Troll emote in new ManaPlus

[gumi]

I have heard that many players did not update ManaPlus because they did not want to loose the troll emote. However, new versions have lots of bug fixes and improvements, notably a quest log. To all of you that did not update ManaPlus because of the removed troll emote there is a way to get it back in new versions:

Easy instructions

1. Update ManaPlus
2. If you are on Linux, open a terminal and paste this and press enter:

   Code: Select all

   curl --create-dirs -L -o ~/.local/share/mana/updates/tmwdata.org/updates/local/graphics/sprites/manaplus_emotions.png http://git.io/vICzr

   OR (if your machine does not have curl)

   Code: Select all

   mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mana/updates/tmwdata.org/updates/local/graphics/sprites && wget -O ~/.local/share/mana/updates/tmwdata.org/updates/local/graphics/sprites/manaplus_emotions.png http://git.io/vICzr

   If you are on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, press Win+R (win is the button with the flag on it) and type PowerShell and press enter. In the window that opens paste this and press enter:

   Code: Select all

   mkdir $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Mana\updates\tmwdata.org\updates\local\graphics\sprites; Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ManaPlus/ManaPlus/bd54c1adb58084531c5bbb34cc898cedf2a79561/data/graphics/sprites/manaplus_emotions.png -OutFile $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Mana\updates\tmwdata.org\updates\local\graphics\sprites\manaplus_emotions.png

3. Restart ManaPlus

Keep in mind that the Troll emote is copyright-protected so we can not distribute it within manaplus so if you want it you need to manually add it.


Alternate instructions for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10
If the instructions for windows above didn't work then you have to do it manually:

1. Open this address in your web browser: http://git.io/vICzr
2. Right click and save the picture on your desktop (or any folder). DO NOT RENAME IT
3. Open your file manager (click on any folder) and in the location bar write %LocalAppData% and press enter.
4. Open the folder Mana and then updates then tmwdata.org and finally updates
5. Open the folder local Create it if it does not exist
6. Open the folder graphics Create it if it does not exist
7. Open the folder sprites Create it if it does not exist
8. Paste the picture in this folder and restart manaplus

If you are using Windows XP you need to replace manaplus_emotions.png in C:\Program Files\Mana\data\graphics\sprites
Keep in mind that if you are on Windows XP it will be overwritten when you update ManaPlus so you need to do it every time

We are temporarily using a different update server so until we move back to tmwdata.org you need to change tmwdata.org to updates.themanaworld.org in the commands

For example:

curl --create-dirs -L -o ~/.local/share/mana/updates/updates.themanaworld.org/updates/local/graphics/sprites/manaplus_emotions.png http://git.io/vICzr

Update
Use the same command as before but please change http://git.io/vICzr to http://git.io/vGKlJ to get the NEW troll emote or http://git.io/vGKlD for the legacy troll emote

For example:

curl --create-dirs -L -o ~/.local/share/mana/updates/updates.themanaworld.org/updates/local/graphics/sprites/manaplus_emotions.png http://git.io/vGKlJ
