Title Pack is a Maniaplanet content pack that uses official Trackmania games as a base. They allow you to use features of Maniaplanet games freely to create new game experiences.

Title packs are stored as Pack.Gbx files (Pak format).

Customization

Title packs can be customized in various ways that are not otherwise available in official titles:

  • Custom menu
  • Solo gamemode
  • Item content above 1MB per map (that would otherwise need to be embedded)

Base

A title pack can be based on one of these title bases:

  • TMCanyon (TrackMania Canyon)
  • TMStadium (TrackMania Stadium)
  • TMValley (TrackMania Valley)
  • TMLagoon (TrackMania Lagoon)
  • TMAll (All Trackmania) - all TM2 environments within a single title
  • SMStorm (ShootMania Storm)

A title pack can be also made by using a Title Maker.

Encryption

Title packs are user-made Pak files, which means they have some encryption involved in them.

To unlock a title pack, the main requirement is to send a request to the master server, which will respond with a partial key that the client will resolve into final two keys that allow the decryption process. Partial keys are then stored in Profile.Gbx, which allows offline access to the title packs.

Because of this, once the master server shuts down, title packs that were never installed will no longer be possible to play.

Trivia

  • Trackmania 2020 runs on a title pack called Trackmania and it uses the TMStadium base.
  • Nadeo has made an official TrackMania2 title pack supporting all TrackMania² environments from one menu, but since Maniaplanet 4 (which overhauled the whole title pack system), it was never updated, so it was later replaced with the community-made TrackMania² Multienvironment title pack.
