New Ideas (Please Read)
 

Well, I know I wont benefit much from it, but Im sure that it would be a great thing for P2P servers.
But here is(are) my idea(s):

Since NPC-Server manages guilds, I think it would be good if there was something on rc or npc-controll that allowed you to edit/add/remove staff.
Like change their type of staff, add/remove staff guild, add/remove staff. It could be an option on rc or npc-controll.
I dont know exactly how it would be set up, but I leave that stuff to Stefan. I just keep the ideas flowing.

Also I had another idea.

Since we have changeimgpart changeimgvis setcoloreffect and all that stuff, I think we should have:
setrotateeffect degrees
Which you should be able to figure out yourself. What it does, but if you cant... :rolleyes: Then I will explain.
It rotates the graphic that is set to the npc the given degrees, you can also add setimgrotateeffect index,degrees for images displayed with show image.

Well Thats all for now, I think I got that right (I hope I got the bold and italic right) :p
Tell me what you think if you get a chance.

actually the setrotation index,0-359; was my idea, so thhbbbbbt, ask kaimetsu, this was my idea

since he had idea you get a big fat NO I DONT LIEK UR IDEA .. actually i do but he got the idea first so u have to pay him a dollar cuz u stole his idea and he sues u for 3 dollars if u dont pay him his first dollar^_^

Actually that ida has been thought of at least 50000 times by now.

Yes rotating and displaying 3D objects and such stuff
would be simple to make, the only problem
is that people could use it for more than just
graphical things (like lights) so people which cannot
see the 3D effects would be unhappy,

or the npc would just not rotate which wouldn't
be good if you make something like a cannon.

it would be more time consuming to script, but you could use the lighteffectsenabled flag and script stuff for both sides...

Cannon's almost anything can be made better with rotation effect.
You can even make a compass if you want ;o]

You could easily make one now but it would be so much simpler with ratation's.

And about the index thing, I didnt say I came up with it, I just said that in order to do setimgrotateeffect you would need to specify the image index.

Yes, nice idea.

Re: New Ideas (Please Read)
 

that is a good idea... it would be nice if you could just do it right in the npc (like you said in the first one)...

and something like that would be nice in the
graal shop (place you make ganis).
because then you only need like 1 picture of like an axe swinging instead of like 3 (that is for an example)

Yes but you see, when you do that
then 50% of the people will not see the axe,
or will not see the compass

Yeah thats true but either way its a very good thing to have, and with light effects, 50% of people dont see them now anyways so its fine if they dont see the rotation, and also it might force them to go get a 3d card.
;)

There are no functions for rotating images
The main problem is that the new image
needs more memory and so its not really
usefull in normal situations. It would be possible
to write a function that rotates images
(I have written functions for that ages ago),
but I will not add it because it isn't needed
in many situtations yet, and would be very easy
to make with 3D functions, so I better wait till
we can use the 3D stuff for more people

THANK YOU!

What about the staff list on rc or npc-controll?

I believe that there are like 4 other threads about this.

mmmm
 

Why have that in the game WC?
If a hacker exploits a way to addthemselfs into the RC / NC or GPIP list thorught graal, Youve just given him a doorway...

Nice Concept but usless in my eyes becuase you can already do this on FTP and its much safer.
