New RC
 

A new RC version has been released. Download it with the setup.exe from the website.

Changes:
- it uses better password encryption, like the Graal.exe, so that the new password stealer trojans don't work anymore
- fixed the update bug of the playerlist (so that it is sorted each time there is a new PM so that the PM bubbles appear at the top of the window)
- you can customize the look by editing controlconfig.txt (after starting it one time you will see several new entries); you can type /reloadskin to load the options again from controlconfig.txt; you can change the background image, buttons and colors

Awesome stuff Stefan. :)

1337 :D

Very Nice :)

*coughnowfixtheforumscough* ;)

Stefan, marry me.

im having a problem my buttons are black in the back and they become transparant when i put them in the skin. Help? Anyways great work steafn :)

If someone got this working please post your controlconfig.txt because mine won't work. I put the images into the directory that RC is stored in and put the image names in the propper loaction in the controlconfig.txt but that didn't work, I also tried the full path, I also tried converting them to PNG instead of BMP and nothing.. NOTHING! Please help me =(

Are you launching yours from a shortcut? Mine works just fine, but I had moved the folder and just changed the target of the shortcut. If you don't change the "Start in" folder, it won't look in the right folder for the controlconfig/images apparently.

Btw, Stefan, it's REALLY annoying how nothing you make saves the window position. Could you make it save for once? :P

did you say /reloadskin?

IM having trouble as well.

I put all the image locations correctly and the images wont show.
Also when i reconnect to rc after putting in the images the colors that i set change and wont go back.. Even with /reloadskin.

I sappose with everything there will be bugs.....

make it so we can change fonts, and the transparent colours of the buttons PLEASE.

And while you're at it make me lunch. Also it'd be nice if we could make the window transparent, tho I don't know how well that would work on linux... if this RC is for linux also

That's not necessary when it first starts.

That's really the color of the button itself... you're simply placing an image on it which has transparent regions (RGB 255,0,255).

It's not, this is just the Windows version that has always existed.

OMG! LOVES GRAAL MORE...Now if you can just release the v3 with RC in it =p

Edit: Anyone wanna post some resource images? ::cough:: azuretek23 ::cough::

...as if he's the only one capable of posting them. :P

Here I will post here so it shows it as newly replied! People need to see this.

x.x that's not what I meant. I wanted the skin that he made, it's really nice...everyone should check it out, he attached an unfinished copy somewhere on the forum.

Oh, haha. Well, I'm sure some people want those that I posted anyway.

Linux has no problems with transparent windows. :)

You're right, it doesn't - but I assumed that if the RC was for both Windows and Linux then perhaps they would use different stuff to make the transparencies. (Unless it's in C++)

Fix the forums now. ^^

anyways screenshot of my new RC
going to work on the backround more and buttons tomorrow :)

*looks at pic*

Whoa brightness galore

The first pixel of the bmp (lower left corner) is used for transparency I think, if you don't want to have a transparent corner then just add a line at the bottom

I'm confused.. setup.exe? Where is that on the site? -.-

On
http://www.graalonline.com/downloads/index.php
you can download the setup.exe for Windows which then installs or updates the game.

Are you talking about the buttons? I'm confused... surely you know why their corners are transparent if that's what you're talking about.

Im still having trouble with getting the buttons to work without it changing my set colors ;/

He's talking about the button images. The pixel in the very top left is the pixel that determines the color used for transparency. Meaning if the first pixel is blue, then any other pixel that is also blue is going to be transparent. Although I don't know what hes talking about when he says add a line at the bottom...=\ Also I tried the transparency thing, but it just becomes Green x.x is that suppose to happen?

Oh, he's right, I thought it worked differently.

It turns green when you use a transparent region because the button underneath the image is green. The only way to change that is to use a resource modifier... like ResHack.

nice

can you work on 3.0+

I really want this to be finished ASAP.

Oh ah sorry, it seems the button is not transparent, I probably forgot to set the transparent attribute to true. So just make it a 32x32 block

Its ok XD......Youve done alot of great work as it is ;o

Stefan, maybe you can release a new version of Graal v3 with the RC in it now. At least maybe for VIPs, because since I've gotten VIP, I havent seen any of the features that it was promised, like beta-testing and etc. So release it =p

Looks good and everything but, I don't understand how to set it up for something such as a different background?
It has the background= What should you put after that? :o

Yes, please give us access to 3.1 before everyone else so we can torture them. :)

The filename of a jpeg image

...and for anyone wondering, the size of the default image is 530x160. It doesn't really matter though, the image will be resized to fit in the area. (However, resizing it in an imaging program usually gives better results, so that's where the default image size comes in.)

Well I tried the filename and get nothing. Tried the destination folder along with the filename get nothing. Maybe a better explanation or what it is im doing wrong? :)

AIM me Blitz, and I'll help.
