Graal v4 Bugs - For Stefan/testers
 

Note: v4 can't be downloaded yet.
Testers: Please post any bugs you find here, and I will update the original post.

Bugs list last updated August 30, 23:45 EST

Most current version is 4.0.1.2

(!) = needs to be tested in newest version
(?) = needs to be verified by other testers

Minor:
- changeimgpart no longer works for text
EX: N-Pulse, weapon ctest2
- If you connect to one server, then to Graal Kingdoms, you will have your head from the old server on the minimap

- Reminder: When pressing F8: "Hmmm it is recreating the serverlist and stuff, need to make it go back into non-maximized mode when the window width and height is set by script, like it does with the minimized mode."

- Graal plays a male voice even when the player is female

- When Graal isn't focused, set playerpaused clientside

- When reading PMs:
If \ is in a message, it is converted to \\\\ in history
If \ is in a multi-word message, it is converted to " in history

- On Graal Kingdoms, if you click one item in the inventory and quickly click on another, it is registered as a double click on the second item

- Chat text and nicknames of the characters on Kingdoms start island intro does not show. It may be a GS2 server-only problem
This could be two problems: 1) It isn't properly reading the client.strings that contain the chat text of the characters (I changed the chat of one of the characters to a static 'testing' and it worked). 2) The client. strings aren't being set

Medium:
- (!) Holding a button and switching to another application causes Graal to keep triggering that key (like firing a weapon)

- Ghosts cannot switch servers (nothing happens when clicking connect/double clicking a server)

- Pressing Escape or holding the scrollbar on the playerlist makes the client freeze, so people can avoid being hit more than once

- Problem with fullscreen windows: Open two Graal4 instances, press ALT+ENTER on one of them, then press ALT+TAB to open the other. The instance you try to open is only a blank window

Major/crash:
- Using WinXP, if you lock the computer while the playerlist is opened (windows key + L), an errors occurs: "A Win32 API function failed"

Not directly related to v4:
- Type "warpto blah blah" and you will be warped to 0 0

- Horses can get stuck on beds when hit (happens in v2 too)
EX: #gscript, cheetos_leveltest.nw. Get a horse, stand on the left side of the bed, and get the baddies to hit you from the left

Minor feature requests:
- Make admin message text selectable

- Move the "Don't Save Password" option under the password field so it is more obvious

- Add CTRL+Arrow (move between words) & CTRL+Shift+Arrow (select word) key combinations

- Show if a user is an RC or a player on the global playerlist

Fixed:
- Hopefully fixed reading and writing into the registry so its not crashing anymore when pressing offline test/start

- The program starts correctly on windows98 (was crashing on windows98 because of the bitmap font initialization stuff)

- Fixed the lines position, they were displayed one pixel too far to the left and top

- Errors occur when text is at a certain zoomfactor (differs depending on font/style). I assume something breaks when it is switching between drawing methods
EX: N-Pulse, cheetos_bulldog.nw

- If you deselect all users on the playerlist, the map will still display the nickname of the last selected user instead of yourself

- When viewing your own profile, only a gray box is shown instead of your head icon

- Client crashes when clicking Start/Offline test if your nickname contains a guild tag

- Offline PMs are displayed on the minimap

- Stored passwords are compatible with v2

- "&" is not displayed correctly in admin messages (it is being seen as a shortcut key, like S&ervers = Servers)

- Set player to paused when Graal isn't focused, and set playerpaused serverside

- Some clientside 2x2 tile changes by script aren't sent to the server (bushes, pots, etc DO work) (tested with shovel on Graal2001)

Minor Feature Requests:
- There is now a 'warpto' option when right clicking on players in the playerlist
- Change "Admins" on the playerlist to "Staff"

See this post and this post for older fixes.

If you right click the profile of a player, and then click "Close" it will close, and then within half a second it will open again.

Verified, it happens if you close it before it gets the information from the server (if it is happening to you often, then you're probably lagging).

I wouldn't call this a bug. I prefer it do this. Sometimes my profiles lag and I get tired of waiting so I close the window. If it pops back up then I'm glad. o.o

If this is not a bug then this is one -> If you click the button to get on someones homepage then the site won't open.

Well, it was considered a bug in v2 as it has been fixed after quite a while.
I, for one, didn't like it very much, so an option for that would be useful.

Perhaps just have the box show after it's downloaded the profile data?

I have made the text green where I think it has been fixed in the new version

Seems good to me :cool:

I've had the client close unexpectedly (no error message) several times when clicking/using the scroll bar on the playerlist.. haven't been able to recreate it however.

another bug in v4: showpoly doesn't seem to work

It's the hack protection that isn't working right. Stefan is working on fixing it.

I wanna test :O. Is it cool/better then Graal3

Also, Graal3 was like..just officially released and its bugged to hell. Wouldn't you wanna fix Graal3 before working on Graal4? I can list millions * 3 bugs. Also, most hacks don't work anymore on V2 because the process changes by adding spaces in front so unless someone is smart enough to detect the process that has spaces in front of it, they won't work. (They = Trainers)

So, basically if you would want to speed/wall etc.. then you would have to use Artmoney or other Value Editing programs. So just make graal detect if their open and if they are, make Graal shutdown, or end the task of artmoney etc..

Because V4 is already being worked on, it suggests to me that v3 is being scrapped. Unless of course there is something new and major being implemented to V4 that couldn't be added to the current V2/3?

Graal v3 and v4 use the same code base for levels, scripting etc. So everything that is fixed for v4 will also improve the versions for Linux and Mac.

Ok Added another bug (when switching servers you are not disconnected from the old server, yes I know it's a weird bug). The playerlist problems have to do with threading, the playerlist is updated at the same time when the players are added or removed from the list, will try to fix it similar to the F7 crash fix.

I'll pay ya 10.00$ to test v4 ;-P


I don't think their is anything that can never be added, if something can't be added then they add stuff to make it work? Right?

On which server? Haven't got reports about that yes. On Zone when you press E or grab the help terminal, do you see a transparent rectangle or just text on normal background (screenshot) ?

So what about 10.00$ for V4 testing ;-P.

I see the transparent rectangle.

- Ignore feature doesn't work

Would it be possible to turn off the time limit to edit posts? I can't update the main post anymore (1440 minutes passed).

Ok made you Moderator :)

Hey Stefan, can you look at my other posts. I think it's like a script bug or my server.

http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=58763



Should have forum pmed and all, ill delete posts when you help with situation or atleast read this post ;O

Ah, so thats how its done! Easier than I thought. :-P

I suggested this back when V3 was being developed, but it was never done. Perhaps now that V4 is being worked on you will do it.

It would be nice if the Graal client stored the size of the dialogue and the location of it on the screen so one didn't have to adjust it each time.

Of which window, all windows (main window, options, playerlist) ?

I mostly meant the Main window and playerlist, but perhaps other people could suggest more windows?

For bug reports: please also give me the location (server, level name) so that I can easily test it

Chests aren't displaying properly: start.graal on N-pulse

I log on Unholy Nation, open player list, log onto N-Pulse and my computer crashs.

With the latest version?

About the PM history problem: may be it should display a fixed number of lines, e.g. 1000, instead of displaying the last 50 messages ?

I was going to say that sounds fine, but I checked again, and it is crashing for not very many PMs in history at all (anything that has a scrollbar, it seems). It isn't happening to HoudiniMan though (he is using WinXP).

Also, the problems HoudiniMan and osrs are having do not happen to me (Win2k).

And it is ok in v2 ?

Yes sir, the one you uploaded on debug today. I am on win98 anyway.

Yes.

When you initially open the playerlist the focus is in the Status: box, so if you're trying to use the keyboard to navigate the list (like many do) you have to click in the list of people BEFORE you can navigate it.

It isn't necessarily a bug, but it is inconsistent with v2 and I like the other way better. I use the playerlist much more often than i change my status.

Yes will be fixed.
The problems with tiles in the latest version is probably happening because I modified the tiles stuff to enable tiletype(x,y) on all tilesets, will fix it soon.

Window memory?

when i put a blue soldier baddy in a lvl,
than it turns online with v4 in a grey soldier with x = 0.
with v2 it works without problems ....

I noticed that too, wasn't sure if it was the client or not; the baddies are put in to random spots and some end up at x or y=0.

hmmm ..... when i press TAB in v4 to chat, and i want to close the chat bar, i need to press TAB again. in V2 i like it to klick in the game window. when i do it in v4 the chat bar is still open and i need to press TAB 2 times. maybe its good when the chat bar is closing to when klickpointY < chatbarY ?

there is still no refresh when i enter a lvl with a new tilset that the client needs to load from server ......
