This article is for reference purpose

The features described in this article are already implemented in the game. The article should describe how a certain aspect of the game currently works. You may of course edit this article to improve the description of the circumstances. Your opinions or improvement suggestions about the described aspects themself are of course appreciated, too. But please put these on the discussion page of this article to keep facts and fiction separated.


This section describes the configuration options of The Mana World. Most of these options can be edited in-game. You can find them in the config.xml file. On Linux and MacOS X, this file is stored at ~/.tmw/config.xml.

General options

  • OverlayDetail: Ambient FX level (0 for off, 1 for single layer, 2 for all layers).
  • ScrollLaziness: Smoothnes of acceleration and deacceleration of scrolling.
