The Mana World Forums

Hello everyone!

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

Thanks for reading! ^_^

The single entry point for all development is: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/How_to_Develop

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 There's this article, which is slightly outdated and really should be merged into the main article: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ...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 need help it's best to get on IRC.

Thanks I will try and figure it out. But how do you download all the textures and all that jazz? And okay I will give that a go too Thanks

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?
