Sound effects are somewhat easier than graphics. A lot of things lack sound. All a person needs to do basic sound effect composition is a microphone and a tool to warp the recordings with, like audacity.

http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/SFX
that's a list of monsters and the sounds they need.
Implementation is straightforward, not a biggie. Just be sure to use the .ogg sound format if you submit any sounds or music. We don't use MP3 as it is encumbered by patents.

You can also read the CR1 forum and look for a task that help is wanted with.

TMW is a great place to learn pixel art, It isn't often we get sound though.

For sound effects, basically just a mic and some junk. silverware, plastic bottles, balloons, a bundle of twigs, a tree branch, a sledge hammer and a water mellon...

Hello Darkfangex

I am happy to hear that you want to contribute. But what exactly do you mean with "what kind of coding is needed"? I can not really make out what you mean with that phrase.

Anyway, the following wiki article should give you a general idea how things work around here:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... he_project
new spells
In my opinion the whole magic system is a mess, but when you would like to contribute in this area you should contact Jaxad0127 or Kage on IRC.
and equipment , and such , or how things look
To help in this area you will need to learn how to do pixel art. There are some tutorials at the bottom of our guidelines page on the wiki:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Guidelines
particles
The particle system is well documented on the wiki. The documentation can be found here:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Particle_engine
I also created an unfinished tutorial here:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... e_Tutorial
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

SFX work: the lightsaber sound from Star Wars movies is an electric razor in a water glass in the bathroom of a hotel after a rather wild night in Vegas.
