Global Heads

Who maintains these?

(To be frank: I'm looking to get head893.gif removed (It is an invisible head).)

I've heard conflicting stories, but one points to them coming from classic.

Are all the servers even linked up to it anymore?
hmm.. there should be a server option to disable it anyway.

It doesn't exist anymore, to a certain extent. There is a folder linked on the classic server to the 'global' heads, swords, and shields. However, it is only global to the servers that share the same computer as classic.

So is there a command for serverops like;
globalheads=false

... or something?

I believe PsYcHo RaYmOnD, from Graal The Adventure, maintains the global heads.

I thought Zen handled that but er anyway...who-ever is doing it is doing a pretty lousy job...there's a million and one global heads,shield, etc that should be removed for copy-right reasons >_>

ROFL! Highly incorrect. He never even managed that folder at all. Only local head images. ...not that he's still in commission as of now.

...and WTF, are you guys saying the heads on Classic are shared between all GServers running on the same computer as Classic's GServer? If that's the case, I have access to the folder.

Try putting a head on it then going on N-Pulse and try it on ;o

In fact, I just did, except with Unholy Nation. I went on UN, set my head to head893.gif. It worked. I went on Classic RC, removed that head from the folder, tried it on UN again, and poof, no head. I readded it btw. I'm not exactly sure if I should be removing heads from this folder in the first place, so... I'm not going to until I find out from Tyhm.

You need to calm down bud.

Anyway, there should be head/shield/sword/body thing on the website again, so the Graal Admins can edit the global ones. Then on each server you can have your local ones.

Also, you should be able to make globalheads true/false on your server, because I know on some servers they have it scripted so you can only have certian heads, but it would be nicer if you didn't have to script it.

Well, Tyhm gave me the ok to remove head893.gif, so... I did. I hope you're happy now. :P

Personally I believe PW local heads shouldn't even exist ._. It just makes the PWA and GGT job harder and I don't see why having it uploaded globally would be a problem.

Having it uploaded globally would save space, but then again some team of people would have to go through all those heads to make sure that the transparency and what not is set correctly, of course given the fact that they actually want to check it. It could take days before a particular head is actually uploaded.

Well Jagen did say they have to be on the same local computer. I believe Graal2001, Kindoms, Classic, and UN are on the same computer; of course I could be mistaken.
