TM² Beta 4 Update

The overall download size is: 330Mo.

• The game first downloads the new updater, and asks to restart.
• Then the launcher completes this first part of the update (requesting administrator rights twice)
• When you launch the game again, it will complete the update.
• An other restart of the game is required for the launcher to complete the installation.
• Done. Enjoy the new version!

Some changes:

• improved updater
• improved multiplayer experience, with a new podium sequence, smoother map loading.
• a few new blocks, including coloring lights in freeride and gp tilt transitions
• new mediatracker features, including the global clip
• camera 1 and 3 are changed and can change again later
• import of cars possible with damage and suspensions
• Bug fixes:
  * known start tricks have been removed
  * the rounds mode now works better (ladder, other cars are less jumpy..)
  * many others…

A few things have changed in this version that need special attention:

• warning all input bindings are reset to default.
• warning the car models from TMF no longer work, you need to use car specifically made for ManiaPlanet.
• warning Maniascript syntax has changed slightly regarding libraries, so scripts may no longer work and need to be updated.
• warning While previous maps are compatible, it will display nothing in multiplayer ending sequence. You will have to put a podium block in your maps and compute shadows again.
• warning There are a few incompatible changes in the manialinks:
  * the “addplayerid” feature has been removed (there’s a new authentication system “ManiaConnect “)
  * the useragent in http requests has been changed.
• warning It is very common during many previous beta in years that players think that we changed the gameplay. It is often a perception, we have not volontary changed the gameplay. PF are no longer compatible because of start bloc change.
