I sorted over 18000 files from this exchange, for TM2020, by doing a little bit each day. I can find almost any item quickly (meaning, if it is placed in the world without a name, I can find it or an equivalent duplicate in my list). Items, Blocks, and Macroblocks are seperate zip files.

Editor tips for handling so many items:

  • Almost all folders are limited to 14 subfolders+files, to avoid the annoying 1/2 and 2/2, etc.
  • Right click on a folder to view only it and it's subfolders. I.e. if you are placing a collection of dirthill items you don't want to clutter the UI with other items.
  • Use tab to toggle on and off the folders, and move the mouse toward the top of the screen when toggling it back on to.
  • Both read the folder's title and see the icon, they both are helpful in figuring out what is going on.
  • Be aware of what each material is called, i.e. "tech" vs "deco" vs "bump", etc.
  • Know the difference between "track" "track terrain" and "terrain".
  • The group "special" has quite a few subcategories, including waypoints, no-collide props, turbos, and more. However, waypoints and turbos with attached track are usually in the folder for the track, not the "specials" folder.
  • Transitions can be in either folder. For example, ice to tech can be in either the ice or tech folder, usually in a "transition" subfolder. Transitions from custom tracks to default tracks should be in the custom track folder. For example, dirtHill to tech will be in "dirtHill" not tech.

Tm2020 USED to hog RAM, spiking to about 40 GB with all these items. However, the new version seems to stay under 2GB when opening the editor with a fresh map and loading times are very, very short! There is only a slight delay when opening block subfolders (items are still basically instant).

Beware the brick-wall The loading times on game startup are a bit longer due to all the items (even if you don't open the editor), but memory usage stays low throught this waiting period. However, about two thousand items more and the game does not load at all. I am not sure if this wall depends on computer resources or is due to a number overflowing in the game and freezing it.

Link to the items, it's just shy of 1GB: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xEh2wtiSaEvccmtCQnrFotIYLFXNQTd8/view?usp=sharing > Link to the blocks, it's around 270MB (EDIT: fixed permissions in link): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b5cwz0vAINKAYCLmC1-YPQHsG6nAiaW5/view?usp=sharing

Link to the macroblocks, it's a tiny file well below one MB: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1osU43zZ1TABFndqmTRB01YOuK6AlA1Mc/view?usp=sharing

It's amazing how many files you worked through in order to create TM2020 and that is exactly what you did. You have also created a great way to quickly find objects in the TM 2020 editor. Your suggestions are great, especially using the right-click function and being aware of materials and folder names. It is great that TM2020 now works faster, and is also much quicker to load. Thanks also for including links to the corresponding items, blocks, and macroblocks!

[ON ORDER] complete set of fast type blue magnetic streets.  

hello speedsters... how are you??? I'm here to make a very special request!!! I hope someone understands what I'm asking...

i think the game itself needs magnetic blocks (understand) today on this site, there is the set of magnetic blocks... they are the set of magnetic blocks, but they are platform!!! I wish there was a set of magnetic street pieces, more it has to be the complete set of streets, all the streets that exist, a complete set of blue magnetic streets, fast type magnetic streets...

WHY: the game needs racing upside down, wall racing and also underwater racing.

there are a set of magnetic streets, more are a set of black magnetic streets, and black colors is not ideal, confuses with plain asphalt and black asphalt.

I would really like a complete set of magnetic streets, to make these races that don't exist???

roof races, car running glued to the ceiling... wall racing, car running stuck to the wall... underwater racing...

the use of reactors does not have the ideal traction for racing? roof races, car running glued to the ceiling... wall racing, car running stuck to the wall... underwater racing...

the set of street type magnetic blocks were never made all the pieces completely... I would do it myself if I knew how to do it, but I don't know, this is my request, hope someone understands!!! hugssss

Canyon Powerlines  

Looking for Valley like powerlines/tower for Canyon :)

How do I get shared block sets through different environments?  

Hello members of item.exange,

I'm making some maps and was wondering if it's possible to make custom block sets available through different environments. I've already downloaded some custom block sets for the stadium environment, but I also want to use these in canyon, lagoon, valley and storm. Is there any way to convert these sets? Thanks in advance.

 

Hi :D This website is for item sharing. If you want to share your tracks from Trackmania (2020), you can visit TrackMania Exchange to upload your map there.
