1. Creating a MatchSettings File

In TrackMania, MatchSettings files are essential to define maps and settings for an online or local server. Follow these steps to create your MatchSettings file:

Step 1: Open TrackMania and Begin Creating MatchSettings

Launch TrackMania: Start the game and go to Play Online.
Create a Match: Select Create at the bottom of the screen.
Click Launch: Start the server setup.
Access Your Tracks: Choose My Tracks to view all available maps.
Reload Maps: Click the reload icon (on the left) to refresh your map list.
Select Maps: Use the multi-selection option to add multiple maps at once.
Save Your MatchSettings: After selecting maps, click Save Settings. Your file will be saved in Documents\TrackMania\Tracks\MatchSettings.

Step 2: Locate the Saved MatchSettings File

Find your saved MatchSettings file in the directory Documents\TrackMania\Tracks\MatchSettings. The file will be an XML file containing your settings.

Step 3: Add Maps Manually

If you want to add more maps manually, download them from TrackMania Exchange (TMX) or use your own. Place all maps in: Documents\TrackMania\Tracks\Challenges.

Step 4: Upload MatchSettings and Maps to Your Server

Upload MatchSettings: Transfer the MatchSettings file to the server's folder: TrackMania\Tracks\MatchSettings.
Upload Maps: Ensure maps are uploaded to the same directory path as your local machine.

2. Locating and Extending an Existing MatchSettings File

If you run a TrackMania server, locate the existing MatchSettings file in the tmserver directory.

Step 1: Locate the MatchSettings File

Open the start.sh file in the server's folder (usually in tmserver) to find the path to the MatchSettings file:

/home/container/tmserver/GameData/Tracks/MatchSettings

Step 2: Extend the MatchSettings

To extend the MatchSettings file, add new maps by inserting new <challenge> elements. Make sure the paths to the map files are correct.

Example of an Existing MatchSettings File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<playlist>
    <gameinfos>
        <game_mode>1</game_mode>
        <chat_time>10000</chat_time>
        <finishtimeout>1</finishtimeout>
        <rounds_pointslimit>50</rounds_pointslimit>
    </gameinfos>

    <filter>
        <is_lan>1</is_lan>
        <is_internet>1</is_internet>
    </filter>

    <challenge>
        <file>Challenges/My Challenges/fs quovadis/Shark in the water.Gbx</file>
        <ident>k2cw1_XQZeu0KM7waUtmqTMdAd7</ident>
    </challenge>
</playlist>

Steps to Extend an Existing MatchSettings File:

Open the existing MatchSettings XML file.
Scroll to the bottom of the <playlist> section.
Add new <challenge> elements with the new map file paths.
Ensure paths match the server's directory structure.
Save the file and restart the server.

Example of an Extended MatchSettings File:

<playlist>
    <challenge>
        <file>Challenges/My Challenges/fs quovadis/Invaders.Gbx</file>
        <ident>i6jngndDPPEp92L1CSUDuIFY1l6</ident>
    </challenge>
    <challenge>
        <file>Challenges/My Challenges/fs quovadis/Shark in the water.Gbx</file>
        <ident>k2cw1_XQZeu0KM7waUtmqTMdAd7</ident>
    </challenge>
</playlist>
