Yeah, lots of stuff still isn't in the game. It should be there for the official release date though.

Hopefully more tiles for the editor. On the second mountain of the track I made, I couldn't even put in a check point because it was pointing the wrong direction. No way to rotate it the other way and they didn't have mirrors for cave checkpoints (only normal tiles).
 
This game is pretty :3

/\/\/\/\ So that's how you get wider turns inside of caves. You punch away some rock and take it outside temporarily. I kind of boxed myself into a corner on the map I made because I didn't realize how limited things were in them.
 
I can't decide if I like the steering on the left analog or the D-PAD. I keep going back and forth on it just like I can't decide if I like the the pedals on R1 and L1 or on X and Square.

I've played so many games with different controls that my mind can't decide which is best anymore...lol
 
Just made a huge 4 minute long track, compiling the lighting is gonna take ages lol

I took advantage of 80% of the pieces, I tried to make it as varied as possible. I'll post it later tonight.

I'm snatching this game up this when I get home, so at the very least you won't be in last place.
 
Some of those 'you have to go extremely fast to just reach this platform' tracks are annoying. I have few perfect drives and even though it's really exciting when you get everything right, the 99% that you don't is annoying.

What are you using for a controller? Or are you using some special kind of software? 360 pad doesn't let you use the d-pad (or at least it won't let me.)

I think they call them fullspeed tracks. No errors or you wont have the speed to make a jump etc. Some tracks even have more than one 'fullspeed checkpoint' per run. Hilarious. I like them, but in small doses.
 
Ok, so I don't know if this has been answered already, but should my car look like this?

Running a 5870, with settings topped. Is it just a side-effect of it being the beta?
 
hey ubisoft, if you're intent on ramming your horseshit proprietary store down my throat, atleast make sure the payment system fucking works.

I think it's a side effect of FXAA sucking. If you want real AA, turn the shaders down a couple notches. It's not the greatest choice to make, but worth it IMO.

EDIT: On second thought, that does look pretty nasty. I was immediately attracted to all the jaggies, but that's got a whole smorgasbord of ugly happening.

Yes, those things. I like them too, but just sometimes. This afternoon I had a stint where it was only fullspeed tracks and I was so annoyed because I was failing at all of them. Terrible.

I'm using my Dualshock 3 with Motioninjoy. At first, I didn't enable anything but the default settings and it allowed me to use the DPAD for steering and R1 and L1 for pedals. When I enabled it to emulate a 360 controller, it changed to analog steering with the same buttons for the pedals.

I'm not sure which I like more but at least there's an option for me to try both out.

I tried that and although the rims look better, the car itself still looks terrible. Here's my configuration...

If someone who's car doesn't look like a massive pile of crap can tell me a few things to change, let me know!
 
Figured out the old skin was just stuck in pure low-res. When I started editing my car, it looked fine. Thanks!

EDIT: FML, the rest of the map looks like crap though.
 
I've had Trackmania since Sunrise, but whenever I played online, I just went to Suggested servers. Which are always Time Attack.

But you know what? Rounds is way better. Shit.

Time Attack = ability to reset to start or checkpoint at any time

Rounds = gotta wait until someone finishes to get another go at the track


Personally I feel that Time Attack servers is the best option for when I'm playing without friends, and Rounds for whenI have friends online to talk to

Damn, and I was worried my 2 minute track was long.

Never made a track in any of the Trackmania games despite playing the hell out of them, here's what I've made so far.

Anyone know if there's a way to change the time of day after you've created a track?
 
Planets are an in-game currency with which you can either set official times with in solo mode (this is assuming it works the same) or buy community created stuff like new skins or car models. I don't really think there's a use for it atm, though.
 
Can you have the shaders on Fast to get the AA options while still having PostProcess FX on and working? It looks like it should work in the options menu but I don't feel like I'm getting the motion blur. It might be a placebo effect from the lack of blur from FXAA...

So is there a GAF group that I could join. I'm playing about an hour each day and it feels alone right now :(
Click to expand...

Yep, the info for it is right here:


Dizzy-4U said:
I created the NeoGAF group. JOIN!!!!!!

Login: NeoGAF
Password: believe

I think it costs 100 planets to join, but whatever, I don't know what those planet points are for.
Click to expand...

Unfortunately you can't really do anything with groups yet, but feel free to join up and add the other people to your friends list.
 
Whenever I try to purchase the game, it just sends me back to the home page when I click "purchase". I've tried Paypal and card.

Please help. :(

Nice job dude, I was getting ready for bed but after watching the vid it's TM time again.

Your track looks really difficult but awesome. The game is so pretty!

Dammit, I wanted to play tonight but the game keeps kicking me out after one race. I know the problem is on my end and my crappy ISP but whatever, I guess I'm gonna play some Street Fighter instead...

I didn't noticed any motion blur at all when I set the shaders to fast. I took like 150 screenshots and none of them had motion blur.
 
I can't connect to ANY servers, it just gets stuck on "Contacting Server" and then tells me it couldn't connect.

Anyone know how to fix this? Really want to play.

Ah, I was wondering why you kept joining and leaving. Hope that gets sorted for you.

So does anyone know how rankings for the nations work? Maybe it just doesn't update as often as individual rankings, but it's way off. According to the leaderboards the state of Washington has more points than the U.S.A.
 
I can no longer connect to any servers.

I just join the server and it goes to a black screen, then "The Match was Interrupted", thoughts?
 
Seriously pissed off with this game, why must it look ugly dammit!

Can I have someone with no visual issues post their Advanced Settings "Display" and "Game" tab please? I need to start comparing. Really would appreciate it.

Seriously, it took me 2 evenings to make the track and the majority of that time was spent trying to validate it without wiping horribly at some point. I did try to make it forgiving though, I'm pretty sure you can complete the track no matter which checkpoint you start from.

Trying to thread the car into the tunnel at the very end after the bank near the end is the hardest part for me. A sub 02'00"00 time is very possible though I think.

Get the .Gbx here if anyone fancies a go, password is editallyouwant if you want to mess with it.

Oh, I meant to ask, did you play with keyboard or gamepad for that video? Also maybe it was intentional, but the last half of the track or so seems to be a little confusing in places, like you could easily take a wrong turn.
