Roadmap on Mantis

Our roadmap is managed using Mantis. Please see http://mantis.themanaworld.org/roadmap_page.php.

0.0.x releases have got low priority. All developers should concentrate on 0.1.0 release.

Some possibly outdated roadmap entries

These generally need to be checked against out Mantis database.

TMW 0.1.x

• Improve equipment window (delayed until we have our own equipment set, handled by the new server).
• Add private chat.
• Add buddy list (delayed until here for things like private messaging and online status to be implemented, which would actually make this thing useful, can be moved back if it becomes useful sooner).

General future goals

These goals can be inserted into the release plan of any upcoming release, preferably when it's reasonable to expect them to be implemented.

Graphics

• [0000021] Support an arbitrary number of layers per map. There will always need to be exactly one fringe layer (maybe rename to objects layer) and one obstacle layer. --Bjørn 16:15, 24 December 2005 (CET)
• Improve current tilesets
• Animated effects

Core Dev

• Setup window improvements:
  • Make the setup window accessible since the first login window.
  • Make keys configurable (see quard's contribution).
  • Reset to Defaults for important values: Update host, World Server, Gui config, Keys (with key configuration)
• Allow automatic ordering of inventory. For example grouping by type or sorting by name, weight or value.

Playability

• Improve Battles a little bit by making the character walk to the monster before attacking it when clicking on it.
