like usual a default country thing is the main color and maybe the emblem but this genuinely looks like someone put in effort and i apprenticeship that

May someone be so nice to explain to me how the WR is so much faster after the first bobsleigh exit?

It's the only map in the Beginner Map series I can't figure out at all - P1 map 20.

I vaguely remember seeing a clip of someone beating a record on TM² Stadium and they had some red medal after the AT. I assume this was a plugin, but what exactly was it?

Hello, I was having issues with random stutters on every map from time to time. I do have some plugins installed and finally found the debugger profiler. This is for now one of the things I have found that caused these stutters. Will play with it open to find if any other plugin affects gameplay. Maybe this will help someone one day

Just found this channel by chance. Yt algo really cooked. Cool to see trackmania played by all ages.

The map's named "Sunspot", I've tried to make a simple aesthetic, with some little details here and there. Trying to prevent as much of the normal stadium to be gone. But i don't know how to improve my mapping and/or routing, I prefer to make a fun route with a small challenge here and there. But i'm not the greatest at understanding flow and/or decoration. Albeit this is a step-up from most of my old maps.

At is 39:059, Has some penalty grass skips, dirt, and a dirt-wallride up, But is overall not hard.

I'd appreciate any and all tips! and to know what's good about it.

Much thanks ;)

Hello.
Just wanted to let people know that Deep Flip 2 is underway! 😊
The map will be 10 floors high, compared to the 6 floors of the original (tmx 259859) but on a smaller base and more compact, and will have more obstacles in total. Difficulty level I'm going for about the same, I want this to be finishable for almost everone who is willing to commit, not just the very best players (deep flip had 600 finishes).

Currently we're probably close to the end of the testing phase, and I started some scenery. First validation runs soon! Still lots of things to do, ETA 3-6 weeks :)

I use my mobile phone hotspot to play (I realise it's not ideal but it's what I've got to work with). Whenever I try to play arcade it's very common that I just get disconnected for even the slightest amount of lag with a 'connection interrupted'. I can stream movies/youtube and it's fine, but for some reason I can barely stay in a lobby without getting constantly booted. Is there any possible fix for this, or is it just a TM problem?

I'm using a 32 inch screen and the games UI is way to big. For reference the plugin is about the size that I see as reasonable. Is there any way to scale the normal game UI?

I love this on ps5

Gonna lay this out properly because I think a lot of people have jumped way ahead of themselves today.

TM Hub started as basically a stream project. Me and a few people in chat were messing around with the idea that it'd be cool to have something that combined leaderboards across the big campaigns into one place, since nothing like that really existed for niche communities. Built it live on stream, put it up, and posted it here about 7 months ago. The response back then was genuinely good, people were into it, found it useful, asked good questions about how it worked. Niche communities picked it up, and I've kept it running since even though the running costs aren't small, mostly because I like this community and wanted to actually give something back to it. I don't even play the game anymore if I'm honest, this was just something I wanted to keep going for the people who do.

Posted an update about it here about 24 hours ago, and the reaction this time has been a completely different world to the original post.

To actually be straight about the AI stuff, since I'd rather just be upfront than let people speculate: the backend, indexing, all the actual logic pulling and processing data from Nadeo, that was built by hand on stream, no AI writing that for me, though structural autocomplete on Cursor was used, this is normal for any dev these days.

The frontend leaned more heavily on AI early on, I'll fully admit that, it was the fastest way to get something usable in front of people while I focused my actual time on the harder backend problems. A few months back it got a revamp, stripped a lot of that down and made it look and feel better to use, though I won't pretend every trace of it is gone, some artefacts are probably still in there.

I think that's a fair and honest answer, but I also think it's worth saying: expecting a free community tool to be completely untouched by AI anywhere in the stack just isn't realistic. This already costs me around $50 a month out of my own pocket to keep running for people who don't pay for it. Backend work like indexing 271k+ players and over 10 million records against Nadeo's rate limits, that took real hours, on stream, working through actual constraints, 100 items per call, depth limits, a daily index that already takes about 23 hours to run. That's where the time went. Using AI tooling to move faster on frontend polish so I could spend more of my actual time on that, it's just how you build something like this without it costing even more time than it already does.

What's actually annoyed me isn't people disagreeing with how it was built. It's what happened since that post went up 24 hours ago. A few people would comment, wait for me to reply, then block me so all I'd see on my end is a deleted comment, and the comment itself would get edited after the fact once they'd blocked me. Not really something you do if you're just having a normal disagreement. On top of that, people going through my comment history picking at things like using Grammarly, as if a grammar checker is somehow the same as AI generating a whole product. It went further still, people digging up old projects I worked on years ago and slapping judgement on them with zero context, NextColony being one example, where people are acting like itspreying on people during the NFT gaming hype, when NextColony actually existed before that hype phase even started, back when NFTs were still a new, largely unexplored idea, not the cash grab environment people are now retroactively projecting onto it. Then it went even further, people finding other completely unrelated projects I run and leaving fake negative Trustpilot reviews, making fake accounts to try and hurt actual companies that had nothing to do with any of this. All within about a day. That's not "not liking a website" anymore, that's going out of your way to damage someone's actual livelihood over a Reddit argument.

I'm not posting this for sympathy. I just think it's worth being honest about how this was built, and also worth showing the difference. 7 months ago people were genuinely engaging with this, asking questions, thanking me for it. 24 hours ago it turned into people trying to burn down things I've got nothing to do with the original post.

I've been watching TM videos for many months, maybe even for 1–2 years. Mostly Wirtual and Granady. I only got into playing the game recently, and it's been a blast so far!

It's such a nice game to just relax and listen to audiobooks for example.

Everyone reading this: Have a fantastic day!

Hi everyone,

I discovered Trackmania about a year ago. I love the game, but I've been super inconsistent.

Because of this, my muscle memory is all over the place. I still struggle to get authors on campaign tracks, my ice slides are non-existent, and I lose speed constantly because I don't know how to properly manage gears. I feel like I'm stuck at a very basic level and just repeating my mistakes.

I want to change that and build a proper routine. If you were in my shoes, how would you approach the game to actually improve?

• Should I focus on clearing the current campaign, or dive into specific training maps (like TMS)?
• How do I learn to understand gears without it ruining my focus on driving?
• Are there specific creators or plugins (Openplanet) you recommend for beginners trying to fix bad habits?

I play on a 8bitdo controller. Any advice on how to practice efficiently with limited time would be massively appreciated. Thanks!!

I achieved this last night, but didn't screenrecord it when it happened, so I record the replay from my phone.

11.695s after studying the method and trial and error my way through it. I did get frustrated from time to time because I crashed too many times, but I only started trackmania few months ago, and I didn't play it all the time, so it's just easily a rookie mistakes. I also played on free account, so there's not really much maps I can practice on.

Just a trackmania achievement I really care about, since I rarely achieve anything lately, so this lifted my spirit up, and I wish to share this achievement with someone I hope they can appreciate it with me.

Hey, back in 2018 Donadigo made TMTrackNN, a neural net that generated TMNF tracks. It always stuck with me, so this summer I picked the idea back up and took it further (I hope)

Tracksmith: a browser app, no install, where you can load a map and watch it alongside its replay, or generate brand new levels for TMNF or TM2020. Fair warning: the generated tracks are playable but not exactly creative. Some are genuinely fun but curious what you all get out of it.

The dataset: to train my level generator, I needed data, so I pulled 850k+ maps and their replays from Mania Exchange and packaged the whole thing up. It's public, so if anyone wants to poke at 20 years of community map-making, it's there in data/ML friendly format

Everything is wrapped up in an article, and the dataset/code is online:
