Small beta update

-Elite mode is now compatible with maps with checkpoints, while it was only in Elite Exp before.
-Elite mode now includes the toss system to define the starting team in attack and goal average to decide the attacker of the decider map
-Custom modes can include laser and rockets to eliminate each other. It is an optional setting of Elite. It will be force to one or another later, dependings on the tests. Hitbox of rockets have been reduced comapred to the Elite Exp Laser vs Rockets
-Feedback for Laser vs Rocket have been improved with air blow sfx, +0 signal and specific sound.
-Some optimisations and logs to to help us improve some parts.
-Offline access to maniaplanet even if lan remains unavailable at the moment (I expect for two months, but can't be sure).

Our goal is to go toward 1.4 with gameplay evolutions for Elite Exp, callvote for maps and other stuff. We are already working on the version.

Very nice, especially the offline support

Well.. If I create an offlineprofile, it seems not to work. I have to download Storm or Canyon..
what is the meaning of offline support?

It is simply the "stay offline" capacity that was in Canyon that is back, but it works on online profile anyway. there is no offline additional features than before.

You should have implemented walldodges too in normal elite with this new update...hopefully next time; GJ!

There was a nasty but small bug. We're actually re-releasing the update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
(no major security stuff : the player prediction was broken, other players were making weird moves on your screen, not reflecting their real actions)

The dedicated server will come soon.


@RamCUP2000 : the well-guessed link contains a server with the nasty bug too, so don't use it ;p

Good update !

But the sound (when you jump and you have less than 50% of stamina) is strange, maybe it should not be played when you just jump and don't use stamina. In others words : It should be played only when you use stamina, no ?

Edit : Others players should hear this sound too ! It could be a good way to fake sound, or to know if the attacker have or not a lot of stamina left.
