How does it works

wp-SrvStats is integrated as a plug-in WordPress and shows in a sidebar widget the online / offline status of an unlimited number of servers. The servers can be easily setup via the admin interface. The type of display the state of the servers can be selected from three different options:

1. single display of an icon,
2. display a online/offline text only or
3. displaying the icon and text together.

Samples for the three options

How to install

1. To do a new installation of the plugin, please follow these steps
2. Download the wp-srvstatus.zip file to your local machine.
3. Unzip the file
4. Upload `wp-srvstatus` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
5. Change the amount of your desired servers in wp-srvstatus.php, line 29. The default value defines two servers.
6. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
7. Define the servers in the settings menu
8. Place widget in your sidebar.

That’s it.

The question is not at once easy to answer. It depends what you want.
If you only want to go a little bit and nothing else would go on, for the free game is the first choice. Because you can do anything here, just what TrackMania is designed: drive offline (solo) to medal and compete online with Track Maniacs on many servers around the world. So enough.

What then is the difference between Nations and United?

In addition to that from a known scenario of Nations stadium courses and the Nations Cup, there are six scenarios:
Rally
Island
Coast
Desert
Bay
and snow.

A total of 35 new routes are distributed among the entry-level championship of the six scenarios. 65 and added 35 new challenges resulting 100 – thus missing 21 new routes. This is distributed among the new stunt mode. On special rates apply it with the help of jumps, ramps and hills are also given high scores in a given time are welling, for which a variety of tricks are needed. However, if you on the roof or outside the track (which often ends up occurs) must begin the challenge again.

Among the different scenarios, different types of vehicles are used. Here, the range from the super sports car (island) to the Peugeot) 205 similar car (rally. The trick here is that all cars have a different driving physics, you have to change for each scenario and the game is not so boring.

Furthermore, the cars can still be changed in appearance by so-called mods and the community connection is through the so-called Mania links integrated into the game and the Trackmania payment, the currency is called “Coppers” is released here.

All in all, do you do with the issue of 30 euros is nothing wrong. I have not regretted the issue anyway.

This is basically very simple. I say in principle because there are limitations to which I shall explain later.

The color of a car so you can change to “View> Vehicles> Painting”. Here you can even change the look of the car, such as paint, stickers, and drawing with some brushes.

But here are some restrictions similar to the replacement of a complete model.

How to replace the model?

The simplest approach is that you go on http://www.trackmania-carpark.com, you go to select a skin of your choice, download and paste it into TrackMania.

Also, and this is important, without unpacking the zip file into the directory TrackMania \ Skins \ Vehicles \ StadiumCar \ insert. Then under “Select View > vehicles, the model and ready.

But …!

As with so many situations in life there is always a but. And so I now turn to the aforementioned restrictions. If you have exchanged the model of your car as described above, and didn’t read the text until the end, and then select the new car wanted, you probably wondering about the bullshit this guy told you. I don’t see the model anywhere. Right! Then you have the free version of the game, Trackmania Nations Forever. And then, to my disappointment, then the answer now is, you can’t change the skin. That is possible only with the full version of TrackMania United Nations.

A similar situation exists with the paint of your car. This change, although you can see, but the other online players see only the current standard car of your country for your skin.

Is it worthwhile now to spend the 30 euros for United?

I try to answer the question here.
