Let's talk about Collisions.

Dear community, dear Nadeo development team,

I thought alot about this in the recent years, but I never really saw the opportunity to talk about it since "we didn't really need it."

With Trackmania Turbo, I thought about how nice it would be if there would be kind of a mode for collision racing / racing derby. You know, just for fun. As TMT is all about fun, I strongly suggest that there is a possibility for collision racing.

Trackmania was always a game without a collision model and it is still known to be a game without it. It truly doesn't "need" it, but if Trackmania² (or Turbo) persists on growing a bigger playerbase, it should also get the chance to bring something in that could even keep the "noob"-players inside TM for HOURS.

My idea: When the collision-engine is embedded in the game (later), you can turn it on with your script settings. Example modes I could think of are "SurvivalRace"(Rounds with collisions on; using a special start block / multiple starts) and "Derby" (Crash as many times as possible into others).

What do you think? Discuss :yes:

Edit: Typo

Its a nice idea. Trackmania turbo will be all about fun and it could be more fun for this game. I dont think so that this game will be also created for esports

We need it to TM for better gameplay.

Also I can build a title TM Derby

And we need it to the Pursuit :)

I actually also thought about that. Imagine you play with teams of 2 players. 1 Guy who drives a Trackmania car and another guy who sits with a Stormman on the car, shooting the other players :yes:

For this, no collision is required actually ;)
However, it sounds like a interesting new game mode: ManiaMax or MadMania or ... DoubleMania!? :mrgreen:

I have also a dream: At a Multiplayer Server we have a open world (e.g. ManiaPlanet =) on where the Maps that the dedicated Server has installed are build on. So you can see all the Maps beside the other (if you drive out from one Map). This could also be mixed with Maps from SM and in that case you (as a TM-Player) can see the fighting SM-Players... and maybe you can drive though that Map... omg... :teub:

Do you remember this:

I honestly agree at everything you guys said, but for the sake of getting the collisions through first, and with all respect, please stick to the subject. :thx:
