Welcome Annki!
I hope you have an awesome time at Nadeo and at Maniaplanet, and I hope you'll help to make TM², SM and QM as good as possible

I would not be the killjoy, but should it not go in a different / separate thread? ... I thought this thread is about TM2 News ... and btw.: Welcome Annki.

When the subject of block import came up in another topic, this is what Hylis had to say about it:

Block import was a feature designed for TrackMania 2, when we wanted to make the release of the 3 environments to come with the ability to import blocs. Because we would do ShootMania and QuestMania, and that it would be quite a long time.

Now that we are working on ManiaPlanet, we prefer to wait. TrackMania 2 development will be spread over the release of the three environments and we will take time to see how it goes from there.

In addition, the block became quite more high definition, and that's a very big challenge to make. But I can tell that yes, if we do block import, it would have used collada today.

Maybe a moderator will add it to the OP?

Oh, and welcome Annki!

Yes, i will change the first post.
It really is too bad that block import won't be there for the moment, or maybe even not at all.
A lot of people really looked forward to that.

What about ManiaZones (or, simply, Zones)? I'm pretty sure that will be included again in TM², but I would prefer smaller zones. For example, now my currently zone is:
• World » Italy » Veneto
It would be nice if I can also select my province and my comune (township or municipality):
• World » Europe » Italy » Veneto » Asolo
Any information about this?

[Knutselmaaster]

Well, maybe we are in the maniazones of the new games here?
I don't know that but it seems plausible.

Or we can do Like first TM + zones, you put Veneto, but you have the option to put your city or localisation.

[haenry]

Adding your city to the zone would be cool. Then you can see how many persons are playing TM² in your city. So you may meet them
But on the other hand everyone knows where you are living.
So an option, if you want to show it, would be nice. Another possibility is, that only the players of the same city can see it, but others only see the bigger zone.
