Hmm, I wonder if you can choose the mod from the new MP4 menus.. does anyone know, or is that a missing feature?

There is no mod-menu in the new menu scripts, but I think it's only hidden. I remember dommy showed a screen with the mod menu in the new style somewhere on discord, so maybe he knows it better ^^

Oh hello! :D

After you copied mod *.zip file to your ManiaPlanet\Skins\<environment>\Mod folder, it will be available for selection as a texture pack for your map. New menus however don't give an optinon to choose mod file while creating a new map yet, so you need to use a little trick to get it on your map.

First, have your map saved on disk. Now, while browsing your maps list in map editor menu, select your map and hold Left Control while clicking on Edit button. A few dialogs will appear, asking you to select mod, vehicle (if there is any custom one) and mood.

Hope it helps. :thumbsup:

Mods don't come with maps bundled within them, however you may "include" a mod in the map through locators. There should be some maps with mods available on Mania Exchange, if that's what you're looking for.
