I can send you my config scripts and stuff if you'd like.

Put them up here:
http://www.battlewiki.com/wiki/index.php/TrackMania
Just edit that page and put each config file in a <pre></pre> tag pair.

Steve also has that power. You can threaten to light a bag of poop and leave it on the Super's doorstep, but you don't ever want to actually go through with it.-

I just spent an hour installing and fucking with this shit. I can not get the controls to work. I mean I cant even get this shit to work in the menus.
Keyboard - X
Mouse - X
Gamepad - X
fuck this. This is why I'm going console >:(-
-
so I can waste another hour?
At the menu I can move the mouse icon but cant click on anything. If I hit the arrow on the kb it randomly selects one of the icons. If I'm lucky I can get the one I want within a dozen tries. >:(-

so this is the trackmania thread...
i just installed this (about 3 hours ago) and just stopped playing.
was on troz's server. some of the tracks are really really fun. some are good but awful for multiplayer. and a lot of the shacker maps just plain suck :\
i'm sorry but it's true. they rely on gimmicks and tricks that require intimate knowledge of the track.
and troz is great at designing fast, simple, and fun tracks. :D
very fun game, glad i gave it a shot-

you should have to unlock the editor to use it...
force you to play through all the maps and look at what kind of flow and speed makes a good map fun. and see that gimmicks like non stop looping and half mile long jumps are NOT fun when you actually want to finish the map in the time allotted-
the thing is that most people will never open the editor. the people who will open the editor will never make a map. the people who make a map will genereally not revise it just publish it once they've validated it. Most of the Shack map makers however are actually getting much better at making maps thanks to real feedback that generally doesn't happen with the majority of maps online. in fact, most of the highest rated maps i've found online suck worse than the worst shack offerings. it's all a matter of wanting to improve map style and get beyond "first map" syndrome which many people can get stuck in.
It's also necessary to get beyond your first map and realize that it will more than likely suck..a lot. but learn from it and move on. some people are way too attached to their own creations to be able to take what they've learned and move on to a second map 10 times better than the first until they really figure out how to make a map that they like and is fun but keeping their individual taste and style. The progress thus far has been quite good on the shack.

controller question i've been using the keyboard for trackmania and doing pretty good with it... but I think I can get some times lower if I use a controller. Any recommendations? I am particularly interested in using the xbox controller. I seem to remember people saying they were able to hook up their xbox (or xbox 360?) controller via usb or something like that.

this one? How does it hook up to the PC? via usb?
