[Pending]Titlepack menu - remove 3x3 SIZE message

Today I found out that the stadium, canyon and valley station buttons show this message:

"DISPLAY THE STATION IN LARGE 3x3 SIZE TO SEE ALL THE FEATURES"

Could you please add an option "never show this message again" for the people who want to keep their buttons small.

I really miss the possibility to double click these buttons. The little "enter title" button inside the button doesn't do it for me. Plus if a button is selected but not entered (for whatever reason like checking you mail or buddy list first) you can't see which titlepack it is anymore so you have to select another one before you can see which one it is.

+1 for "never show again" option.

And second thing is: after resizing any station to 3x3 to see "all features" and resizing back to 1x1, it has lost its original position although I'm not in titles tiles editing mode.

Now please either have a automatic resize on one title click (bring the selected tile to the forground as new popup?).
Or alternatively give the possibility to have the 3x3 tiles tilable below each other (in fact 9x the small unit in vertical), then only one click to see the features would not need a resize and lots of scrolling to the right all the time. ;)

Hi everyone,

Well done for this nice idea, but I don't want force my title to a 3*3 block to enter a title or see my stats - I don't need it. But now I have an ugly window which tell me that I can scroll to 3*3 and allow me to use the enter button to join the title. Pls remove the tip and allow me to click everywhere to start the title, thx a lot.

Cheers,
Kripke

Yeah, that's also my impression. Surprisingly I did not see any "micro-update" message recently, and the ManiaPlanet version is still the same since August this year.

Merged the additional topic here.

Those can be done by updating the manialinks as some titles for instance Elite has with the Graph.

Its a combination of ManiaScript/Manialink. [ManiaLib]

Edit:

What hylis mentioned:
the generalized quick overlay (see Elite)
Its available for Canyon, Valley, Stadium.

I've edited the current "small" version to add the link on the whole background.

This is things that can be done server side, indeed.

The concept of interface in station is as old as the maniahome station, and even before release of Canyon where we were imagining that each station could be an 'app', also from the community. But we are working on some stuff on Maniaplanet 3 in this area. The though part is make the feel of having separate entities as well as provide a good browsing environment, all without being to complex for the new users but enough powerful for the advanced.

It's a matter of time, but I really hope to find a good balance. news, adds & most popular titles are to be added in the right way as well. Even if some player think the countrary, I believe that making titles exist is important. The bigger the frontier will be, the more it will be logical to have custom stuff in each. Also, it's a good separation to know what can takes data/ranking and further profile information, while providing for the creator the ability to convey some sort of identity to the place.

I would like that the overlays on the main stations: storm,canyon,stadium,valley to be available with quick browse, in order to make the waiting easier. But there is always priorities.
