Server just go down? Got DC'ed and the player count went from ~50 to 30 and I time out trying to connect. Still showing up in the browser though, and the player count seems to be fluctuating.

P.S. I can hit other servers fine, so I don't think it's just me.

it aint, just you that is.

made some slight changes to my car, and i'm pretty proud that it turned out right considering all the problems i'm having with the mediatracker.

Seeing many many grey cars out there sucks, and its because most peoples internet upload is pretty much shit. i was looking around at various tutorials for something completely different when i came across this page. It basically shows you how to create a file that trackmania interprets as a download link to the files that most people would just be uploading from their computer.

basically it makes your skin or custom item get downloaded very fast.

http://www.trackmania-carpark.com/faq.php its in that faq and many other places, but this tut explained it the best for me. i used dropbox.com but i'm sure there are other places you can use just as long as it is a direct download link.

i'm going to throw these into the track i'm making

taken in your server, lots of grey cars cause my internet is slow.

have to say server is a success, 56 players on it at one time and 40+ on it right now. just needs more new tracks.

cool, now i just need to find a spot for it on the mess that is my paint job

so planets actually do something now besides buy cars and skins?

that's how my car looks in the editor, was going for something crazy that said, i'm a crazy driver. in-game all the green looks like chrome with a very very slight green hue, it would have been too hard to redo the green parts because that's the original color so i just left it; looks green at night though.

also, painting the rims 2 different colors is damn near impossible, and if you want the front 1 color and the back another like in Sunrise, sorry but you cant, afaik.

not bad.
