Yeah. The original implementation used pure GS2, but I wasn't happy with performance and didn't want the NPCServer to suffer.

Unfortunately, the light only collides with tiles because of this; I couldn't trust appending 512x512 bytes of GET data to get a half-res collision map, so I simply did 4096 bytes; the tile map. If you could enable POST on Testbed, though, instantly solved!

With a release, I'd like to host a central, PHP-powered hub for lightmap generation. Might as well go the extra mile; V6 isn't seeing a release soon and I need the requestfilefromblahblahblah function before release..

Also, is there a way to add more GUIControl elements to the scripted RC? Having access to this simply by opening scripted RC and having a simple weapon script that a server manager could install as a sort of "plugin" would be awesome.

Actually a really good idea to use a webserver to generate things like this. You should also release the PHP code so people can put it on their own webserver so you don't have all that stress on whatever server you're using.

Of course. I'm pro-open source; for the most part.

Did it work client-side?

Also the plugin thing: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=87384

Of course, but the speed wasn't even comprable to what I ended up doing with the PHP server, and the client would be essentially immobilized until the rendering was done.

Might've been because I was using those panel display things; I could always try just writing the PNG information directly from an array, but then the max loop limit still comes into play, and I feel the PHP server is the most elegant solution.

Good man ;)
If you're still looking for some performance improvements, and you're familiar with Python, the Python Imaging Library should be much faster than GD (PIL is written in C). If not, I hear imagemagick is faster than GD.

I'll port it to Python when I get ungrounded :< I'm on my phone.

For increasing the loop limit there is obj.maxlooplimit, for using TSockets you need to contact me for enabling them on your server (need the host/ip and port range).

I never understood how to change the loop limit, never worked for me. Post an example, maybe?

Just set the variable in onCreated? this.maxlooplimit = 100000; or so, default is 10000

Makes me think of this:

Yea, I tried that before. That didn't seem to work, still got the error.

Incredible. Props!

It works for me, but sometimes you have to let it "update". If you set it, then run the script again (or add a sleep after setting it) it tends to work.

Thanks for that hint, I'll give it a try later.
