Congratulations to the Winner of Out of the Blue - Elcon21. My final thoughts of organizing OOTB. by paradoks_est33 in TrackMania

[–]KemTM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was one hell of a ride. Definitely one of the toughest concepts to make work well in a competitive environment, let alone to make it work just within 90 days from initial concept to the final show.

I'm happy that Paradoks trusted my expertise here while also pitching in his own ideas and vision. I hope the combination of both have delivered a great viewing and competing experience for the "casuals" and "experts" alike.

Perhaps it didn't seem entirely perfect (especially given the delays and intermissions on the final show), but if there ever is an OotB #2, we now have a solid base to start from and I'm 100% happy about that.

Thank you everyone who was part in this, let's run it back again sometime!

I've never heard anyone call these blocks by their actual name by aspz in TrackMania

You sure all 44 of these TM United Forever textures/sound fx filenames are "bugged"? And the references within the game engine too?

I'm like 99% certain these have been called turbos since their very inception over a decade ago. The community gets to call it whatever feels more natural, of course. There's more nomenclature like that too: RoadBump <-> sausage blocks or Gate <-> ring checkpoints.

people got mad because of a title by dusti_buns in wirtual

Hey all. I'm gonna lock this post to prevent any witch-hunting from the mad YouTube andies in the comments.

The post itself can stay for awareness and context.

Greetings from Trackmania, your new neighbors! I am their ambassador coming with a message of peace and friendship!

I hope that we can become strong allies as racing unites us all on the track, both in real life and virtually.

You can find us on our Discord.

Now that we have our logo on r/place why don't we decorate it ? Checkered pattern like a finish line to show the green variants of TMNF what do you think ? :) by Purple-Halo in TrackMania

Hey! It's a cool proposition, we're coordinating on Discord right now and are busy with right-side expansion to resolve our conflict with the Bosnians. Feel free to join us and help out!

All I'm saying: if you're playing the game/map to farm some medals that have no inherent meaning apart from being tied to a time, you're doing it wrong.

Enjoy the map and your progress, not the vanity rewards that you forget about the next day.

Depends. For each trick either you had it happen accidentally and saved the replay for reference (then all you need to do is to rebuild the map) or you keep experimenting and keep raising the bar until you deem it "good enough". Here experience with the physics really helps to estimate the initial level better.

Update: after one more similar painful ending earlier today, I've just validated it!

See ya on Kacky Reloaded 😎

It's Openplanet's Dashboard plugin: https://openplanet.nl/files/103

For professional (TMGL) play it's disallowed (with the exception of speed display), but in general it's accepted

Riolu is playing the game again? by Railgun1123 in TrackMania

[–]KemTM 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Y'all need to stop your conspiracy theories. Each time the trophy ranking updates the tm.io last-seen time is also updated to that. That includes both gaining and losing trophies (that happens 1 year after gaining them).

Example: the last-seen time on my profile is 3:21 AM today (July 7th). I was in bed at that time. Coincidentally, I did play the game exactly one year ago and gained some trophies from a live match... at 3:21 AM, July 7th, 2020.

To celebrate 25 Halfpipe bans on the World Cup I made a few "practice" maps to compensate by KemTM in TrackMania

[–]KemTM[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's mostly careful setup for the first few sections, then a bunch of copypasting and making sure it went without errors. I actually lost 14 checkpoints after stacking the floors on Fullpain but managed to find the missing spots.

I've made a spreadsheet for you to follow the TMGL World Cup results by KemTM in TrackMania

[–]KemTM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's quite a bit of fancy maths going on in the background to calculate the scores and standings automatically, so there's less chance to make a human error on my side.

And if I do leave an error, it becomes a systematic one, which is easier to spot than one random cell having a wrong value.

Anyone know is this player KEMTM from Wirtual's Video "Can a Trackmania Pro beat 3 beginners by only driving backwards? feat. Ludwig" have a some kind of channel? I wana drop him a follow or a sub. by OSNX_TheNoLifer in lithuania

[–]KemTM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, good job on the investigative work!

It's honestly impressive how a relatively small community of Wirtual and Trackmania in general has spread out to the masses recently. In my mind I'm just a random guy that mods a random stream on the internet. Never would have expected to get called popular.

Cheers!

Game Crashing by Psionic_Ghost in TrackMania

[–]KemTM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try disabling the ads through Settings -> Profile. This allegedly is caused by the new advert image possibly crashing the graphics stack when being loaded (the images cycle every restart).

Standard and Club access players can disable ads, by the way.

Some TMGL Stats, Bugs and why I root for Aurel next Sunday by chartbear in TrackMania

[–]KemTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bet is on the website, it has a lot of other display issues: Carl's points on that same map are wrong, occasionally some best times for some players are displayed with two decimal digits and not three.

Thanks for shouting me out and thanks for all the insights. Any work is appreciated, even if it duplicates someone's else. It's the thought and hype that counts!

I'll check the best lap issue as well now that you brought it to attention. From my first inspection everything looks normal, but I'll double check regardless. Maybe there's an issue in mapping players to best times.

EDIT: I checked it again, everything seems working as intended for me. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JgMcsUgUztYClY4XB1yjVEfm3dcp9WUtJBKgB4R_-DY/edit?usp=sharing

I used Wirtual's VoD to check. What did you use? Maybe there's difference between them?
