: Stendhal is an RPG which is very much ''in development.'' For now we have a simple RP system but there have been ideas floating around of a much more advanced one. See for example [[StendhalRPProposal]]. Now, with such an RP the old stats would need re-writing in terms of the new stats, perhaps with some sort of formula. And let say new players were choosing a class and race when they create an account, what do we do about already created accounts? We would need some solution. Also older players may have a massive advantage over new players. So, simplest, would just be to reset the database and start again. BUT none of these ideas have been coded yet and EVEN IF they were, there may be a way to deal with it so that we DON'T need to reset database. Some kind of formula for example. It is all 'ifs' and 'buts'. There was a forum topic on it, started in March 2007, when developing a new RP seemed like it was going to come a lot sooner ... a new RP did not surface (lack of time from developers, other important bugs to fix instead, etc) but you may like to read the discussion out of interest. It is here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1695999&forum_id=3190 |

; How do I play under Linux? |
|||
: Linux requires Java and GTK to be installed. Under Ubuntu, try <code>sudo aptitude install libgtk-java</code> and say 'yes' to all the dependencies that apt wants to install. After that is complete, you should be able to start Stendhal with <code>java -jar stendhal-0.xx.jar</code> |
