This plugin displays a list of signs for easy access in game
Use
Once installed and setup the library should automatically open when you open skinning mode (f5)
From there you can select any sign in the library to have it automatically apply it to the current sign!
Setup
This setup will show you how to use a google sheets as a database for the sign library, but you can use any remote target that returns a csv file in the same format.
-
Create a google sheets document with the first collumn being the category of the sign, and the second the url.
The first row will be ignored as it is assumed you'll put the titles "Category" and "Url" there.
Rows with an empty url field will also be ignored so you can use those for comments etc.
-
Name the sheet something useful like "Sign Library"
-
Go to File > Share > Publish to the web.
In the link section, change "Entire Document" to the sheet you just made
Change "Web page" to "Comma-separated values"
-
Click publish and copy the link
(optionally enable auto republish if you want this to be a document people can easily upate)
-
In Trackmania, open the open planet settings menu (top bar "Open Planet" > Settings) (install this plugin if you haven't already)
-
Scroll down to the Sign Library section
-
Paste the link in the "Sign Database CSV url" field.
-
Enable custom csv checkbox and optionally disable the default one.
(looks like you might need to restart after this to get it to not show duplicates)
And done, from now on if you open Sign Library from the plugins list it'll display a window with the signs you selected in the google sheets document.
