Trackmania

Hello everyone!

Today's update brings a rework of the global look and feel of the menu of Trackmania and 130 new blocks and items. This changelog won't be exhaustive because a lot have changed, but here is a glimpse of it:

* Menu rework! We started to rework the global look and feel of the menu. The architecture stays almost the same. Not everything has been done yet, it will get updated, piece by piece, over the next months (new campaign and room display, new track browser, new profile, etc.).
* New club widget in the top right of the menu: if you have a club pinned, it will be displayed in this widget and accessible at all time. If you don't have the Club Access or any club pinned, then it will rotate between the top 3 clubs at the moment.
* New club activity feature: you can now feature one activity in a club, it will be displayed with a star in your club and it will be shown in the club widget when your club is displayed. Use it as a way to advertise your newest activity to your members!
* New favorite track feature: You can now add tracks as favorite from the pause menu ingame and find them directly in your favorite folder in the track browser.
* You can access profiles in track and campaign rankings in the campaign display.
* Add news display from Ubisoft Connect in the main menu. They will be clickable in an upcoming update.
* Creating a local server will not create a temp matchsettings anymore. You can clean up and remove all temp match settings.
* Fix some water physic bugs (forces weren't apply at the accurate place).
* Fix car and camera shaking when spawning on water.
* Boost messages aren't display multiple time any more if you trigger the same boost.
* Can now pick Macroblocks with Ctrl and delete them as a whole.
* Added 130 new blocks and items (see the list below).

Stay tuned for new updates in the upcoming months!

For club administrators: please note that there will be small changes to the overlay in the club page soon. We are currently changing the round corners of most of our buttons, as a result, the shape of the new activity button will differ a little from before. Also, the club logo will disappear in order to use only the club icon.

Hello everyone,

Today's update is a small update to adjust some UI for the Trackmania Grand League. Along this, there is a fix for multiple script crashes happening while spectating or playing online.

Have fun!

Hello everyone,

Two changes in this new update preparing for the start of the TMGL Spring 2022:

• New values for the action keys. Now you can press 1 for a maximum of 20% steer, 2 for 40%, 3 for 60%, 4 for 80%, 5 for 100% (= reset) and if you re-activate an action key, it will reset the max steer. We hope this change will make the use of action keys more friendly and easier with a gamepad.
• Fix an issue where the timer would not be displayed in spectator mode

Have fun!

Hello everyone!

We hope you're having a great beginning of 2022! In this update we improved the performance for our dear mappers and we improved the performance in multilap among other fixes.

Be sure to check out the TMGL MSI happening this week end!

• Fix a script crash when trying to access Summer 2020 in the Solo menu
• Fix lag spikes when playing a multilap track for a long time
• Fix wrong trophies greyed out in the trophy history
• Fix blue reactor boost and wrong up/down reactor boost in replays
• Improve performance in map editor when using custom items. It improves the RAM usage: instead of loading all the custom items at once, it will only load items when they are used in the map. Drawback: `BlockModels` in the API do not contain the custom items anymore.

Maniascript & Game Modes

• Add UpDirection, LeftDirection and AimRoll to the CSmPlayer class
• Fix the reset of fragile penalty with SetPlayer_Delayed_Reset
• Add possibility to modify time limit in Royal time attack mode

Hello and happy new year Trackmania fans!

Changelog:

• Fix an issue when setting your skin and add more details to errors
• Add possibility to activate a campaign from club administration

Have fun!

Trackmania Grand League Fall 2021 season will begin this Sunday, October 17th with the 16 worlds’ best Trackmania players.

The Trackmania Grand league is back for a new season. 16 players will take part in this prestigious competition with one goal: to be crowned champion on December 19th!

CarlJr is the man to beat this season. The Canadian is coming off a perfect year as he won both previous TMGL Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 seasons, but he is also the reigning World Champion.

Once again this year, you will be able to follow the competition through the different streams set up by your favorite team and support your champion live on Twitch, each Sunday at 8:00 PM CE(S)T. 14 team casts (with English, French and German languages available) and a Global Stream will be available each TMGL Step.

You also can try your chance at the Trackmania Grand League: Open and play the same tracks as your favorite players. A new format more accessible to all players has been deployed for this TMGL: Open 2021-2022. Step 1 will take place on Saturday, October 23rd and will continue every Saturday at 6 PM CE(S)T.

Finally, a brand-new competition is born. The Trackmania Grand League: Challenger! 16 very high-level players will fight each other throughout the season to hope to climb the ladder and join the TMGL Spring 2022! This competition will be played two hours earlier than the TMGL, Step 1 will take place on Sunday, October 17th at 6 PM CEST and will be broadcasted at twitch.tv/trackmania.

Hello everyone,

Small update today to prepare for the Trackmania Grand League coming up this weekend! There will be another update tomorrow solely for TMGL, but we wanted to release the speed boost on ice fix as soon as possible, hence we're sorry for the inconvenience to have to download again.

Changelog:

* Fix animated obstacles not animated in replays
* Fix speed boost when hitting a wall from behind while driving on ice
* You can now navigate within the scoretable with the gamepad or the keyboard if you display it through the pause menu
* Fix an issue with the display of other players stats in their profile
