Yes so when you open your "custom item" you go into mesh editor then you do a "CRTL+A" it will select ALL the parts of the bloc. Then you maintain CTRL and Click on the faces you want to keep. After that you just press "Suppr" and you will only have the parts you want ;)

Hello !

On latest update I added a tool for surface generation. The tool's purpose is to create a smooth surface based on its 4 connecting borders (later I'll add one for "rotation" but it's still WIP). Standard borders (Slope, Slope2, SlopeStart, SlopeEnd, etc.) have been added as a library that can be imported.

How to use:

• create a new mesh
• go to : side bar > Trackmania > Libraries
• click "Load standard curves"
• go to : side bar > Trackmania > Surface
• select "Connector" as surface type
• Fill east/west/north/south border with imported curves or some of your own (warning: the 4 borders must join correctly)
• click "Update" to update the mesh

Notes on standard borders naming:

• first number is slope at start (0 = flat, 1 = semi-slope/bislope, 2 = vanilla slope)
• second number is slope at end
• third number is how many blocs curve goes forward
• fourth number is how many blocs curve goes upward

What it does:

• generate surface (both top, bottom, and sides) and apply materials
• generate pivots
• controlable smoothness / item size
• generate UV layers (warning: it generates lightmap UVs assuming it's the only mesh in the scene)

TODO:

• generate surfaces by rotation of a border
• maybe allow for custom border shape to generate new road types ? but it seems a bit complex... especially for 3-way connectors and 1-block-wide turns.
• have bottom/side generation optional to limit item size

I'll later update How To on github but if you guys want to play with it I would be glad to have your feedback :)

Hey, does anyone have some info about the triggers in the mesh modeler?

My goal would be to change the effect of the trigger to reactor boost for example but I don't see any way to use these triggers. Can this maybe only be done in Blender?

Cheers

I figured it out. I have to make an Item form a selected block and not edit the block as it is. I can delete the green parts now. Still a bit finicky to be honest but it is what it is. If someone needs I can explain it here.

Although if there's a simpler solution don't hesitate to let me know :D

When I place custom platform items, the green lines of original Nadeo blocks remain visible. Is there a workaround for that? I have watched tutorials and tried to edit the original blocks but I can't even select those green lines to delete them manually. I can only manipulate the platform itself but that's basically the only thing I don't want to :D

Hey, I would love to make road platforms into dirt and grass platforms as you have in tm2020. Sadly, I dont know how mesh editor works so it would be great if someone made it for me :)

Good job :)

Hello !

I know there was already a blender addon for Maniaplanet but I just released my blender addon dedicated to TM2020 https://github.com/voblivion/trackmania_blender_addon

It interfaces with current NadeoImporter features including :

• Visible/invisible meshes
• Collidable/non-collidable meshes
• Waypoint triggers
• Wapoint spawn point (with visual for better placement)
• Lights
• Pivots (WIP)
• Materials
• Icon generation (optional)

It generates surfaces :

• connector surface between 4 curves
• top / bottom / side meshes
• many parameters to control
• pivots and UVs generation

It's still WIP, so let me know what feature you think I should add next :) (currently working on set of tools for generating smooth surfaces more easily)

ps: it is not impossible this addon works for blender 2.8 too; let me know :)

Ok I found the solution on the other website, tackmania exchange ^^' Here is the link if anyone wants it. https://trackmania.exchange/threads/201/tutorial-how-to-apply-a-texture-mod?page=-1

Hi! TM2020 is the first TM I play, so I am not used to what I can do with the editor. With the TMGL winter 2021, there is a mod for the roads and I don't know how to apply it. On OGL's Discord is written to put it in "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Trackmania2020\Skins\Stadium\Mod" but: 1)I don't have "Trackmania2020" but "Trackmania", maybe it is not revelant 2)The "Mod" file doesn't exist in "Stadium"

Maybe I install it right but I don't jnow how tu use it.

Thanks in advance
