It - features expanding lands and community-made graphics, making for a - fun, free, open source community project. - - ##PAethyra started out as "The Mana Experiment," an experimental - test-server for community-developed content designed for The Mana - World which was put into action by Blame, Sanga, and Sertaline. - ##PSoon thereafter, it became evident that it was taking far too - long for the elitist development team at The Mana World to - implement good tested-content. They made excuses and treated the - long-awaited custom server TMWServ as the answer to all the problems, - and left the eAthena server (which The Mana World still runs on) - to rot. Many development team members lost interest in helping, and - the programmers forsook the eAthena server saying that it would - simply delay TMWServ progress for months to fix the simplest of - errors. In response to this, The Mana Experiment became a fork - project, and an official game server. - ##PTime passed, and more and more content was tested and implemented. - Soon, discussion began for a name. Aethyra was chosen, and the Game - you see now was setup. Content development has never been better, and - the staff never more motivated! Stay on the lookout for more exciting - Aethyra developments! - -##3 === Aethyra's Goal === - - ##PAethyra is a community driven experiment that utilizes eAthena at - its core with the end goal of getting its players as involved in the - process as much as possible. It's originally forked from The Mana - World when its developers came up with the idea of "Why should we - have to wait for an MMORPG game in development when we've already got - a great server setup here that does everything we've been promised - and more?" ##P As such, we are trying to implement as many functions - of eAthena as possible while creating our own in the process based - on what our players want to see. + ##2The Mana World (TMW)##P is a serious effort to create an innovative free + and open source MMORPG. TMW uses 2D graphics and aims to create a + large and diverse interactive world. It is licensed under the GPL, + making sure this game can't ever run away from you. + + The project includes the development of both a client and a server, + as well as the development of an online world. At the moment we're + making alpha releases of the client, while our server is in early + development. The eAthena free software Ragnarok Online server is used + until our own server has matured enough to replace it. Once ready, + we'll be making releases of our server too so anybody will be free to + set up their own server and start building their own online world. diff --git a/data/help/changes.txt b/data/help/changes.txt index 60e78419..50242b50 100644 --- a/data/help/changes.txt +++ b/data/help/changes.txt @@ -2,7 +2,74 @@ ##3 === RECENT CHANGES === - -Go to http://gitorious.org/projects/tmw/repos/aethyra for a detailed -list of changes. - + + 0.0.28.1 (12 February 2009) + - Enabled translations on Windows + - Added command line option to set home directory path + - Tweaked green chat color to be a bit more readable + - Made font size configurable in the config file + - Fixed restoring of punching animation after weapon removal + - Fixed inability to chat while talking to NPCs + - Updated Swedish translation + + 0.0.28 (25 January 2009) + - Added support for animated map tiles + - Added support for internationalization, plus many translations + - Added support for TrueType fonts + - Trade window is now resizable + - Obscure precise home directory name when making screenshots + - Fixed follow-parent of nested and being-following particle emitters + + 0.0.27 (9 December 2008) + - Added support for showing map name above minimap + - Added showing how long the ban is when banned + - Added --data parameter for developers + - Added particle effect for critical hits + - Added support for dynamic skill names and hair colors + - Added support for status effects + - Added ability to add equipment to the shortcut bar + - Added ability to change configuration during login phase (from Aethyra) + - Mouse cursor will now hide when not used for some time + - Inventory window now displays amount of slots used + - Center minimap on player when it is larger than the minimap window + - Extended particle emitters with properties that can change over time + - Extended the GUI font to support more characters + - Only require a restart to switch to full screen with OpenGL on Windows + - Make sure news and update file list aren't cached (from Aethyra) + - Made NPC dialogs resizable (from Aethyra) + - Made window shortcuts configurable + - Fixed visibility of trade window on startup + - Fixed a client input freeze when closing NPC script from server + - Fixed dead players to lie on the ground instead of standing around + - Fixed shortcuts being activated when trade window was visible + - Fixed a crash when equipment window is open + - Fixed money value on failing to buy (from Aethyra) + - Fixed crash in right-click menu when used after a being disappeared + + 0.0.26 (29 August 2008) + - Added support for a newer version of eAthena server + - Added support for showing custom being effects + - Added new features to the particle engine + - Position names and chat such that there is no overlap, when possible + - Fixed a crash when loading a corrupt map that has too much layer data + + 0.0.25 (27 July 2008) + - Added support for whispering to other players + - Added ability to ignore other players + - Added command line argument for specifying the update host (-H) + - Added support for receiving the update host from the server + - Added support for displaying a shield sprite + - Added shortcut window, allowing you to quickly access inventory items + - Added message when gaining money from trade or quest + - Added support for an arbitrary number of map layers + - Added support for basing one sprite definition on another + - Added the possibility to assign particle effects to NPCs + - Added remembering whether windows are visible or not + - Updated to work with Guichan 0.8.x + - Improved accuracy of monster targeting with the mouse + - Page up and page down will now scroll the chat window + - Item icons are now loaded on demand and unloaded when no longer used + - Fixed display of critical hits + - Fixed multi-channel image dyeing + - Fixed updating of money display after buying + diff --git a/data/help/commands.txt b/data/help/commands.txt index 2785869c..c4795050 100644 --- a/data/help/commands.txt +++ b/data/help/commands.txt @@ -48,9 +48,10 @@ /whisper <name> <message> - This will send <message> to player <name>, if that player is logged in. - to whisper to users with spaces in there name you must incase the user name in qoutes - (e.g. /whisper "user name" <message>) + This will send <message> to player <name>, if that player is logged in.
