The TrackMania Forever game client uses a XML-RPC based web API to communicate with the master server. This article attempts to document the API with the potential goal of eventually having a fully functional custom master server.

Basic concepts

TrackMania uses a XML-RPC based API to authenticate players, load server lists, load rankings, etc. Below is some documentation about what has been reversed engineered. A lot is still left to be documented, as logged on the Progress page.

The game sends HTTP(s) POST requests to

to communicate with the API, using the headers: User-Agent: GameBox and Accept: */*

Request

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <game>
    <name>TmForever</name>
    <version>2.11.16</version>
    <distro>MOLUX</distro>
    <lang>fr</lang>
  </game>
  <author>
    [...]
  </author>
  <request>
    <name>[...]</name>
    <params>
      [...]
    </params>
  </request>
  <auth>
    <value>[...]</value>
  </auth>
</root>

Here is a description of the xml:

  • root
    • game
      • name The client you are using. Known values: TmForever
      • version Version of the client.
      • distro Unknown. Set to MOLUX for TMNF or TAHOR for TMUF.
      • lang Language of the client, as ISO 639-1.
    • author See #Author.
    • request
      • name Name of the requested function.
      • param Parameters for the call.
    • auth Optional. Only seen on Connect and Disconnect.
      • value Looks like an auth ticket.

Author

The author tag identifies the user sending the request. In this documentation, three cases are possible for the author tag:

  • The method doesn't require authentication (denoted as "No (Empty)"), the author tag is filled with following content: 
    <login/>
<session/>
  • The method requires user name (denoted as "No (Set to 1)"), the author tag is filled with following content: 
    <login>the user's name</login>
<session>1</session>
  • The method requires authentication (denoted as "Yes"), the author tag is filled with following content: 
    <login>the user's name</login>
<session>the session's id</session>

Response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<r>
  <r>
    <n>[...]</n>
    <c>
      [...]
    </c>
  </r>
  <e>execution time : 0.0010 s</e>
</r>

Here is a description of the returned xml:

  • r
