How do I choose my stats?

• Agility: Makes your enemies hit you less often and increases your attack speed.
• Vitality: Increases your maximum HP and your HP recovery rate. Decreases the amount of damage you receive from hits.

Support questions

Does TMW have an IRC channel?

Yes it does. For direct web access with no IRC client go to http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#themanaworld.

Otherwise feel free to join these channels within your IRC client:

• Server: irc.freenode.net
  • Channel: #themanaworld (user support and off topic discussions)
  • Channel: #evol-dev (developers' channel, mostly content)

Also there are some channels for related projects.

• Server: irc.freenode.net
  • Channel: #manaplus (The official client)
  • Channel: #tiled (Editor for .tmx maps)

Is my platform supported?

The server is currently only supported under linux now. We have no server packages so you will have to build it from source. Instructions can be found here: How to Develop.

The client is supports Mac, Windows and GNU/Linux. Packages can be found on our [Downloads Page]. Otherwise you can check [[1]] for updates & source.

Where can I look for help?

The IRC channel, [Support], is a good start for solving small problems or doubts. Most people are from Europe (UTC or UTC+1 timezones), or the Americas (mostly UTC-5 to UTC-8), you will have more success at certain hours in the day. Please do not log out if you do not get an answer immediately.

For more complex problems (compilations problems, crashes...) it is advisable to use the forums, as it is a non-volatile way of storing your claims. If you do it in IRC, some people won't have the opportunity to read them and your opportunity of getting further help will be narrowed. At the same time posting long logs or reports on IRC is not polite.

Of course, using the search feature and reading the forum announcements is a smart thing to do.

When is this game updated?

This depends on the availability of developers. Every TMW developer volunteers their free times, and there are periods when free time is scarce. New content could be very quick to come or very slow depending on this. To keep up, visit our forums and IRC!

The Manaplus client is its own project and with complete control of its own releases. Manaplus releases frequently and is always responsive to our needs.

I want to help, how do I join the team?

First, if you are a developer read this: Joining the project.

If you're a graphic artist is suggested you read the Guidelines and take a look at the Graphics section on Development.

If you want to help coding some scripts or managing server content, read How to Develop

If you just want to suggest something, use the Suggestions/Feedback subforum.

Common problems

When I try to login using the account that usually works, I get following message: Disconnected from server

The message is misleading. It means that the game server is not online at the moment. Try again later.

If you really want to make sure, make sure you're trying to connect to server.themanaworld.org and that the port in your config.xml is set to 6901.

If that is the case and you still are not convinced it really is down, run "ping -c1 <host>" to check if the server's machine is up at or run "telnet <host> <port>" to also check if the server software is listening on the port you specified. Telnet should timeout after a while if it cannot connect to the specific port on the host.
