ManiaPlanet server documentation

[Phoenix0072009]

Any change the Documentation will be updated ???

I've got a server running after much pain and many tips from other fora because the documentation is very unclear about most.
It explains about 1%, the rest you have to know yourself ...

AND it will ONLY play the default Nadeo tracks, NOT the ones I made !

It's also not explained how to load your one tracks into that server.

You're right, this could use some improvement. Here's the getting started guide which only briefly mentions how to get a default MatchSettings file, but not how to actually add maps to it. :/

Also, the Github link in the top right ("Edit this page") is broken. Perhaps Cerovan can help out a bit here? I wouldn't mind contributing to the documentation.

Indeed the link is broken (I'll fix it), but the documentation is still on github : https://github.com/maniaplanet/documentation

Feel free to do pull requests

[Miss]

Thanks for the proper link! Will take a look at improving it when I have some time

Is a "dedicated server" the same as an "internet server" ? If not what is the difference?

[Miss]

The dedicated server is software used to host a game server for people on the internet to play on.

Hi,

We just started a little guide with basic informations about the server.

http://doc.maniaplanet.com/

Check it here : http://maniaplanet.github.io/documentat ... ed-server/

Frequent errors : http://doc.maniaplanet.com/dedicated-se ... rrors.html

Command line options also available : https://github.com/maniaplanet/document ... nd-line.md

Its really bad when I come in here to restart a server and the 2 of the 4 links are broken, like really, comon..

[Miss]

To be honest this is a thread from 2013. I've updated the OP to fix the links now.
