Ok the new ServerMania for Trackmania Forever (TMUF & TMUF) is there, even it's not explicitly written in the title. It means that there is no more different edition so United and Classic Edition are gone, and so TMO, TMS, TMN (ESWC) and TMU are no longer supported.

Actually if you decide to upgrade to this new version it means you simply move to Forever and its new dedicated server (TrackmaniaServer_2008-04-18.zip). If you still want to run dedicated server for old TM games you'll have to look there for classic edition files (TMO/TMS/TMN) and there for TMU.

As said before it's all new, so you'll have to use the new Forever dedicated server and to start from scratch for server configuration as there is many new parameters in the new server config file, so delete any old server configuration and set a new one.
If you want to run a dedicated server for TMNF you'll have to create another account using the game and use it for your server and don't forget to set Packmask to 'Stadium' in server configuration.

Support of Forever is not all that this new version brings, for more details just see changelog above.

Have an happy Forever hosting with ServerMania

There is no in game admin function in ServerMania, however you could give to someone one of the authorization level so he could administrates the server via Remote mode (Don't forget to change the default authorization paswwords and to allow remote control for your server).
OR : You'll have to use scripts (like FAST ...) that have in game admins functions.

I've tried both the installer and zip versions - same problem.

I am running this on a remote computer running XP, accessing it through TightVNC.

From website download page : ".NET Framework 2.0 is required !"

what does the 'Changing Validation seed' setting actually do and does it need to be enabled?

Don't really know but it has to do with how the referee validation thing work.

If you've issues with current version, you can try this new exe (0.96.3) (copy in ServerMania installation folder and overwrite original exe file).

This version includes the following fixs :

Code:

- Fixed : Race results HTML file was not showing all game settings. 
- Fixed : Guest list was saved in wrong location. 
- Fixed : Callbacks were not enabled if authentication passwords were not the default ones. 
- Fixed : Issue with loading packmask setting from config file if set to "nations" or "sunrise"
