Documentation

Everything you need to run and use this server, without leaving the repo.

• commands.md — in-game chat commands (player and admin).
• configuration.md — environment variables, owners and admin levels, maps, and updating.
• features.md — what each bundled app/plugin does, and which apps auto-unload on Trackmania 2020.

First steps after the server is up

1. Join it. Find it in the in-game server browser under your TM_SERVER_NAME, or use the join link the dedicated prints in its logs.
2. Become admin. Put your login in PYPLANET_OWNERS (see configuration), or paste the one-time /claim <code> token from the controller logs into chat.
3. Open the toolbar. Type //toolbar for the admin button bar, or //settings for the settings window.
4. Add maps. //add mx <id> pulls a map from ManiaExchange by its id.
5. Queue maps. Players open /list and click a map to jukebox it.
