Hi everyone.
I am a trackmania player who loves to develop tools for the game.
I assumed that the old ManiaPlanet Telemetry API (shared memory) would still be functional in this version, and I was right, up to a certain point.
It turns out that the game writes some information to the shared memory, but not all: it writes the "ManiaPlanet__Telemetry" magic string at the start, the name of the map we are currently playing, and its ID, but the rest is zeroed out or incoherent. For example, the game state is always set to "Menu", even when we are racing.
Is this a known fact ?
Is it intentional to remove this feature ?
Do we need to have paid access in order for this API to work ?
Is this a bug ?
Best regards,
