Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

N810 port working on my N900 :) but need some dependency, but not very very hard to find :D

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

can't believe I never tried this just did and it works.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

I'm trying to create official N900 packages based on the Debian build files, but I encountered some issues:

* Had to disable OpenGL since TMW doesn't support OpenGL ES yet (only plain OpenGL).
* Had to remove ttf-dejavu-core dependency and have it include data/fonts in the package (and remove tmw-data.links).
* Had to change the location of the binary from /usr/games to /usr/bin, or it would not be in the path on the N900.
* There was no "dh_prep" command, I replaced it with the older "dh_clean -k" command.

Now I've got the following packages (I also Maemo-optified them):
http://manasource.org/files/maemo/

However, some problems remain:

* I am not able to activate the chat input by using the Enter key (and there isn't any other way I believe).
* When running fullscreen, there is no way to quit the game apart from using the off button of the phone and choosing "End current task".
* It defaults to running windowed 800x600. Source needs to be patched to default to full screen and 800x480 (for now I edited my ~/.tmw/config.xml and added a screenheight entry).
* The default font size is too small, it should probably default to the largest size.
* The .desktop file should still be moved to /usr/share/applications/hildon to show up among the applications.

So in saying it worked fine for you, did you solve any of these remaining problems? It'd really be nice if we could add TMW 0.0.29.1 to Maemo Extras at some point.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

For me it has worked after I re-assigned the key in setup dialog. I chosen Enter again :) and now I can activate chat. Yes, with Enter key ;).You may want to try the same and see what being stored as key to config and maybe provide it by default to n900 users, etc.

There are dozen of ways:
1) Use camkeyd, it so convenient to invoke task manager.
2) Or hit Ctrl+BkSpace, also calls task manager.
3) You can switch off fullscreen mode
4) You can start camera and quit it, returning to task manager.
But yes, quit could be more convenient and obvious though.

I also set up 800x480 and it worked for me. I used 0.29-1 version from devel repositories, not that one from manasource site.

Idea: maybe it's good to adjust default config file for n900? :)

In general it works and I can chat, attack monsters, etc, FPS is not very great but quite playable. At least I can walk around Hurnscald, kill couple simple monsters, etc :).

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Quick note on the enter key: N900 for whatever reason sends a numberpad enter code instead of main keyboard enter code. It has to be remapped in most any program that recognizes those as different keys.

This looks pretty cool, good luck getting it fixed up!

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

They should be pretty much exactly the same. I eventually managed to upload tmw to Extras Devel. :-) Thanks for your feedback! Indeed we need to patch this game to change some of the defaults. For example running fullscreen in 800x480.

About the framerate, I'm hoping OpenGL can help there, but first I'll have to learn how to port from OpenGL to OpenGL ES. :-)

Good to know, thanks!

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

This is a very promising port :-)

Good luck guys, I can't wait to start testing

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

I've managed to find some time to do a new release, fixing the following issues:

tmw (0.0.29.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

* Fixed a crash when switching between fullscreen/windowed.
* Set default Enter key to use Numpad Enter.
* Set default resolution to 800x480 and fullscreen.
* Set default font to be set to Large.
* Set default GUI alpha to be 1 for performance reasons.
* Set default overlay detail to low.

A few issues still remain, and I also could use help from somebody more familiar with Maemo packaging. But I haven't gotten around to looking into a good way of working together on a package yet...

* There is still no launcher icon (.desktop file still in the wrong location)
* The package is still not optified correctly (I'm not sure what to add to the build commands)
* Not ported to OpenGL ES yet (so OpenGL still unavailable)

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Just use maemo-optify-deb and don't wory about extra optification?

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

ruskie, as far as I know maemo-optify-deb only works on the .deb file after it has been built (and it currently also breaks TMW as it turns stuff into symlinks, which TMW doesn't follow, though following symlinks could be turned on of course). To properly optify this package, the optification needs to be part of the build scripts that one uploads to the autobuilder. Ideally I guess TMW needs to be built with the right prefixes.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

How can I start the game?
I downloaded it form the extras-devel and there isn´t a button to start the game in the menu.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

You launch it from the X terminal by typing "tmw".

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Thanks a lot :)

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

wow this looks awesome! hopefully you get it through all the testing etc.. and it ends up on the normal maemo repo so everyone can enjoy it!

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

I'm having problems creating a new Character, so I can't actually start playing :-(

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

rox, playing ever day, show!

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

I guess you mean creating a new account. Unfortunately due to abuse of this feature on server.themanaworld.org, we had to disable registration using the client.

This means that for registering a new account you need to use the web form over here: http://themanaworld.org/registration.php

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

It's all sorted now, thanks, I was meaning creating a new character. :-)

So I love this game lets just say that :-)
We should create a few N900 parties

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Hi Guys,

Do any of you know how to right click?

Secondly I was told there is a patch for the PC version here:
http://tmw.cetki.com/4144/
and on the wiki it says this:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/4144

any chance we can get this implimented for the N900 version.

Also the right click is a must or using a key to pretend to be the right click or we can't add friends etc :-(

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Some of the changes in the 4144 patch have already been accepted in the official git version, which is working to a 1.0 release at the moment. My intention is only to make the necessary changes to support official releases of The Mana World on the N900.

Thanks for pointing out the right-click issue. We probably need to try to map that to click-and-hold.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Thats awesome thanks.

I must say this port is AMAZING.
Yeah if we map it to click and on the fn or ctl key or something that isn't used often that would be awesome

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Hi All,
I am going out of my mind!!! I have downloaded v0.0.29.1 onto my N900 and am very very excited about the game!!!
However, I have been unable to find a server which I can connect to, all I ever get is: Could not connect to host, error message.
I have tried the testing server and the Meways server all with no success.
Please, Please Help!!! The more I look into this game the more promise it seems to hold!!!!!!

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

The most popular and reliable server is currently server.themanaworld.org. However, you can't register through the client on that server, you have to go to http://themanaworld.org/registration.php.

I'm currently working on getting the latest Mana client (from http://manasource.org/) packaged, btw. However, I've hit some keyboard input problem (no key works at all) so I'm not sure when I'll be able to upload it.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

The new server sounds good :)

I am afraid that I have tried server.themanaworld.org on port 6901 time and time again on my phone and it just wont let me in, "Couldnt connect to remote host", it works fine on my PC so I know it's not a problem with the server :confused:
Have other N900 users reported this problem and been able to rectify it? I am able to connect to server.thealternateworld.org, but the most people that have been on at one time was five which doesn't make it the best MMO. I love the gameplay though and am gagging to get in on the main action. If anyone can be of any help at all I would be very grateful!

Cheer Again

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1

i have all of libs from first post.

Anyone Can Help?

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

I just installed this and played it for a couple of min and I think this is really a good game i was surprised. good work porting it to n900.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

Can i make a suggestion?

How about making the proximity sensor (next to front camera) be the right click button? what i mean is, if you hold your finger on the sensor, clicking the screen becomes right clicking instead. This is the easiest solution in my mind :)

Anyways thx for this amazing port. it runs great. :)

Im up for starting some n900 parties ;)

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

unable to pick up gold from monsters? otherwise it look excellent game.

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

I want this on my N900! Thing is, i don't understand a word all you guys are saying! :(

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

you can istall it from the app manager. its called TMW

Re: The Mana World 0.0.28.1
 

For some reason it won't update the game, is there any guide on how to download the data files/updates manually?
