Ships have been updated!
 

Hi everyone,

I just want to make a post to inform you all of Ziro's new update to the boat system on Graal Kingdoms. First of all a big thank you for all his hard work on this as we all know it has been somewhat of a dance getting on ships and in general they were not the best to deal with but that has all changed! :D

Here are some of the features posted by Ziro himself, in my opinion the steering is much smoother and more responsive when coupled with the new acceleration, also the health of your ship is permanently shown. Oh there is unlimited ammo for the time being too so test out those cannons!

• To get on a ship, it's enough to swim under it, As long as your movement keys are pressed, you'll board the ship.
• There's no more buttons to leave the ship and whatnot. Every ship action is interactive. Grab the ladder to leave the ship, grab the ladder sides to pull it up/down, grab the walls to repair.
• When a ship gets destroyed, it now kills it's entire crew. Beware!
• Docking is a bit easier, It now "snaps" in place a lot easier.
• The inside level is randomized upon ship creation. It can currently be one out of six different templates.
• When travelling from one island to another, you're no longer sent into the ship. Instead, you remain exactly in the same place on the ship as you were beforehand.
• Logging out and logging back in when boarded on a ship will now simply reattach you to the ship, assuming it still exists.
  

A lot of bugs should also have been eliminated from the old version of the ships, not to mention the code is much more efficient and easy to work with since it's updated from GS1 to GS2.[/SIZE]

Great job :)

I smell ship wars soon!

Just one thing... I seem to fall off of ferry boats now every time they're in transit and I go from the hold to the deck. It's kind of a problem, since coming out of the hold at the wrong time will drop you into deep water, which rocket propels you to god knows where.

Other than that, though, glad to hear this is finally being addressed. :D

Ziro fixed the ferry problem straight after he got back on, should be good now. :)
