Hi @ll,
so we have a MP3 frozen install, would it be possible to get a MP4.0 frozen one, too?
I made the mistake and does not keep a MP4.0 installation. So its hard to me, to compare the behavior of a few things!
Then my second question is, does anyone have Titlepacks from MP3 and is willing to share this Titles?
Greetings

Re: Maniaplanet 3 "frozen install"
Hello, Everyone
I have heard that ManiaPlanet 3 is not working correctly anymore
i have changed the exe so it does ignore the missed host
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... Planet.exe
{The Link is dead and will be replaced in a few minutes}
for the other players that are laughing about a specific word, this is exactly the reason why i am working with this stuff
With friendly greetings MTKD, have fun

Re: Maniaplanet 3 "frozen install"
I have verified this particular link as being safe. The quick rundown as I understand from mtkd:
* Masterserver is passing a stations.maniaplanet.com link in an <mls> tag. This subdomain is dead, so the game refuses to load.
* Patching the game to read something else than "mls" as a tag causes it to ignore the stations link.
* Ignoring a dead link = it works properly.
* MTKD patched the exe to change the string "mls" to "ml5", causing it not to find the tag and ignore the link. Success!
Nice one mtkd, thanks!

Re: Maniaplanet 3 "frozen install"
Can this work if you want to do a portable install?
Re: Maniaplanet 3 "frozen install"
I don't think so.
Maniaplanet needs to be installed properly.
There are some registry entries like to open donwloaded maps or replays, firewall settings, places where setup, game and custom files are located.
All this would need to be relative to a random drive letter of a USB stick or external hard drive.
Perhaps it might work with a newer version of Maniaplanet in future, but probably not yet.

Re: Maniaplanet 3 "frozen install"
Actually, the paths are already in Nadeo.ini:
So by definition, this zip file is a "portable" version of ManiaPlanet 3.

Re: Maniaplanet 3 "frozen install"
Only those two settings alone doesn't make it portable.
Re: Maniaplanet 3 "frozen install"
Sure, you won't have the registry entries to open .gbx files etc, but that's kind of expected with portable software. The user data folder is standalone, so all the settings and whatnot are stored in the folder of the game. Putting this on a USB stick *should* be possible, as long as all the dependencies are met already, of course. (MSVC runtime etc.)
