This forum houses many years of development, tracing back to some of the earliest posts that exist on the board. Its current use is for the continued development of the server and game it has always served: The Mana World.
I am quite new to the community but I honestly love the experience I have had and I tend to try and be a GM and a fellow helper to beginners in the future too :3
I also have a passion for game design (Especially making maps) and I would be honored to contribute to TMW.
However I have no idea where to start! D: I don't know what program to use to design maps or anything like that but I'm very willing to learn
If anyone has the time to send me any links to necessary programs or have any helpful tips I would be very much grateful and would love you forever xD
For just getting your environment set up, this is complete (except for that hook thing - I should fix that immediately); as you learn other things we would appreciate you editing it. In particular, the Mapping Tutorial is based on an old version, although most of the information is still relevant.

You don't strictly need Linux, but developing in Windows is always a pain. There's this article, which is slightly outdated and really should be merged into the main article: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... on_Windows

If you follow the instructions on the "How to Develop" page, the textures will be pulled in by the --recursive flag of 'git clone', and found in the client-data/graphics/* subdirectories.
This is not to be taken as an excuse to skip the other steps.

Could you possibly explain that in absolute noob terms?
