Sure.

What I want to do is create a "server" ingame, without using the dedi server files thus creating a listen server.

When I goto create, I cannot see any maps to select.

Do I need to import my own or is this feature nor apart of the beta?

Thank you.

I move your topic into Dedicated Server forum ! All the expert of server will answer you better than me ;)

You need to download some maps and put all in Documents/ManiaPlanet/Maps. You can download some tracks here : http://tm.mania-exchange.com

Which ports do I need to open on my router, is there an FAQ with this information?

Thanks.

Try maniacreative under tutorial section. The ports for tmnf/tmuf should be the same for tm2. I can't say for certan, but i don't see a reason to change the ports when they've worked fine all of these years.

Maybe because it's a new game? Port numbers are quite arbitrary, as long as it's above the 1024 mark.

You can change the ports using the launcher: configure -> advanced -> network.

The default ports for the dedicated and in-game server haven't changed.

I'm also wondering what ports need to be opened to create a server (non-dedicated) in the beta.

I'm trying to host a server for me and my friend to play my custom tracks. I've opened ports 2350, 3450, 5000, and 8002. I've also tried a combo of different ones open/closed of those. When my friend attempts to join the server it eventually 'fails to connect'.

I know it's a port issue however as I will DMZ my computer on the router - and he's able to join right away. I'd prefer not to have to DMZ myself each time we play, so perhaps someone can tell me what the correct Port(s) I need to open are?

Thanks!
