Trackmania Nations Forever

JasonF · April 21, 2008

The client portion of TM Nations Forever has moved to a free download on both STEAM and on file sharing sites.

clientside download - http://files.filefront.com/TrackMania+Nations+Forever+Free+Full+Game/;10013754;/fileinfo.html

Server Setup

1) Download the server files

http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TrackmaniaServer_2008-08-05.zip

2) You must have the game, start it up and create an account. When you create the account it will give you a user key.

When you create your server, open the server config and look for this section

<masterserver_account>

<validation_key></validation_key>

</masterserver_account>

Here you will enter the user and pass you created along with your user key.

3) The default command line starts the game settings for NationsWhite.txt. The game settings file should be kept in the GameData\Tracks\MatchSettings\Nations\ folder. I added a custom command line parameter that will allow your clients to upload a custom settings file to this folder and they can specify it in the command line changer section.

4) Use the attached TCAdmin config

I have use i done all of it already, but my servers have one problem. They are lagging and saying: "Invalid Time: the run of 'player x' have been ignored".

I host others servers like cs, css, tmn, and they don't have this kind of lag. Someone knows what's my problem?

CPU are at 30%.

Hello,

The server files link is broken. Please update. I'm needing it. Do I only need that files into the Game Installs folder?

Greats,

Hi, i can't run TMN server with this cfg.

I run it manually. I got these errors: no config file, no servername, no mathcsettings and invalid login. I don't know how to run this server.

2) You must have the game, start it up and create an account. When you create the account it will give you a user key.

When you create your server, open the server config and look for this section

<masterserver_account>
<login></login>
<password></password>
<validation_key></validation_key>
</masterserver_account>

Here you will enter the user and pass you created along with your user key.

Add to that looking at the errors, it looks like you don't even have a game config file in the directory.

Tcadmin config is not a game config, it is for allowing tcadmin to work with the game.

You need to know how to run a game, before working on running it with TcAdmin.

Thanks for reply me. Now i'm trying to run this server with TCA but i don't know how can i see if server is running. I've trackmaniaserver.exe in taskmanager but i can't see it in game. What about game-compatibility?

JasonF · June 22, 2008

In those cases you have to join the game to find out.

Kian · June 22, 2008

Yes, the problem is that i can't find it. In taskmanager is running Trackmaniaserver.exe with 7800K memory. Is it normal? This is my cfg

D3vil your server isnt being able to load the config file or anything in your comand line, make sure you have this added

/internet /dedicated_cfg=dedicated_cfg.txt /game_settings=C:\UserFiles\*User*\GameServers\Tc***********\GameData\Tracks\MatchSettings\Nations\NationsRed.txt

You dont have the comand line set correctly, read the read me docs that come with the track mania server

cyberbobpt · November 13, 2009

Hello GS now the server is running, i just need to find how to put fast with tcadmin, tanks a lot for your help.

GS-Liam · November 13, 2009

you would just need to set up a new game or a addon game, little trickyer for auto setup

cyberbobpt · November 13, 2009

you would just need to set up a new game or a addon game, little trickyer for auto setup

Sorry Gs like i have say i am very noob on tcadmin and i dont uderstand what you have said, tanks.

GS-Liam · November 13, 2009

Sorry Gs like i have say i am very noob on tcadmin and i dont uderstand what you have said, tanks.

You shouldn’t try be a GSP if that’s what your trying to do if you know nothing about the games/servers or tcadmin, Especially not track mania, if you plan on hosting track mania you need to familiarise yourself with all the add-ons ect, track mania isn’t a easy game to host if you plan on hosting it correctly as you will get people ask for a bit more support than the normal games like cod4 ect, as there’s alot more to change and its harder to do, eg the racing tracks, configuring addons, setting up admins ect,

Add me on msn if you need more support i can help you more on there:cool

cyberbobpt · November 13, 2009

Ok Liam i will add you on msn, tanks for your help.

tarnecki · August 17, 2010

just quick one, imported game to tca and not showing on main list in creation menu .... did same with rfactor and its there, did i miss something?

GS-Liam · August 17, 2010

Cheers

tarnecki · August 23, 2010

sorry for delay with answer appriciate anyway, yes i did they in tmn folder same folder is added to tcadmin as main
