Hello!

New server update available!
http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... -06-16.zip

(only exe changed since previous version;
http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... _delta.zip )

Fix for Joust :
viewtopic.php?f=261&t=38019#p269232

Main changes:

• TM: new GravityCoef paramters to reduce gravity.
• SM: support for custom checkpoint items .

This release does not include the updated UserData\Scripts\Libs\Nadeo\TrackMania\XmlRpc.Script.txt version 2015-03-23, there is the older version 2015-02-23 included... forgotten to update or other reason

1. Why wasnt gravity added to SM?
2. Will this follow in the not so distant future?

I know someone who managed to get Gravity working by hacking MP2... and he was alone :p

Anyways, thanks for the small update

Only reducing gravity ? Increasing it is not possible ? (I want to try that on valley, I've always found the car too light...)
Making it negative to drive on ceilings isn't possible too ?
Come on, Nadeo...

And why a limit on AccelCoef and ControlCoef ? I can't do a bay like

So the bottom line is, for me as a lazy admin of SM battle/royal/elite + TM2 Multi/Sta/Can/Val , is that I don't really need to worry about applying this update?

Hi!

The general picture is that we're quite busy with finishing trackmania turbo, so we don't have a lot of time to test / iterate on maniaplanet right now; so that's why we're staying on the conservative side, and also avoid including new developments in the update. trying to avoid breaking stuff....
We'll resume normal operation on maniaplanet a bit later.

Well as long as you have no issues and a server from this year (there are some maps not loading with older servers), you should be fine.

Btw. why is the name still Beta server? I think we're out of Beta?

i have to agree the server is quite stable now, but the client is still beta.

I wouldn't call the server quite stable, if you have to restart it every four weeks. Or was this issue fixed in the meantime?
