Original Post — Direct link
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,

Hey Elirso,

Thank you for bringing this all to our attention and for providing so much detail.

Since your post we have completed many updates that should have helped with these.

Would it be possible to let us know if these are still persisting?

Hello everyone,

If you are struggling to find information about the telemetry data in the game, or you would like to be able to view more of it, like you could in older Mania Planet Telemetry API, you can always ask the developers to implement this in a future update by leaving your feedback and ideas here -
