FranceI have been on holidays for 3 weeks, I'll verify all pending runs this week.
You don't need to measure the time between the tracks, you only need to add your finish times on all the tracks to get your ingame time
Request : add https://speedrun.com/tmce as Category Extension to https://speedrun.com/tm
Thanks

Hey,
I've seen you've added a new Misc category called "45 Classics" and I believe it's related to the ongoing speedrun event called the Ultime Decathlon where Action Henk is one of the ten games to speedrun and where the category used is called "45 First Classics".
However there is a minor discrepancy between the rules on speedrun.com and the Ultime Decathlon website. For the Ultime Decathlon, the timer starts when the first map "Hello World" is selected in the menu and not when the player presses "Play" in the menu.
There's also a typo in the rules : instead of "in the 7 story batches of the game", you should write "in the 9 story batches of the game".
On another note, I really hope the Ultime Decathlon will help the growth of the Action Henk speedrun community. I discovered the game thanks to the Ultime Decathlon and I am already a Henk addict !
Hi, I'm a super moderator for all Trackmania games along with DarkLink.
We'd like to remove the super moderator role from Valux on the following games : TrackMania Turbo, TrackMania² Stadium, TrackMania² Canyon, TrackMania² Valley, TrackMania Nations Forever, TrackMania United Forever, TrackMania United and TrackMania Nations ESWC. He hasn't been online for 4 months and he hasn't verified a speedrun in years. We'd also like to remove the super moderator role from DivisionX on TrackMania Nations ESWC. He hasn't been online for 9 months and he also hasn't verified a speedrun in years.
Thanks for sorting this out :D
Thanks @Liv for adding me as a supermod on the other Trackmania games :D
Hi, I will see if the autosplitter is still working on my side. If not, I'll ask the developer of the autosplitter to update his program in the coming days. You can still compete in IGT and RTA on other Trackmania games while waiting for the autosplitter to be updated. I'll post a thread here when everything will be corrected.
Of course it's allowed! Good luck ? ?
I added this, thanks for the suggestion. When you submit a run, in the "Solo Duo" menu, choose Solo if you played alone and Duo if you played with someone else in the Double Driver mode.
Welcome to the Trackmania speedrunning scene! We hope you'll push your limits and enjoy your stay here! PS: This message is the 1000th view of the thread :D
Yo stoned drivers, it’s your moderator RastaBobby.
4 months ago we switched to Real Time without Loads as the default timing method on all Trackmania² games thanks to an autosplitter and load remover created by my friend Nekz; But some bugs were found during All Flags speedruns while we were using the old autosplitter. In addition, due to a recent Maniaplanet 4 update, the autosplitter v1 stopped working.
Nekz and I have worked hard during the past weeks to create a bugless second autosplitter and load remover. This autosplitter v2 brings 4 major updates to the old one:
The way of functioning of the autosplitter has been completely revamped: in the autosplitter v1, we had to list the checkpoints count of each track. By reading the game code, the autosplitter would split on the last checkpoint of the map (the finish line). We had some splitting issues with this method. The new method we introduce in the autosplitter v2 is slightly different: Nekz found a value in the game code that indicates if a track is not played (value=0), is played (value=1) or is finished (value=2). The autosplitter automatically detects the change between the value 1 and the value 2 to split exactly when the track is finished (when you cross the finish line). This new method should kill splitting bugs. If you encounter any splitting bugs, please report them to me on Discord (RastaBobby#2025).
The autosplitter now works not only on Nadeo official solo campaigns but also on usermade solo campaigns thanks to the following option in the autosplitter settings interface in Livesplit: “Auto split detection for unofficial maps”. This way you could have fun speedrunning MrDVD’s solo campaigns or Spam’s upcoming solo campaign :D If some of these usermade solo campaigns encounter a lot of success, we might add these as official categories on speedrun.com.
We are proud to introduce splits landmarks: you can now choose on which tracks you'd like to split during the speedrun.. This feature allows you to split on every track for a short speedrun or every 2, 3, 5 or 15 tracks for example on a long speedrun like on All Flags speedrun.
The autosplitter continues to work properly after a game crash: all you’ll have to do is to exit the game (use Alt-F4 or Ctrl-Alt-Delete if needed), to restart it and to relaunch the last track you were playing before the crash happened.
The speedrunning rules for Trackmania² games have also been clarified. Nekz and I truly hope this new update will bring more players to speedrun Trackmania games and that it will lead to the creation of a Trackmania speedrun community.
Bye bye !
Yo stoned drivers, it's RastaBobby! Since months you've requested a new timing method which would be more fair to all players than the old Real Time with loads timing method, you wanted no difference between someone with the latest SSD gaming computer and someone with a basic computer.
We listened to your feedback and we introduced InGame Time as the default timing method on all Trackmania games a few months ago. Even tho this is the fairest timing method, it had a great flaw: calculating the InGame Time for a speedrun is such a painful experience. You can directly do it during your speedrun with a Manual Game Time component on Livesplit but your speedrun will take more time or you could do it after doing your speedrun by rewatching the VOD and calculating the total game time. All of this was done manually.
But, and there's a but, we haven't explored yet the 3rd timing method available on this website: I'm talking about Real Time without loads. This method can only be used with an autosplitter and a load remover on Livesplit, which is a little script which analyses the game code while you're speedrunning and which autosplits every time you finish a track. The load remover inside the same script pauses the timer while the game is loading the following track and it resumes the timer when the track is fully loaded.
And we finally have this divine instrument! NekZ did a hard work to create the 1st Livesplit-compatible autosplitter and load remover for all Trackmania² Games (Canyon, Stadium, Valley, Lagoon). This technology marvel, after you'll set it up to the category you'll be speedrunning, will autostart the timer once you have finished loading the 1st map of this category in the numerical order. It will autosplit each time you cross the finish line of a map and it will autostops on the finish line of the last map of the speedrunning category. On your Livesplit layout, you can now display 2 timers, the first one will be displaying Real Time WITH loads and the second one will be displaying Real Time WITHOUT loads thanks to this load remover. If you look in the resources and if you download the Trackmania splits file and my personal layout, you'll see your splits times with two times columns: the first column entitled "Time" will display the splits times in RTA without loads and the second column entitled "RTA" will display the splits times in RTA with loads.
This autosplitter & load remover revolution will take place on all the Trackmania games in the following days or weeks, the switch from IGT to RTA w/o loads has only be made on TM² Stadium yet, we need to be sure the autosplitter is working on all categories for the other games.
The tutorial on how to speedrun Trackmania games with this autosplitter and load remover is already available in English with French subtitles on my personal Youtube channel.
There is a bug when i'm trying to log in on the latest Chrome version 58.0.3029.110, when I fill the login and password boxes, the popup disappears after saying: "Welcome back, RastaBobby" as usual but when it disappears I'm still not logged to my account. I can log to my account on Microsoft Edge but not on Chrome. Does anyone else share this issue?
