We found out the reason: it's when you resize often, the problem is with the option "relative" for horizSizing or vertSizing of GuiControls. Since it needs to round the values for the width and height, it goes off after some resizing operations. Will change it to "width" for now in the chatbar script.

Gawd, sorry, I only remembered that problem when seeing it again (world_e06.nw, the time format and GMT) and got it wrong, the problem isn't with floats but that floats have an accuracy of 0.5 there, so only values like 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, etc can be used, not 0.7, 0.3 and so on. Works fine in v2 though.

In PMs, things like "<3" don't work, since Graal 4 parses it as a HTML tag. Perhaps it should detect only HTML tags that are closed with ">"?

Edit 1: Apparently this happens in Graal 2, aswell. Can something be done about it?

Edit 2: See the attachment - is this normal?

Hmmm you could define a smilie for it (levels/smilies/smiliesdef.txt). Question is if Graal should only allow special tags in PMs and display the others as plain text like in GuiMLTextCtrls.

There seem to be some problem with players on the chatters list which shouldn't appear there, will need to fix that.

This would be a good idea. Limit the tags to stuff like <b>,<i>,<u>,<font> and stuff like that. Would keep people from using javascript to crash clients.

Is triggerserver() still broken?

It is for Graal3d servers, if I remember correctly. Triggerclient was added by request of Ajira; I don't remember the reasoning for not having triggerserver.

It's always been that way, but yes, limiting to known tags would be nice.

After .30 and .31...
- Start v4, connect to the serverlist, join two channels, select the channel you joined first, select the Servers tab, connect to a server, open the serverlist, select the Chat tab, say something without selecting another channel -> It goes to the second channel even though the first one was selected

- What about a dropdown list for the direct connect field that remembers the last 5 servers like in v2?

- v4 is still eating too much CPU time and is too slow in general. For example the GUI (not too bad, but still a bit annoying), and especially lots of showtext() text.

New additions in .31:
- Multiline text control scrolling added

- Added several new stuff to GuiScrollControl

- You can set scrolllinex and scrollliney for controls now
(specifies how much the scroll control is scrolled when you click on the arrows, you need to set it in the subcontrol)

- There is also a showtop() function which is a combination of show(), bringtofront(), and tabfirst()
(tabfirst() is focussing the first edit control)

- Added ctrl.globaltolocalcoord({x,y}) and ctrl.localtoglobalcoord({x,y})
(Converts coordinates for gui controls from screenx/y to x/y in terms of the guictrl)

- showpolys can be used inside controls now with GuiShowImgCtrl

Uh... reconnecting seemed to correct the space I stood in, but outside that level everything messed up again...

Updated to .31, now constantly black... server: Exiled Tribes

Resizing the window makes things freaky. Second attachment.

Feature request: Closing dialogs (such as F5 dialog) with Alt+F4 or escape, or something!

Alt+F4 currently closes the whole client... both Alt+F4 and escape should close a dialog like that.

Alt+F4 is like an 'emergency' escape. It's usually supposed to close the program instantly.

Should be added...

Alt+F4 is a shortcut for "close the window in focus" - i think dialogs stealing focus within the game should be closed before the game itself.

And nice sig (though I am confused by it a little..?) :)

When doing this: OSL_MLText.setLines(client.temp-rules);
I get access violations until I End Task the client.
Works fine when using _ instead of -.

Maloria Dev, onlinestartlocal.nw/onlinestartlocal2.nw, class: osl

ok will test that. If you use - then it is a subtraction and it will try to add a number/empty array to the multiline control, it shouldn't crash though.

Sometimes when I connect to other servers and try to connect to debug, It won't let me but it lets me connect to every other server.

Yes, debug just needs to be updated/restarted.
vv Oh >_<

No, the other servers need to be restarted ;)

Hmm, stefan. I have a couple of quests for you:

1) When is the release of V4?


2) Scripting in GS2 clientside with V3. Does it work efficiently? If I script in V3, will they work properly in V4?


3) Are you accepting any more Graal3D servers? If so, can I get my PW into a G3D Server?


4) Can you clean out all these junk folders on my server. We really need to be able to delete folders.


:-)

Another major bug: playlooped crashes v4 within just a few seconds.

another minor bug: lit lamps don't light up dark houses, though torches do.

What version do you have calani? I think this was fixed many versions ago.

Man someone give me access to this beta test.

[email protected]

thanks

You need to have 4 lamps to light up a house, it's not a bug :)

The lighting system has been perfected..its MANDATORY to have lights for whole place to light up? :O

If so..thats awsuem, but a lot of places will be dark lol.


Anyway, answer my questions plz...

Sometimes the serverlist has problems resizing. I have a screenshot, but I'm not sure if I would be allowed to post it.

Yeah, I also noticed that, the size of the server list or the channel list is incorrect after resizing a bit.

Works for me?

I only see them staring at me :(

I can see the say2s and such from other characters, but not the chat of the characters from the gani movie.

Maybe their hungry for some fish?

It doesn't show here too, sometimes, I remember the last part of it showing one time, but that's it.

4.0.0.33

When logging on to a server and reopening the serverlist, the Updates tab is empty

Might be intentional? Stefan mentioned servers being able to use the update stuff

Yes, the default downloads are only available on the Login server, while playerworlds can make their own download packages. I will make it so that the Update-tab is hidden if the playerworld doesn't provide any download package.

Perhaps you could do this with the playerlist on the Login server, too. Only allow the global playerlist sections of the playerlist if you're going to disable the playerlist on the login server.

Personally, I think it would be nice to keep the regular playerlist enabled on the login server.

4.0.0.33

If you update a GUI script while the GUI is minimized, the titlebar pops back up full size, but transparent. The rest of the gui is hidden. (See attachment).

v4.0.0.34 users:
If the client crashes when you click start, deleting some registry entries will fix it.
NOTE: If you're not comfortable with editing the registry, don't try it!
After doing this, you will need to re-enter your account name(s) and password(s)
1) Start>Run>regedit

2) Edit>Find>Graal
3) Open the Graal 'folder'
4) Right click on the Client 'folder' and click delete (or if you know what you are doing and don't mind, delete one key at a time to find out which one is making it crash)
5) Try running Graal4.exe

If that fixes it, PLEASE post here and say so. If it doesn't fix it, delete the RemoteControl 'folder' in the registry too, then post saying that fixed it (if it did)

clearing registry stuff worked (just client I think)
