Doesn't the XP tools work on Vista? :O

I dont have that problem.. but whenever updateboard() is called, it causes very strange graphical errors.

Are you using the 32-bit version of Vista?

And does anyone who uses the 32-bit version get errors when trying to read PMs?

RC2 works (except for freezing while it connects to the npcserver), RC1 has problems displaying text. Graalshop works, and I haven't tested the level editor.

Expanding on this a bit.. if I check history of someone before I PM, I can then open and reply to and PM, but only after I've opened some random history x_x

Ok dokey
Please everyone who has Vista try following:
Rename Graal4.exe to a filename with at least 9 characters before the dot (e.g. Graal4bla.exe) and then start it and try to open the PMs.

I open Graal, and that error won't disappear.

I can't retrieve my password from my email account because the server is too busy, so I'll try the PM's later.

If I change Graal to GraalBlah.exe, I do not receive that error anymore.

Devil 02-16-2007 02:22 AM

Double post, sorry.

Everything seems to be working fine, the .exe is named GraalBlah.exe, PM's work perfectly.

I'm running Vista Ultimate.

Admins 02-16-2007 03:39 AM

Interesting :D Will try to find a way to run Graal fine without that "hack" though.

Devil 02-16-2007 03:40 AM

Yeah that's cool, everything is perfect :D

Happy to help.

CheeToS2 02-16-2007 06:09 AM

May I ask why it does that? :P Seems interesting.

It works if I disable HTML (freezes if it's turned on, but no error). I noticed if I rename it back to Graal4 it still works.

Rufus 02-16-2007 05:34 PM

Yeah, renaming works fine but I'm unable to download things like the level editor, RC, so I'm guessing "Upgrade packages" doesn't work. Oh and graphics aren't saving either x_x

This didn't work for me :frown:

Vista is caching the programs so it will work even if you delete some files, but the cache is probably cleared after some minutes/hours. That feature was existing in Mac OSX for a long time, although I don't really like it (Vista often displays multiple versions of the same folder when I rename it x-x)

About player list: in the next Graal version it will be optionable to use in-game player list (scripted playerlist) and in-game PMs. On Vista it will use in-game PMs by default.

About saving files: Vista is shading the Graal folder into the users AppData folder if you install it in Program Files as administrator and then start it as user, normally that should work fine. If there are problems with that then better install it into a folder which is writable for you. Eventually Graal could also use a separate user folder for downloaded files like it is doing on Linux/Mac (will be optionable).

I've gotten graal working just by taking away the 4 in the name, but get other odd problems while running it. For example, the Kingdoms menu glitches up and looks like static, the login menu turns partially black, etc. Haven't experienced the PM bug yet.

I will report bugs here as I find them. As of right now, though, I'm trying to find proper sound drivers.

It was not starting at all before? The screenshot looks like there are no graphics / couldn't download or save them.
