StendhalManual: Difference between revisions

To control stendhal you need to use mouse and keyboard.

Launch Stendhal by using [http://arianne.sourceforge.net/jws/stendhal.jnlp Java webstart] or by running stendhal-0.XX.jar file.

Click on <b>Login to Stendhal</b> button and fill the data.<br>

Be sure to choose the server where you created your account and finally click on Login to Server.<br>

A progress bar will appear and soon you will be connected to world game.

If the server is not online you will get a error message explaining that, so you either try later or create a new account on another server.

===Move===

Use arrows to move around the Map.

You must press the arrow long enough for the character to move. Your character will collide with elements that exists on the world, like other players and walls.

You also collides with map borders. When you reach a map border your screen won't move further and then can happen two things:

* if an area exists to move from this zone to the new area, you will be traslated to the new area.

* if no area exists nothing will happen and simply you will collide.

Signs may help you determining this.

===Face===

When attacking someone or talking to someone it is a nice thing to face them, so press Ctrl and arrow to face in that direction.

It is just a eye candy action as it has no effect on game rules.

=== Other actions ===

Use right mouse button over objects to see the contextual menu and use left mouse button to choose the action

You can click outside to abort the contextual menu.

===Exit===

Press ESC to exit. You will be prompted again to either really quit or get back to game.

===Open Game Dialog log===

In case you closed the game dialog you can open it again with Ctrl+L

This dialog contains all the important events that happen in game so it is wise to have it visible.

To communicate with other players simply write. A chat bubble will appear under your character and a new line will appear on Game log dialog. This kind of communication is public and visible to every player in world, although you will see only text for players near you.

Alternatively you can write

/tell player chat Content

To write to a single character anything you want. For example:

/tell miguel This game rules, really. I have rated it 10/10 :)
