Oh damn it, I already caught myself hitting backspace after missing the loops in my trial run of WSC#5...  :D (track is pretty nice, BTW)
Anyway, I'm starting to try online a bit more often now - even met Paleke briefly a few days ago :) We really should reunite all of us into a server one of those days...

I'll have to install TMNF before then. Tracks are different in TMUF. I'm not sure the game can display the replay without the track itself.

Maybe not Krys - it seems .gbx files contain the track proper within them alongside with the target time (reminds a certain other game, doesn't it? :)). Since TMUF has TMNF Stadium within it, you will probably be able to race it.

I already played online with dstien once.
Maybe we should define a time period and a specific server.

Official trailer showing the track editor of DS version of TrackMania : http://www.trackmania.com/videos/tmds-editor/
The DS game will be officially sold tomorrow (but I have it already and will start to play it tonight :P).

Why everybody here should play TrackMania DS ?
Because it's a bug pleasure, like Stunts. Collision bugs, loopcut, ... All the "essence" of Stunts madness that is not in PC versions of TrackMania are in the DS version.
You know what, I'm happy with my TM DS game, really happy ! Too bad only 3 environments (out of 7 for TM United/TM United Forever) are implemented and that wi-fi racing is not implemented. That's the only part that Mario Kart has and that has not be improved by TM DS. You can play with friend at TM DS, but only on "local" connection between 2 to 4 DS, but not worldwide wi-fi like like Mario Kart.
Apart from that, this game is by far the best racing game on the DS.

Something that Krys may find interesting: Trackmania Nations Forever runs virtually perfectly on Linux under Wine 1.1.9 with only a few simple tweaks. For anyone interested, the tweaks are explained here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14851&iTestingId=35105 . Screenshot evidence is attached below...
This means I'll resume playing TMNF often... :) ;)

And what do you think about this...?  :)

I already saw it, there's a news about it on official website since a few days now. ;)
I'm proud to say I was one of the very few that tested the very 1st beta demo of the very 1st TrackMania game. Many things changed in this game since then, but the "spirit" remained, which is the main thing.
Anyway, I currently wait for the children to all be asleep before installing their present. Merry Krys-mas ;D to all of you. ;)

That's the advantage of stunts, you easily rank under 200.000...

Can we somehow make those 200,000 people come over and join Zakstunts? "The graphics are worse, but honestly it's a better game with better gameplay. The nostalgic atmosphere is enchanting"
But we can't be quite sure.

I'd be happy with every 1000th pipsqueak coming over. :)

Thn I'll be happy with all those others, otherwise it would be unfair to them.

Those of us who own TM United (so that they can display custom skins to other players) should make up a paintjob advertising ZakStunts  :D
