I want to lose badly to someone in a race!  Message me in Steam, please! 

P.S. Am I the only one who fucking hates track D05?

[Eschatos]

I'd love to race someone.

How do make uber1337 text in editor?!?!?

If you're asking what I think you're asking, use the "Paint Stickers" option while painting a car and then you'll see an "Enter Text" control on the right side of the screen.  Type something in that, click the circle button next to where you typed, then mouse over the car.  It's a pain to get the text oriented in the right direction, or I don't know how to do it easily yet.

Oh, forgot to install it on my laptop as well. ^_^

My account I believe is scottygrayskull. When this is done installing I'll correct it if it's wrong.

Why didn't anyone tell me this was awesome?  Also, I have made a track that is pretty fun and challenging.  If anyone wants to give it a shot I'd be willing to share the track (that is if I figure out how).  Also, does anyone know how to create the intro videos and such?  I'm kind of lost on all of that.  Im not sure how to get the camera to fly around while I record nor to follow my car.

Oh Snap!

Would love to get some competition going sometime, but the multiplayer aspect seems like it needs lots of work (ie, me and Chooly couldn't figure it out when we tried at one point)

[Vandamguy]

you guys want to bump this and make it an event ?

[1Trace1]

Yea the multiplayer setup is really convoluted. I was able to create my own server but my brother couldn't join it.  Also its lame that other players only see you as the default country car.

If somebody can figure it out, I'm all for it. 

[HuckBerryGee]

Not being able to crash into other people make this game fail.

[Vandamguy]

its a racing simulator , not a crash sim 
thats what games like burnout excel at.

which are total fail because of association with ea

[Fail Medic]

Psh, bless "not being able to crash into other people"!  I would not want an asshole sitting near a ramp launch and blocking it to cause a pile-up.  Fuck that.

I played Trackmania multiplayer only once so far.  I haven't tried to host yet.  If anyone needs a guinea pig, please buzz me on Steam.

[Vandamguy]

if you are interested in TM multi , reply to this thread in the same fashion that failmedic has indicated his desire to play

updated my first post with delicious info

[Wedge]

I can try somehow or something yes o.o

[Fail Medic]

Today was great fun save for the odd "I can't see your server at all" bits.  More people with everything ironed out might be even better.

While it's true you can't slam into people, you can point and laugh whenever someone sails off the track.  "Bye, Fail Medic!"  Or you can stifle snickers when you hear Vandamguy's curses after being bucked off the track when he tries to slam his car-penis too forcefully into it.  Or you can watch Geoff merrily roll around in the dirt off-track while everyone zooms past.

We didn't try any of the really crazy tracks with the loop-de-loops and the vertical ramp transfers and the quarter-mile-long centripetal tracks ... yet.

Looking forward to next time.

[copulatingduck]

Was loads of fun. Maybe next time we should just hijack a server, there's tons of them.

[Eschatos]

The multiplayer is terrible.  Lag is unbelievable.
