Install

Decompress and put "Halguens" directory into your SD root. If you have any problems to launch the game, do it through "HBmenu" included.

First launch

First time you launch the game, you shall choose the language (Spanish, English or Catalan) and, then, the game will show the game rules, disclaimer and license to accept them. If you don't do it, you won't be able to play.

Login window

Create an account

To create an account, you must type your desired user and pass and press "New". After this, you must type your e-mail to reset your password if you forget it, so be sure to write it correctly or, if it were necessary, you won't recover your account.

You only are able to create three accounts per console, and when you reach that figure you won't be able to create more accounts unless you delete any of the existing ones.

Login from file

To login ou must write your user and pass and press "Login". But, if you don't want to type your user and/or pass each time, you can edit "config.ini" file created after your first boot to add up to three users to write it automatically. You can add only the username, or username and pass, but be aware that anyone could see it.

In this example, "eglomer" user will be loaded with his password "noteladigo", so this user will be able to login directly without type nothing. But "eglomer2" should type his password, but not his username.

To change between file users, you must use the arrows up from "Username" label.

Change language

You can only change the language on this screen, so, if you are playing and want to change the language, you must do a logout and press the flag to do it.

The game

Previous considerations

To move into the game use the bottom menu. When you press it one time, you will activate the icon and, if you press it once again, you will enter into the section marked.

Menu icons sections, in order, are: player, union, war, market, haunt, shot, options, logout, mail, assault, connection.

Connection icon will be activated while our console is transmitting to server, and while it happens, the game will be blocked until it finished.

News window

This screen will show you the last game news while the console downloads your character data.

Top screen

In the top screen you will see a resume of your character (name, status, level, gold, experience, equipment...).

Player – Status

In this section you can train your character status, which are:

• Strength (STR): Affects damage (DM) calculations.
  
• Intelligence (INT): Affects damage (DM) and defense (DF) calculations.
  
• Speed (SPD): Affects damage (DM) and defense (DF) calculations.
  
• Aim (AIM): Affects damage (DM) and defense (DF) calculations.
  
• Atamina (STA): Affects heal points (HP) and defense (DF) calculations.
  
• Vitality (VIT): Affects heal points (HP) calculations.

First time we play, we have 2 hability points to train them, and then we will gain 4 points each level.

When you put some points in some feature, you will see how it affect to heal points, defense and damage and, when you finish, press "Save" button to save changes. If you don't press that button, changes won't be saved.

Player – Equip

In this section we can equip or unequip armors and accessories. When you press in some icon, a new window will show you the info of that object and you can "equip" or "unequip" it.

You will see how each object affect to heal points, defense and damage and, when you finish, press "Save" button to save changes. If you don't press that button, changes won't be saved. You will see the aspect of each object in the top screen, too (except the accessories).

Union – Work

Here we can work to gain some gold. You will see how many gold you will gain when you finish the work ("pay").

While you are working, you can't enter into some sections like "Player", "Union" or "Market", but if you need it, you can leave your work, but you won't gain any gold.

IMPORTANT: You can turn off your console while you are working; work goes on.

Union – Missions

Here you will found missions to do, and with them you will gain gold and experience. If you don't like some mission, you can get another by pressing "Other" button.

Like as work, you can turn off your console while you are on a mission.

War – Attack

In this section you can attack some other people (from the other faction, not yours). You can search and attack randomly ("Blind attack") or attack to some concrete person ("Hunt and attack").

Some important at this point is that you can't attack to someone more than two times per day, but this depends of mail attacks, so we will see it into "Messages - Assault" section.

War – Situation

Here you can see the status of war. You can see how many victories have each faction, their three best warriors ("champions") and your position into your faction's ranking.

To order players it's used a new variable called Rank (RNK), which is calculated by: Victories ("Vict") - Defeats ("Dfat").

Market – Armoury

First section into Armoury show us our objects, so it's normal to view blank spaces or pages in blank, because our objects are shown in a specific order. In the other sections the objects will be downloaded before be shown.

To boy or sell an object, just press it and then, press in "Buy" or "Sell" button. You can see the image of an object before buy it into the top screen.

Market – Guardian

Guardians will be shown into your haunt, and they will help us to avoid attacks when people use the "Blind attack". The higher the level of our guardian, more probabilities we will have to avoid the attack. Guardian element isn't important, so you can choose the guardian that you like, or change it when you're tired of the same.

Another thing to know is that you don't need to buy the first level of some element to get the higher levels; you can buy directly level 2 or 3 if you have gold enough.

The available elements are: water, fire, wind, rock, nature, storm, light and darkness.

Haunt

Just like guardians, our haunt help us to avoid attacks, so it's better to make sure to buy new levels when you can.

Shot

With this icon you can make a dual screenshot. Screenshots will be saved in BMP format into "Screenshot" folder, which is in the game folder.

Options – Options

Here we can change our password or delete our account to create another one (remember that you can only create tree accounts per console).

Options – Credits

All people who has worked or collaborate in the game. Don't forget to drag your Stylus around the screen to view the water effect.

Logout

This icon is used to return to Login window.

Messages - Mail

Here you can receive, read, delete or send messages to other players, even if they are from the other faction.

When you are writting a new message, you can go back and visit other sections with no problems because the message will be saved as draft and you could continue it later.

The game checks new messages every two minutes (connection icon will activate) and, if you have new messages, the mail icon will turn golden.

Messages – Assault

Here you can see the attacks that you have received. If you have a new attack, the ax icon will turn golden and bloody.

Some important that you must know is that, if anybody is attacking you a lot and want to stop it, don't delete his attack messages. With this, when you have two messages of that person, the game won't allow he to attack you until the next day.

Updates

Game check for updates at the beginning and, if there a new version, "Updater.nds" will be downloaded to execute it and update the game.

Frequent error messages

Server error: It's caused by a server error during a connection. If error persists, please, tell us in the forum.

Critical connection error: It occurs when the console loses the Internet connection.

Client/sever mismatch: It occurs when the game data and the server data are mismatched (for example, if in console you see that have 1.000 gold but in server's registry you have 900). Normally the client automatically solve the error but, if it's not possible to fix it, the client would automatically logout you to login again and re-download your character data.
