you can get it via the manialink "getcombo" (enter it ingame into the adress field at the top)
the arrow has to be supported by the game mode script for now but there will be a sort of arrow platform some-when maybe

I have three questions.

What was the biggest challenge while developing/updating the game engine for the ManiaPlanet games?

Was it difficult to find a good balance between lightmap quality and map file size?

How much work had to be done to develop the infrastructure behind ManiaPlanet (master servers, etc)?

I guess (maybe im totally wrong ) that ubisoft is behind this

You're wrong, only Nadeo works on the game, Ubisoft is here for communication, marketing...

You're indeed totally wrong ^^ ManiaPlanet master servers are evolutions of previous TrackMania master servers so it represents years of work.

nadeo pretty often makes blocks which do not get to the game because of bad balance/not fitting/ etc. it might be added, it might not.
