In 2019, donadigo re-discovered that Trackmania’s Replay files have all inputs stored in them and that they can be replayed again and analysed in-game. This means that the exact same inputs will always yield the exact same results (e.g. Trackmania’s physics engine is completely deterministic. In this document we will present our findings after investigating all official world records in Trackmania Nations Forever and Trackmania United Forever. These tools allow us to get a better understanding of how Trackmania records were achieved, and whether they were played legitimately or not.
Since players submit Replay files, and not live recordings, how can you tell whether a record was played by human hands or an input script?īecause of this concern, we developed several advanced Replay analysing tools. But in recent years, with the rise of tool-assisted speedruns, there’s been a growing concern among players that it could be possible to cheat in these conditions. The record system has been this way since the inception of the website in 2003. No live video evidence is required when submitting a record. The game automatically generates a Replay file upon completing a track, which can then be easily shared and uploaded to Trackmania Exchange. In order to compete on Trackmania Exchange leaderboards, players have to submit a Replay file of their record. This website maintains a “Top 10” leaderboard for all official tracks released by Nadeo and for hundreds of thousands of user submitted tracks, and is the main leaderboard Trackmania players compete on. Players compete against each other for the fastest times on tracks, and in order to keep records centralized, the community developed a website called Trackmania Exchange. Trackmania United Forever is a racing game in which the goal is to complete any track as fast as possible. Other replays from Nations leaderboards.Ensuring correctness of presented footage.
