Is it possible to make a portable version of maniaplanet (on pendrive for example). Can someone help me doing it? I'd be very grateful.

I doubt it is possible, because of the register keys ManiaPlanet needs to run (properly).
Only way is to install ManiaPlanet everywhere ^^ (and download the titles you are allowed to have when you login with your account)

One player was successful using a external drive for all the game data at the same locatoon, but he had to install it on all his PCs.

ManiaPlanet is portable. You just need to copy the 3 folders and adapt the Nadeo.ini file. That's all.

Thanks for responses. I managed to make it work but I'd like to know if there is a possiblity to make a pendrive directory more "static". Because every time I want to play it on a different computer I need to change the directory in the ini file to match that one on the another PC. It's not a big problem but I want to make it more convenient

Install it on all PC, and then change the folders to match the pendrive using the help menu of the Launcher

Great idea! Why haven't I thought about it earlier?

why are you joking? it is serious, but if you don't want real help, your problem.

I think you missed my point. I wanted to play from pendrive because I don't want to instal it, for example when I want to play it on my friend's PC or anywhere else. If I had it installed on all the computers why would I need it on pendrive?
But thanks for trying to help.

Well, with this response earlier

I thought you already had installed it on all your PCs where you want to play it,
and only take the profile with skins and maps along.

I guess you only have to make sure the pendrive always has the same drive letter everywhere, then you won't need to modify the ini then.
Or you use a batch or AutoIt script to modify the ini according to the actually selected drive.
What about this?
