Yeah, currently Squirrel is being used as a "sandbox" scripting language for testing. But by no means will be be the only language available on TMW server (the language of choice will be compiled into TMW server via defines, or possibly we could have multiple scripting environments chosen ...

I think SQLite will be put in use immediately, while other DBMS bindings would come later. As SQLite is: a) fast. b) small When it comes to DBMS, i would use PostgreSQL over MySQL anyday. Especially when PostgreSQL is the most standard compliant SQL available (Postgre is on its way to SQL:2003 compl...

Watch out! Because here comes nym in his ninja pyjamas!



Hah! I am an arteest! (we will need lots of player accessories & clothes to allow lots of player customization).

Many graphics which were posted in the forums are ripped, and hence are _not_ used in the game. The latest version of TMW uses all original graphics to my knowledge (although it is possible a _tiny_ ammount was ripped and slipped through our origin checks). But anything you can do for TMW would be e...

Heh, im struggling for 50... and i have been here 4 months more than Bjorn..

I have already pointed this out in my post above, player classifications will be found by looking at the players existing skills. The player will not be able to make up their own class name. This classification system is only there to allow players to see how another player specializes. For example,...

I myself dont really like the idea of general "class" types, i would rather have the player able to fully customize their character by building up certain skills (which are available to every character, this is a very loose skill system). By building certain skills up you gain access to ev...

Hey nym, you're hot

Why thank you so very much everyone!

Hehe, Congrats! You are the first female The Mana World goer... apart from ElvenProgrammer's girlfriend :wink: EDIT: I thought i might post a defaced picture of myself... as i have no good pictures of myself (cameras aren't my friend). And im not really clean shaven at the moment (its a long weekend...

this thread is pointless, please do not advertise in the TMW forums. TMW forums are for TMW, not Graal. If you want to find artists you shouldn't look on someone elses game forum.

Guichan is the GUI library being used in TMW. For more information, see the Guichan website ( http://guichan.sf.net/ )

What features would you like to see in TMW in the future? If you have an idea which isn't already implemented or planned for TMW, please suggest it. This will be used to help us consolidate features which TMW will have with its new server which is currently under development. The ideas listed below ...

Oh, crap... that could be bad as well, because if they get it patented they can ask us to stop using this name because its very similar, even though we were using it before them. Maybe we should email them or something, maybe they can give us a big royalty fee for using our name

Well, some sort of reputation system would be quite nice, and depending on your reputation you can do various things & NPC's interact with you in various ways. For example, if you are a character with a bad reputation, the shop keeper may charge you more because he doesn't like you, etc. This do...

Bear: rendering a alpha translucent rectangle over the screen in 2d has serious performance problems (although in OpenGL version it would be fine). Talaroc: instead of just a simple filter a filter could be defined which would keep the sprites looking decent (we would have to try a few things) -- li...
