Is there any documentation of those scripts? What is the base language used?
The examples look interesting, but I'd like to get a documentation as well.

We wait a documentation for the moment. You have an example of the solitaire (file://Media/Manialinks/Solitaire/index.xml) and the file is in Program Data/ManiaPlanet/PacksCache/Maniaplanet_Extras.zip

LOLOL playing solitaire in a race track is possible :D.
Awesome :P. (Drive back for solitaire will be in my next track for sure :pil )

Will it be possible (or is it possible) to include the manialink (+ scripts etc.) inside the GBX file? Or do you need an external host for it?

External but you can add a clip "manialink" in MT with the link of the manialink/maniascript.

[bump]

Isn't there a list of methods or something like that? Without explanation, just a list with possible arguments.

What are the possibilities of Maniascript? Can it log key presses? Can it modify the map on the fly? The latter would be a killer feature, really 8-)

There is a function to place blocks/terrain etc, so it might be possible if they don't block that method in-game. It works for plugins tho.

+1 for docs / a class and methods list

Is there any more sample code out there?

It looks like a bunch of C++ exports to me, not like a "real" scripting api though..
