Introduction

Welcome!

This documentation aims to be an extensive hub of knowledge for the ManiaLink structure of Nadeo's videogame Trackmania United Forever and Trackmania Nations Forever. With the everchanging internet, it becomes harder and harder to find knowledge about ManiaLinks, while Trackmania 2 and Trackmania (2020) have an officially hosted API documentation by Nadeo, knowledge of the "Forever games" have been lost to time in old forums and websites long gone.

All data on this documentation has been retrieved using archive.org and manually checked and rewritten. Please see Credits for an extensible list of ressources used to create this documentation.

What is a ManiaLink?

A ManiaLink is a feature present in Nadeo's videogame Trackmania United Forever and Trackmania Nations Forever. The game features an in-game browser, similar to a webbrowser. With it, players can visit specially crafted "websites", called ManiaLinks. A ManiaLink can not only display text and images but also play sounds, music and enable players to download custom tracks, skins and replays.

What is a ManiaCode?

A ManiaCode enables players to access tracks, skins and replays. Developers can optionally request Coppers, the games in-game earned currency to access these ressources.

Examples

Sadly, after more than 15 years, a lot of the TrackMania Forever ManiaLinks have been inaccessible or shutdown. During the lifespan of the game, there has also been at least one instance where all records of existing named ManiaLinks have been wiped. That being said, there are still some ManiaLinks available.
