Dedicated Server Controller for ManiaPlanet games by Ubisoft/NADEO!
eXpansion2 is based on Symfony components which allows a very modular
structure.
Manialink generation is powered by steeffeen's Fancy
Manialink's library, and we use some custom parts to inject maniascrips.
Top Features
Great Code
The experience you get coding for eXpansion, can serve you every where else and even on your CV. If you have used Symfony before, you'll have no troubles writing additions for eXpansion. And what you learn by writing eXpansion additions, you can apply for Symphony websites!
Light & Fast
Use of ManiaScript allows to delegate tasks and take the load off from the server. eXpansion2 sends a single manialink to update all widgets data; maniascript handles player related data. Manialinks are send grouped to create as little load as possible for the dedicated server.
International
eXpansion has multilingual support. Translating eXpansion for a new language is an easy task to do. Contact us, if you wish to translate for your language!
Keep up to date
Thanks to Composer you can keep very easily updated with the latest stable, nightly or subscribe even for the development build!
