TrackMania Creations FAQ

[muscleburn]

Hi Folks....im not sure if im gonna be postin this in the right place or not but u seen to discussing quite alot of things here....ok i have my own server which is running smoothly and i have my own tracks to put on it....now i have my own track mod but where does the locator file go on the server so that everybody can see my mod while playing.

I am using servermania with trackmaniaserver....does the .loc file go in the same place as if it were the game
ie/ GameData\Skins\Stadium\Mod or does it go in the same directory as the track file.

Thx in advance

There's a whole forum for that.

for anyone who installs active perl this is a quick script to create all of your .loc files:

my $URL = "http://www.bwtoons.com/music";

foreach $muxFile (<*>)
{
if (open(LOC, "> $muxFile.loc"))
{
print LOC "$URL/$muxFile";
close LOC;
}
else
{
die "$!\n";
}
}

place in a .pl file called "ml.pl" and run "perl ml.pl" to generate your .loc files.

put the .pl file in your ChallengeMusics directory, open a windows cmd shell [Start->run->] "cmd" navigate to your challengemusics directory and run "perl ml.pl"

note: make sure you change the URL to the correct url.
