Heres what i have achieved so far. It is currently a BETA video. So please, comment.

Can anyone also tell me how to embed this into the server?

Is there really no way to make a video appear on Graal?
I mean if I have to I could save it as... I don't know.. 2400 pictures assuming I have a two minute video, then create it my self as a video via scripting.. But I'd think there would be another way.

I'd like to have a 3D preview for the upcoming server, to give an idea of what they would be doing... to promote the server. Possibly even cut-scenes..

Is the answer really no? Possibly implement it in the future?

You can display Flash videos but I don't believe that's working in the latest V6, so personally I would avoid having that as a dependency.

I would really hate to have to download a large video just to see what a Graal server would be like.

D: I was thinking of having a small preview of guy chopping a tree, guy mining, guy walking to a cave, then having the title come on.. I mean I just made this up but it would be probably around 30 seconds lol.. just a small interesting skit for the starters.

Would they be able to make something read a url to show video in the future? People could have a youtube video, and a ?gui window? could pop up and show the url video.. I'm unsure how it would be made..

Either way, I can definitely skip it, I just remembered this thread yesterday and had the idea.

Thanks ^.^

Cool, but, uh, I would rather see shards of rock and ash in a Graal level than just the words.

As far as the writing goes... It's interesting, but I think it would be better if all verses, save the last, had the same number of syllables. It goes smoothly in my head, but sometimes the reading feels a tad bit bumpy. And it's a little awkward. (I think there's an average of 8 syllables per verse, and that feels right.) But other than that good job.

1. Use a script (zooming text is not hard) instead of a YouTube movie. Adam made a script for this kind of scenario: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...hp?t=134260336
2. Don't waste too much time on an intro, most people will probably skip it.
3. It's funner to interact than to watch. The last thing people want is to be bored to death by cliches before they even get to play the server.

I agree with MattKan, having just text is kind of boring.. reminded me of the Ken-Burns effect used on slide shows too.. kinda gave me a headache lol.. I was kinda expecting some sort of scenes..

With that said, some of the text went too fast to read.. you should pretend it is the first time you are seeing the text to see how long it takes to read it and keep it up.. that and the fact that a lot of the community are kids and may not read that fast.


I also agree with fowlplay4, while you can script that easily, it also isn't too fun.. I don't really watch intros.. Classics was pretty darn good though.. then again it had mainly visual.. I am also a visual learner.. But if it is only an into, it isn't too bad. Just don't do a menu like Malorias start up.. I hate seeing that on entrance, I already have to go through two menus to get to the server lol..
