although the disabling of .loc content was just to make sure mods don't load and therefor temp overwrite your cheatmod (which is an option in maniaplanet launcher)
Although maniaplanet isn't really rocksolid..
simple example:
tmunlimiter adds a few dll files to the maniaplanet directory and adds the functionality of editing in your machine's cache instead of through the editor's restrictions.
If you build a simple modification which refers to your mod on a location outside of the gamefolder, maniaplanet doesn't have the power of altering those files.
So if you simply write a small program that can launch the maniaplanet without launching the maniaplanet.exe and run the shootmania client in your cache, you can easily manipulate the mod as well.
(for instance, you can go online using tmunlimiter client)
