TPS Gaseco 2.0
What is TPS Gaseco?
TPS Gaseco is a TM RPG system with a whole set of new and different features to any other system on TM. It is now available to everyone who plays Trackmania. Most of the ideas come from players, but then transformed into the system code by Gekko. A big thankyou also goes to all the people who have worked on this project over the years.
We decided to use much more TM internal graphics to avoid boring downloading time of the system, so we lowered TPS down from 1Gb to 200Mb.
Why TPS Gaseco?
The ultimate objective is to transform TM (which is already a great game) into a MMORPG, where players don't wnat to run for LP (ladder points), but want to have fun playing and building a respected account over time.
Each account will be the same on every server that has this script running on it, so you can play whenever and wherever you want.
Cheating is basically impossible (although nothing is impossible), but is very hard, seeing as the main Rank is not only based on records. In this way any cheater will be instantly located and deleted forever.
Also, we don't use the 'donations' style to collect planets, that's very much the old way to collect Planets. The best way is give something fun back that can be used. So if you think that TPS is here to get your Planets, you are wrong. TPS gives more Planets away than any other server. This seems to be the only way to get Planets circulating acround.
Who can help with TPS Gaseco?
We are always open to any suggestion or idea you have. Remember: if you have an idea, don't think its stupid or keep it to yourself, we can code it and develop it into a great feature, so start suggesting!

SuperAdmin need to be both in SuperAdmin list and Admin list.
Small Admins need only to be in Admin list.
To start using "Converter" you need to send via Trackmania mail at least 100 Planets to your server login, for the Nadeo % on transaction.
Please note:
On Linux you can use the example .sh file to get the TPS reload if it crashes (basically impossible if there are no bugs). You can modify it if you need to.
Remember to change to CHMOD 0775 on Linux after you upload the files.
On windows you need to create a .bat file, but I havn't used windows for a long time and i can't remember how to do batch files. If someone wants help us i will include it in the project next time.
