Welcome to this humble page for:

### Introduction:

This is a simple hub page for TrackMania² Canyon, Stadium and Valley. It aims to collect in one place useful information and references to official and community sites for these racing games by Nadeo. Here are relevant excerpts from their announcements:

"TrackMania² Canyon will give players an adrenaline-filled experience, with insane jumps, controlled drifting and extreme speed. Driving in the Canyon is like running on a tightrope, only the fearless will succeed. It goes far beyond traditional driving games with a fully customisable world of tracks generated by the players themselves! With loops, wall rides, ramps and a multitude of other stunts, you're in for the ride of your life!"

"With over 12 million players, Stadium is the all time favorite racer on PC. A classic needs to stay true to its roots. The acclaimed gameplay of Stadium remains identical: same speed, same controls, same blocks!
This core experience is improved by ManiaPlanet: better graphics and more tools for the community. Lots of competitions, new maps and game modes. The most creative community on PC can now benefit from ManiaPlanet cutting edge technologies."

"The third game of the TrackMania² series is taking place in a lush valley with a rally gameplay. Reaching a level of detail never achieved on a TrackMania game, the valley environment will blow you away at first glance. The challenging gameplay will offer you hours and hours of fun, trying to shave milliseconds off every tight corner. Precision and control are key on this playground. Drifting is a last resort and will make you lose time."

### TM² Downloads:

- See the Game Client page on XAseco.org.

### TM² Versions:

- See the TM² Client & Server Versions page on XAseco.org.

### Installation:

- New installation of v1.03:
  See the XASECO2 Installation page on XAseco.org, or go directly to the TM² & XASECO2 quick start guide.
- Upgrading from v1.02 to v1.03:
  See the XASECO2 Upgrade page on XAseco.org for general instructions.
  The following files were updated in v1.03: xaseco2.php, dedimania.xml, includes/gbxdatafetcher.inc.php, mxinfosearcher.inc.php, rasp.funcs.php, rasp.settings.php, plugins/chat.dedimania.php, plugin.checkpoints.php, plugin.dedimania.php, plugin.rasp.php.
  Important:
  - To configure your server for the central Dedimania database, you must copy the login value in the `<masterserver_account>` section from your server's dedicated_cfg.txt file into the corresponding section of the dedimania.xml file. Further, register your server with the Dedimania system, generate a DedimaniaCode, and add that in dedimania.xml as well.
  - Open port 8082 on your firewall/router for communication with the central Dedimania server.
  - In the zip file, all *.XML and *.PHP config files are located inside the newinstall/ directory. This means that you can (and have to) unzip the download and replace all the PHP code files, without worrying about overwriting your customized config files. However, for every XML/PHP config file that was updated (see above), you must replace your version with the one from the newinstall/ directory, or compare them and add any new/changed configuration settings to your version to insure the system remains working correctly.
  - For a new installation, go into the newinstall/ directory and move all *.XML files into the main directory (next to xaseco2.php), all *.PHP files into the includes/ directory, and XAseco2.bat|XAseco2.sh also into the main directory.
- Upgrading from v0.90 to v1.02:
  See the archived Upgrade notes.
