How can I make matchmaking for a my team mode ?

It's fairly easy! You may need to write a few lines of PHP. Let's say you want to create for the script MassiveFrenzy which is a 12 vs 12 team mode.

• First customize the match maker for the needed number of players. Go to the folder MatchMakingLobby\MatchMakingLobby\Lobby\MatchMakers
• Create a file named MassiveFrenzy.php with the folowing content :

<?php
namespace ManiaLivePlugins\MatchMakingLobby\Lobby\MatchMakers;

class MassiveFrenzy extends AbstractAllies
{
	function getNumberOfTeam()
	{
		return 2;
	}

	function getPlayersPerMatch()
	{
		return 24;
	}

	protected function getFallbackMatchMaker()
	{
		return DistanceElite::getInstance();
	}

}
?>

If you do not want to use the allies system, just replace AbstractAllies with AbstractLadderPointsDistance.

• Create the matchmaking setting. Create a file named MassiveFrenzy.php in MatchMakingLobby\MatchMakingLobby\MatchSettings\ with this content :

<?php
namespace ManiaLivePlugins\MatchMakingLobby\MatchSettings;

class MassiveFrenzy implements MatchSettings
{
	public function getLobbyScriptSettings()
	{
		$rules = array('S_UseLobby' => true);
		return $rules;
	}

	public function getMatchScriptSettings()
	{
		$rules = array('S_Mode' => false);
		$rules['S_Mode'] = 1;
		$rules['S_WarmUpDuration'] = 15;
		return $rules;
	}	
}

?>

How can I make my own matchmaker function ?

Long story short : you should make a class that implement the interface ManiaLivePlugins\MatchMakingLobby\Lobby\MatchMakers\MatchMakerInterface

We have built some classes to help you do this.
