cd ~
wget http://files.v04.maniaplanet.com/server/TrackmaniaServer_Latest.zip
Unzip the file at a directory of your choice, note that the zip has no subfolder for dedicated.
mkdir tmserver
cd tmserver
unzip ../TrackmaniaServer_Latest.zip
Run it once
chmod 777 TrackmaniaServer
./TrackmaniaServer
It fails to start and this is totally normal.
This is to create some directorys for you.
Server Login and click send button.Next find /UserData/Config/dedicated_cfg.default.txt and create a copy of it called dedicated_cfg.txt
cd /UserData/Config/
cp dedicated_cfg.default.txt dedicated_cfg.txt
then we need to edit the file to add dedicated account.
nano dedicated_cfg.txt
fill in your dedicated server account details, here’s an example how it should look
<masterserver_account>
<login>serverlogin</login>
<password><![CDATA[foobar]]></password>
</masterserver_account>
serverlogin with your serverlogin from trackmania.comfoobar with your password from trackmania.com
Then save and exit the editor.
cd ~/tmserver
./TrackmaniaServer /dedicated_cfg=dedicated_cfg.txt /game_settings=MatchSettings/example.txt
