I'm having a bit of trouble making my first
manialink
I can't understand a thing, is <file> the location where the file from the url will be installed? I took this code from the wiki.
Code: Select all
<install_skin>
<name>Name of the skin</name>
<file>Skins/Vehicles/CommonCar/Name of the skin.zip</file>
<url>direct url of the skin</url>
</install_skin>
Do I have to put this mania code in a new xml file and link it from the main xml or there is a way to put it all in one file?
Also how can users download the locator along with the skin?

Code: Select all
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<maniacode>
<show_message>
<message>You are about to install a Skin!</message>
</show_message>
<install_skin>
<name>TheDesiredNameOfTheSkinInTheMenu</name>
<file>Skins/Vehicles/ArenaPlayer/FileNameOfTheSkin.zip</file>
<url>http://yourdomain.com/UrlOfTheSkin.zip</url>
</install_skin>
</maniacode>
That's how a real complete XML Maniacode file can look like.
I've never tried mixing Manialink and Maniacode (which is usually a seperately registered manialink for payment) but you might give it a try.
And: When downloading a skin, the locator will be created automatically on the user's PC.

Now i have another problem I recieve an error when I click on the link "acces denied".
I've read on the forum that you have to register a maniacode.xml to make it work. So for every download I need to pay 100 planets???

Removing the cost from the gbxs would remove the merchant and maker feeling that I have now when someone buys one of my creation

if the costs are only set on the gbx then you don't have to pay for the download, just for using it

So why it says "acces denied"? Sorry but the whole thing is kinda confusing :/
