- How to install mods?
- automatic install - visit my manialink ddstylemods and download the mod (TM United only)
- manual install - download the mod from this page and copy the zip-file to this location:
My Documents\Trackmania\Skins\Stadium\Mod
(if any folder is missing, you have to create it yourself) - Don't extract the zip-file!
- If the mod doesn't show up, restart TM
- How to change the mod of an existing track?
- You have to start the editor, browse for your specific track and select it (click it once) while pressing the "ctrl"-key.
You can release the ctrl-key now and click "Edit". Now you can set the decoration (sunrise, day, sunset, night) and choose the skin (mod) you want the track to have. If you want the change to be permanent, you have to validate and save the track.
Just in case the track author did set a password for the track, you have to enter the correct password.
- You have to start the editor, browse for your specific track and select it (click it once) while pressing the "ctrl"-key.
- If you used a skin (mod) on your track and want other people "see" that mod, too, you have to put the MOD.zip-file online and use a locator.
You might ask: what is a locator? Well, thatīs easy to explain:
The locator is a text file containing the URL to your skin (mod), so the MOD.zip-file has to be available via direct download on the internet.
In this example the MOD is called stadium2010, the name of the zip-file is stadium2010.zip, the locator-file is named stadium2010.zip.loc
For example the locator-file contains: http://www.example.com/d/ddstyle/mods/stadium2010.zip
If you downloaded some mods from a manialink, it's possible, that you already got some working locator-files. Just take a look into your Stadium\Mod-folder.
Another way maybe to choose a skin (mod) from an URL. You have to upload the MOD before and enter the specific URL while creating or changing your track. See video above.
