It should be updated. Moved the dependencies to our own host ^^

v0.2 time

Key features:
= New and improved menu:
- News widget, displaying the 3 latest news posts on ESL Trackmania
- League widget, displaying up to 5 live and upcoming cups/leagues on ESL Trackmania
- Calendar widget, an integrated version of ManiaCalendar's Trackmania section
- Note: all the times displayed on the widgets are in your local (PC) time.

= Content:
- Tunnel block set (thanks to xrayjay)
- Cakewallride block, connecting the quarterloops in a perpendicular fashion (thanks to Skyslide)
- Light block set (thanks to xrayjay)
- ESL Sign pack is now included with the Title Pack, you can delete the one found in your Skins/Any/Advertisement folder

= New graphics

Right now the menu's code part is quite messy so crashes may be happening from time to time due to unexpected interactions with the widgets. Still, feel free to break it, I dare you

If you do manage to find a bug or a weird interaction that shouldn't be happening, let me know either via email (kem@staff.eslgaming.com), the support system on ESL or by messaging the ESL Trackmania Facebook page (ingame also fits, tho the chat system is buggy to me).

The actual announcement news is here.

Cheers and good luck, racers

v0.2b Hotfix:
- Fixed "SlopeCurve" dependency issue.


Known bugs:
- Entering another TP and then loading back the Competition TP makes certain fonts crash.
- Calendar widget's daily event display adds a second (empty) page when there are exactly 5 events present.

I made one map on ESL titlepack and used xray's lights in it but when I tried to put it on server (yes, server is in ESL titlepack), it couldn't be loaded. Then I removed lights and map was loaded just fine. Please check if that's rly the problem or I did something else wrong. Tnx

Probably the titlepack on the server is not up to date.

really an awesome titlepack .

I would like to ask how it is going for collecting ESL tracks since ESWC? . It is one of the feature which i am really looking forward .

We're still trying to figure out how to get the most maps without making the pack hundreds of MBs big ^^
What I can say for sure now is that don't expect a solo campaign before MP4

Unexpected update timing, but here are the changelogs for 0.2c and 0.2d releases:

0.2c (February 29th) Changes

= Menu and Graphics
- The background isn't strecthed anymore when switching from the main menu to submenus (Multi, Editors, etc.)
- Removed the style selector buttons from the Calendar widget, this is just a small change towards its full UI overhaul (small teaser).
- Added SpeedFun style support for the Calendar widget
- Fixed Calendar's daily event display showing an extra empty page when there are 5, 10, 15, etc. events
- Calendar caching timer changed from 1 hour to 15 minutes
- ManiaCalendar API DISABLED to have a temporary hot-fix for game crashes.
- Added refresh buttons to ESL League Tracker and Calendar widgets.
- Added TMM and NC1.eu logos to the Supported By tile
- All news items should display their thumbnails now
- The load lag shouldn't be as severe as before
- Fonts don't seem to crash after switching Title Packs (at least we're unable to reproduce it now)

= Content
- Added NC1.eu sign under the name of OTH_Ad-NC1

0.2d (March 1st) Changes

= Menu and Graphics
- Fixed a bug when an empty event link/url was causing the whole game to crash
- ManiaCalendar API reenabled

0.2e (April 10th) Hotfix
UpdateNewsItems shouldn't crash anymore no matter what (latest reason -> news API returning HTML markup because why not)
