Only one question. Someone want to see me as GM?

[Frost]

NO poll, simply question. I am tired of making exp. I am bored of make something for myself....And still trying to make people something interesting.

Forget GM, you might be a good developer!
As you see, we need more

• quest stories
• quest scripts
• interesting NPCs (not necessarily for a quest, maybe for game information, or just fun)
• graphics of all kinds: clothing, monsters, land
• maps

If your greatest desire is to become a GM I will propose you, but I am of the same opinion as Frost, you're a creator then go with developer, maybe because gm is annoying to be at long term too. So think about it and tell me what do you think of the proposition from Frost.

Best regards,

When you are a sysadmin, you certainly are technically inclined. The eAthena scripting language isn't really that difficult. It's more like writing markup than real programming (unless you want to do real crazy stuff like the Candor scripting). We already taught many non-technical people how to do it. The biggest hurdle is usually setting up your own test server, but as a sysadmin you shouldn't have problems with that.

[*] quest stories[/b]
Yes, my brains are very creative.

[*] quest scripts[/b]
I don't know about scripting. Nothing, ZERO, i'm studied to be sis admin, not programmer.

[*] interesting NPCs (not necessarily for a quest, maybe for game information, or just fun)[/b]
Read about stories.

[*] graphics of all kinds: clothing, monsters, land
In words i can imagine big amount of different things, also can try to photoshop/gimp it too, but also read about scripting

[*] maps[/b]
I can create story about maps, but cant draw or script them.

PS I've start MMORPG life in Ragnarok Online, so remember battle system e.t.c. from there.
PPS I think, Frost, you have heard my live story - live forced me to become optimist and creative. I could possibly to become scientific fantastic for kids book author.

But decide yourself. But i will launch my "Pole chudes" game.

Hi Nooby,

Maybe after more reflexion, I know that you can find your own way, you are genius!!!
You will see many good creators around team developer of TMW.

So, I wish you all the best

Also make new location for Sagatha. Where would be only herbs, as it is in Ragnarok Online Yggdrasil Tree, also make "undead" locations, not simply graveyard, but whole town, like Nifflheim, Realm of the Dead and additional locations connected to it where only undead monsters would live. In town only some sculls, in one nif_fld easier mobs, without jackos and fallens, in second nif_fld strong mobs, alot of Jackos, Fallens, Zombies, Skulls. Also should be added items like "Dead branch" that summon random monster. As strong as Herb. But i can't draw.

PS There was already ideas from another players, make Fine Dress like for males, i think it should be Tuxedo

I think everyone know about "Wizardry Oz"(I don't know correct name of book), in Russian remake there are whole line of stories. It is "Mana World", why not to add kids stories here?

Didn't you say you had a "very creative brain"? Because most of what you suggest is just plagiarism.

[Kazenawa]

Crush, i didn't told creative brain... We all had same childhood, we all were educated by our parents. Human simply impossible make more than his was taught to. Our life is complete copy of humans than were before us. But about tuxedo it is silly question that it is copy, it can decide anyone, i only gave link to possible sprite. You want something clean from me... it is impossible to make, all will be based on something. Only biographic writings can not be plugiated.

So what do you think about great scientists or musicians ? On what they based ? Certainly not from others humans before them...

I mean that's completely possible to make something new. Harder than copying, for sure, but certainly possible. Hopefully, orelse living would have no interest... To my mind that's useless to copy what's someone's already did. To base your creation on it, why not, bt creating your own thing without base is really greater, and not impossible...

[Kazenawa]

Kazenawa, for past century humans did not made anything new. We still using same speedometer, tachometer, lighting bulbs. Same for computer, it simply paper. Only what humans made and making it is rising efficiency of any devices. And i'm not fully coping pasting. Tell me at least one person who is doing something fully by himself, not taking anything from books and/or other type of literature?! Tell me if i am not right. What last time did you have done that you had never seen before? I will answer for you, never!

I was writing huge report for college, theme "Information classification". There is correct phrase: "We know, understand information from what we see, feel." When u was small boy, parents dressed you in darks wearing, boys wearing, but if they would wear you in pink, light etc wearing, you would dress up like it yourself. Again question, u disagree?

P.S. Sorry, I'm not Malevich, but it does not change anything, he already had drawn images: "Black square", "White square", "Black circle"...
P.P.S. Before telling to other "made yourself", try to do it yourself.

There is such joke: "quantity of humans is rising, but IQ stays same"(it is free translation).

I simply won't rewrite what we said about it online

We can continue with semantics regarding the possible use of plagiarism but I don't see that. I see cbuhka is referencing his influences for creative ideas. Artists have influences and where would we be without great influent-ors?

[Crush]

OK, you won. Now do something productive

[tux9th]

what should this foot passage between towns be?
Do you want to connect Tulimshar and Hurnscald by land? Because if you want to that is impossible. Tulimshar and Hurnscald are on different continents. There is water between two continents.
look at this: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Geography

[Crush]

You mean a tunnel connection? Well, a cave connection would be possible, but keep the distance in mind. The wiki has the planned map of the continent Hurnscald is on: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Argaes (on that map, Hurnscald is still named "Woodland Village"). Only the northwest corner of Argaes is already mapped. Tonori lays southeast of Argaes.

The distance you have to span would be at least 20 maps.

[Crush]

Also i need to know where to download maps textures so start making undead town.

A development snapshot of all client data - including maps and tilesets (the graphics are in graphics/tiles) - can be found here:
https://github.com/themanaworld/tmwa-client-data Please don't use any graphics you found elsewhere, because we are very serious about copyright. When something is missing, feel free to request it from our artists in the graphics development forum (but remember that they are volunteers, and will only make them when you can inspire them).

When you want to become seriously involved into development, you should consider learning how to use git and clone the repository, but for now you can just download individual files with your web browser.

[Crush]

Maybe the undead town could be underground in the tunnels, half way between Tonori and Argaes?

But it could be hard to build a good town with the graveyard tiles, because the only building tiles are the crypt. The crypt was designed as a whole object, not as a flexible tileset which can be used to construct different buildings. So all buildings in the town would look alike.

I am closing this thread, because I think this discussion should be moved to the Content Development forum. I would split the thread, but I can't find a good post to split from.

Please create a new thread in Content Development explaining in detail

-what you want to do
-what you can and will do yourself
-what resources you need from other developers
