GServer

[mastervampire]

I know there's a lot of buisness reason why this is a bad idea, but we should get GServer back in the next update, the way I see it there would be a lot less people trying to get test servers online before they have any decent levels if they could just test the stuff out themselves in an online format. Especially with the NPC commands, though i have no idea how you could possibly make NPC server stuff work in gserver, but hell, if it can be done I say try!

i think the main reason a new Gserver isnt released anymore is due to the p2p aspects of it. If Mr. Knorr did that, then he'd lose all value of graal what so ever. Everyone could have their own server using p2p commands and everything. Graal would go bank rupt.

[screen_name says:]

then stefan should release the gserver with a limit of 2 to 4 people, that way you could test the scripts without taking away Graal's business

[grim_squeaker_x]

No, not because of the reason that it would take away business from Graal, but because it could potentially be used by hackers (Or, I should say, trainer makers) to see how information is stored and retrieved by the GServer, and if you know that it makes creating trainers much much easier.

it would be nice to make a mini release, that has all the version includes, but i think it would be useless, also it would have to be like qa local thing, and how would you go to it from just your computer? what like another option? online mode, offline mode, and semi-online mode? i don't think so, it would be good for script testing tho...

[AlexH]

a new gserver (one abouve 2.##) will never be released
stefan wouldlose too much miney

[Faheria_GP2]

maybe a network based multi-player mode?

so you could play over a network?

that would be quite nice...

gserver hath died... let it STAY dead... I don't want to hear about what I can't have anymore comprende?

[Mortur]

What would be best, is a limited server, one where you can only let like 5 people max on it, so you can test your scripts. i know personally, i am having a lot of problems testing out my online scripts without having a working world... and none of the old gservers will work with the advanced scripting i am doing. there should be a gserver lite or somethin...

Except that every hacker who's ever been "disrespected" by Graal's constant failure to cater to their every whim has been aching for the release of a new GServer for the sole purpose of reverse-engineering it, upping the "Player Limit" constant from 5 to 16737, and opening their own 1337 super-saiyajin my-rejected-levels-0wn world.

I mean, just look at what Mafukie did with the NW leak.

Yeah, but how are you gonna make it P2P? Force all servers to get authentication from graalonline.com on startup? No good, someone'll hotwire it.

if the gserver did come back so people could tinker with p2p commands it would be local only and it would have built in crc checking (IE like half life, if you haxor it is get's fuxored) and then it sends pgp style keys to exchange with the graalonline server to get authorization to run it. I imagine also that the pgp keys it sends aren't gonna be cracked like hot knife through butter. I forget the way pgp works but it doubt that most trainer makers (who btw use programs to make the trainers they just feed them some hex numbers and it churns out a proggie) Stefan could also design it to only host a couple of levels and like 4 people max (since that is prolly the most anything that is added to graal will ever have, being that CS and Survivor reign supreme). Humm I think I am bored now

hah, you make all hackers to be inferior and stupid... you probably couldnt do half the **** they can... not all hackers like dbz, and many are very good level makers, you're a very pessismistic (sp?) person aren't you tyhm?

[kp_p2p]

and they are aching for a release because they have no more servers to play on cuz u all ban em too fast
