Switch between different mods

[Vainer73]

Hi,

I've seen beautiful mods for Canyon environment on Maniapark (like Mass Effect, White Rock etc.),
but many of them comes without a track ready to play

I'd like to play some tracks (even Nadeo ones) with these mods, without having to create new tracks
every time using the editor...is it possible?

I tried also on Mania Exchange but it's difficult to find them without a "search by mod" filter


Sorry for my english

No.
Caveat: It may be possible, but no one knows how yet As the file-structure has been radically changed from previous TMs. Most of the data is secreted away in .pak files, making the majority of the game's content inaccessible to modders, which is quite a shame. Anyway, keep posted on the latest news and modding headlines to see if this is changed soon

I'm hoping this locked-packing isn't Ubi meddling...<_<

This is indeed a shame, that we cannot install White Rock and other graphical mods and see them on any track in any server at all times. TM1 was not like this, so why did Nadeo change it?

I'm hoping someone will find a way around this soon, because as I said to CoastKid in the White Rock thread, I'd LOVE to see White Rocks' graphics in all tracks online whether the server supports it or not. As of now, only 1 or 2 servers have White Rock installed to play online. Pretty silly of Nadeo to do this IMHO.

isamu, you alread complained about that in this thread.
Please don't spam the same information everywhere.

I always thought that, if you installed a mod in 'My Documents\ManiaPlanet\Skins\Canyon\Mod\', you could press CTRL when loading a map in the editor, and you would be able to first choose decoration and then mod.

Maybe this changed in the final release?

For the Nadeo tracks, don't know where they are... Maybe pak'ed away...
