Where to write your script ? The short version.
The way to create or change a script depends on the type of script you want.
- To edit a GameMode, launch a solo or LAN game, and press Ctrl + ScrollLock. If you want to create a new one, lanch an existing one, then press Ctrl + ScrollLock, then SaveAs with a new name.
- To edit or create an map-editor plugin, use the plugin menu (the "fork" icon) in the editor
- To have a script in a manialink XML file, add a <script> ... </script> part in the manialink XML file

GameModes
GameModes for Trackmania and Shootmania are located in the Scripts\Modes folder of your Maniaplanet User directory (Usually My Documents/Maniaplanet)
Manialink
There are two ways for specifying your ManiaScript in a ManiaLink XML file:
- XML comment : Surround the script with the XML comment tags. Make sure the script itself does not contain "-->" or it will break the XML file.
```
* CDATA block : Define the script as a CDATA block. If the string "]]>" occur within your script, replace it with "]]]]><
