QT is easily themeable. Well, it's not that easy, and only possible for QWidget based applications, and widgets don't serve the needs of games very well. We'll be using a QGraphicsView, and so far graphics widgets don't have theming capabilities. Still, it's not really harder to implement custom gr...

Btw, 4144, I'm interested to know why you seem to be no longer pushing your patches into the main client. You posted some patches on IRC before, why no longer? Do you think your patches are not useful for the main client, or did it seem too hard to convince us to accept your patches?

In TMWserv, Bjorn was even in favor of removing the DAL and make use of QT, but I'm completely against this thought, cutting much of the DB flexibility of the server and bringing heavy dependence to it. Bjorn should beware of himself sometimes: He's getting formatted to think QT all the time ;) Reg...

An initial website for this project has been set up at http://manasource.org/. It's very basic right now, but we'll work on that later. Thanks to irukard for the nice logo!

I don't know what's the current status, but I guess, we will need some help in server administration. I've out of the scenes for so long, that I don't know who's responsible for what. Jaxad0127 and I have been doing the server administration in the past months. I don't plan to leave you guys in the...

Rotonen, Bertram, Jaxad, I'm not trying to fork the project. This is a separation between on one side client/server development and on the other side (production-) server content and player community. The Mana Client is not expected to be much different from the client we have now, apart from not ha...

The downloadable installers will also have a very small filesize because their only payload is the branding. This will be an additional incentive for the user to try them (when they see that it is downloading 50 additional megs from the net they already overcame the hesitation to download and start...

Feel free to correct me, I made this scheme on purpose. Bertram, I get the feeling you don't understand the essence of the change and the most important problems it is trying to solve. The point is really to separate development from any particular player community, which makes it imperative that d...

Thanks for all your insights and especially also for raising possible issues with this change! Crush, I don't think technical development and content development will stop encouraging each other even when more separated. You've seen yourself that also 3rd parties like Invertika push us to implement ...

The current situation of development being closely related to one central server has always shown considerate drawbacks. For example: We've always strived to make the client generic enough to be used with entirely different servers, but this opportunity isn't used in practice . Instead, we've seen s...

Most of the things you did, like improving the Spanish translation of the client, fixing issues with the content (like map 001-4) and the PHP module to create accounts from the website would be really great to contribute back to this project. * The Spanish translation of the client can be fixed on L...

I've banned Slicer for spamming the server with characters and spamming a number of players out of the game using whispers. Since he also plays under kinwa and lamb, these characters were also banned. Proof of character spamming the server: http://pastie.org/private/96cfh20qt0z65zsth6t2vq (that IP w...

However, the site seems unreachable at the time of this posting.

Well, neither Jaxad0127 nor I are GMs, yet we can change the client news.

Btw, your signature is way too annoying.

Also, you didn't answer the question. Who's idea was it?? Only I could have been so reckless, and I'm sorry that I have not informed any GM properly about this. The idea had been with me for a while already, and the latest discussion about whether what a GM did was proper or not tripped me into swi...
