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,

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

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 everyone,

Today, we pushed a small update to fix the behavior of the cruise control block effect among other changes. If you see any other issue with the block, do not hesitate to report it on the forums.

Have fun on the tracks!

Full changelog:

* Fixed the cruise control block effect
* Added pad rumbles
* Fixed an issue where the list of members in a club wouldn't load completely
* Fixed an issue where the campaign ranking would not be displayed if the player haven't done a record yet

Hello everyone!

We continue to rework, piece by piece, the general UI of the game. On today's update, the track browser and the campaign and room pop ups have been redesigned. We hope you will like them!

Full changelog:

• New Campaign and Room pop up UI! We are aware of a regression where you can't see players anymore on a dedicated server, it will come back in a future update.
• New Track Browser UI! Clubs and club campaigns have a new asset that will be used throughout the whole game soon.
• Improve fog calculation when there is a lot of them.
• Fix soft lock in the menu after the medal display at the end of the race.
• Fix car disappearing in the matchmaking and royal pages when returning from a match.
• You can now look upwards in the editor, by keeping moving your cursor down even when it looks like you can't look up higher, it will "unlock" the camera.

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!

Today's update brings a fresh air to the list of Clubs and the Arcade (online rooms) pages. We're also adding a new feature to the mediatracker: video makers are now able to display any image or video they want in the panels of the stadium!

For club administrators, please not that the club logo will be completely removed in the upcoming weeks. Please use the club icon instead!

Full changelog:

General

• New Clubs page! The icon and vertical club assets have slightly changed. You can find the new templates on https://www.trackmania.com/medias/. The club logo will be removed in the upcoming updates, be sure to replace it by a club icon.
• New Arcade page UI!
• Keep the last page and tab visited in the new track browser throughout the game.
• You can now add or remove a track from favorites directly in the Track Browser by clicking on the heart.
• Display tracks with an heart when they are already in your favorite folder in the track browser.
• Fix a bug where you would join a room visited before instead of the current one.
• Fix a rare script runtime error with a Null user in matchmaking.
• Fix an issue displaying "0:00:000" instead of the next medal time in a room using a player's dedicated server.
• Add back the players list in the rooms popup which use players' dedicated servers.
• Fix "add favorite track" button in the pause menu not displayed correctly.

Track editor

• You can use CTRL+Click to select items in Copy/Paste mode.
• Fix an issue to select items when superposing them on top of each other and in macroblocks.
• LatestBlocks plugin no longer hides Author Info UI
• Updated fonts and looks for default Map editor plugins

Nadeo Importer

• Nadeo Importer items with LODs will now use the most detailed LOD for collisions

Mediatracker

• You can now display anything you want in the stadium panels in the media tracker. To do so, you need to create a folder \MediaTrackerAds in your Trackmania folder. Inside the folder, you can put images named after the ratio of the screen where you want to display them (16x9, 2x3 and 64x10). You can add a suffix to create a rotation between the medias according to alphabetical order, for example if you have "16x9_A.png" and "16x9_B.webm", it will rotate between the two files on the 16x9 screen (same rotation as the ingame advertisement). Example of folder:

• When respawning to a checkpoint, no longer breaks "Already Triggered" conditions

Have fun on the tracks!
