1. First I rename my Documents\ManiaPlanet\Maps folder to _Maps.
2. Then I create a new folder Maps in Documents\ManiaPlanet.
3. I copy one of my Maps from _Maps\My Maps to the new folder Maps.
4. I copy all the maps that have no shadows (TM1 tracks) or need updated shadows (Lightmap version 5 maps) to the folder Maps.
5. I launch a self created shortcut to Maniaplanet.exe using this command line:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\ManiaPlanet\ManiaPlanet.exe" /computeallshadows /useronly /fullcheck /collections=Stadium /LmQuality=Default

6. I login to ManiaPlanet.
7. I update the first Title Pack that needs to be updated.
8. After this I close ManiaPlanet.
9. I repeat steps 5 to 8 until all Title Packs are up to date.
10. ManiaPlanet calculates/updates the shadows of all maps that needs new shadows.
11. After this ManiaPlanet closes automatically, IIRC.
12. I copy the updated maps to my old folder _Maps.
13. Than I remove the folder Maps and all automatically created subfolders.
14. Finally I renamed my folder _Maps back to Maps.
